This 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Hardtop Coupe features what is believed to be its original Air Grabber topped 383 cubic inch V8 backed by a four-speed manual transmission controlled by a Pistol Grip shifter. Torque is sent to a Sure-Grip-equipped 3.91:1 rear end.

The current caretaker purchased this 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner in May 2007 with 28,781 original miles on it. During his fifteen years of ownership, he added approximately 11K miles which stood at 39,428 as of the first week of May 2022.  This Roadrunner features a completely rebuilt engine, a new wiring harness, and the power brakes have been updated as well. With the exception of the windshield, the glass is all original.

While this Roadrunner features replacement rear quarter panels and trunk floor, the restoration work is high quality with good panel gaps and no waves in the panel sides.

    Please advise if the drivetrain was rebuilt?
    Does the car have power steering?
    Are there pre-inspections?
    Thank you

      Hi Al, the engine has been rebuilt, in the seller’s words, “Top to Bottom” but we will provide me details of what the internals of the V8’s rebuild contains on Tuesday. This is manual steering, power brake car. We’re not sure what you mean by “Pre-Inspections”? In addition to providing a detailed walk-around video and nearly two hundred detailed pictures of the car, we also provided a third-party Lemon Squad Pre-Purchase inspection that you can go through to understand the current condition of the car. If you are in the area and want to look at and inspect the car, you’ll need to register as a bidder and place a bid to show you are a serious buyer. Please feel free to call Rudy at 877-468-6497 with any additional questions. Thanks for looking!

    This Car was for sale last year and the owner decided he did not want to sell it or he couldn’t get enough money for it???so he took it off of the bidding process, I think I will pass given that decision…?

      We’re not sure what you are trying to insinuate, but we could not be more transparent than what is said in the introductory paragraph. Still, we will restate it here: The car did not meet the seller’s reserve price when we held the auction in May of 2022 earlier THIS year, not last year. At that point, the seller decided to enjoy the car for the summer, and now, with fall quickly approaching, he agreed to lower his reserve price significantly from the spring auction, which we believe is more in line with the car’s value. This is a fairly common practice in the collector car world. We’re not sure why you would pass based on that transparent information, but we wish you luck in finding a car that makes you feel more comfortable bidding on.
