1969 Plymouth Road Runner

For sale is a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Coupe. I purchased the car from Havelock, North Carolina years ago and have done my best to keep this thing a time capsule. No matter where you drive or park this, expect someone to take pictures, pose near it or share memories of the one that they had that got away. I purposefully fill this thing up late at night and still spend an hour chatting with someone. Its a great car and while I hate to let it go, there are are just bigger things going on in my life and I still have a bunch of projects that I am not getting to. My sister recently passed away at 47 and I am now raising her 5 kids. Its just a priority thing!

This car is an actual Roadrunner, not a clone. It obviously clones an A-12 but is not an M code car. With that being said for all the purists, the price reflects it. This is a factory triple black car. So for authenticity, its how it came home from the dealer. You wont have to explain why you changed the color! The car started life with a 383 and it is long gone. I never had it, know who took it out or why. However, it now has a 1974 440 motor that has been completely rebuilt using a 512 cubic inch stroker kit from 440 Source in Nevada. Big block Mopars are all the do. The rotating assembly they send is perfection. Best kit I have ever bought. All internal components were bought through them in one balanced and blue printed package. If you need to rebuild a big block Mopar, call these guys, they are amazing. The motor is topped off with a Edelbrock 6 barrel setup that comes to life when you put the hammer down. Its the best of both worlds, low end torque from the stroker kit and high end acceleration from three Holley carbs.

I have gone out of my way to ensure that I keep things as they came from the factory. I have replaced things as they were needed and gone out of my way to source the best parts. I had the factory radiator recored and reassembled rather than replacing it. It still has the factory distributor, factory exhaust manifold, a new Mopar battery, beep beep horn, and a host of minor misc. parts like spark plug wire holders and detail items that I have changed but tracked down originals. I just had the lift off hood repainted because it had some chips that bothered me when cleaning the car. I have not put the 440 6 BBL stickers back on because I like the sinister look without them. I replaced all the hardware on the hood pins when I put it all back together. Included are stainless steel show rods so you can display the car with the hood in the air. It lets people look and drool a little.
The interior is in great shape. It has gauges under the dash so you can keep an eye on things while cruising and also has a clamp on tachometer so you can keep the rpms in check. The car has the factory 727 transmission (matching numbers with the car) as with the rear end which I believe is also original. The car has had small repairs done to the metal. I have spoken at length with the previous 2 owners and verified that the trunk and radiator core numbers are correct for the car and original. It has not been quartered, had fenders or doors replaced, etc. Thats really the best thing about the car is that its pretty much never been cut up or AMD metal worked to death. I had the car paint and bumpers polished before it went in for hibernation this winter. Windows on the car are factory tinted, nothing blacked out. The tires are in great shape and this thing gets driven maybe 800 miles a year. I have a nice little cruise loop we do in the summer and grab ice cream. Trust me, if you want to be the envy of the block, get endless thumbs ups and draw a crowd, show up in this. The big block Mopar rumble attracts a crowd for sure.

If you want to show up and take a look, thats great. Not agame player.You want the car, drop the dough and go enjoy it.I willgladly assist with transporting if needed, but we will have to work allthat out after we come up with a mutually agreeable price.The daysof finding one thats complete that you can drive and enjoy are rapidlypassing.Ive built more than my fair share of Mopars from a pile ofparts after someone got in over their head to know that all the stuffyour missing costs more than what you paid for the car. Save the time, headache and enjoy one today. Put the key in, pump the gas and start it up. Enjoy the fumes and fun of American muscle at its best!

Make this your BEST Christmas ever!
I have the car in a steel building all year long and it is locally listed for sale. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Bid often and accordingly, 50 year old cars of this caliber aren't everywhere!
