Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this striking Sunfire Yellow 1970 Plymouth Road Runner for sale. For you Mopar lovers, this bad boy comes with lots of receipts from what appear to be the person who had it restored (most dated in the 2011 timeframe), along with the original Broadcast Sheet (which is safely housed in a glass-faced picture frame).

This classic muscle car radiates a bold presence on the road, capturing the essence of a bygone era marked by power and style. Under the lightweight lift off hood (where its original 383 CID V8 was) now is a very muscular 440 CID V8, which is augmented by a polished aluminum high rise "+6" intake featuring the expected triple deuce carb setup. The big 440 is equipped with MSD ignition (including billet distributor, Blaster coil, and digital spark optimizer), and real braided steel lines (with proper AN fittings) handle coolant and fuel flow. Custom stainless headers provide extra scavenging for the exhaust gases into its true dual exhaust system. A giant aluminum radiator helps keep the big block running in the green zone, and with its Brewer's Performance-built A833 4-Speed manual transmission, you'll experience an authentic and thrilling driving experience.

Step inside to the sleek black interior, where vintage charm meets modern comfort. An auxiliary 3-gauge cluster under the dash provides monitoring for coolant temp, oil pressure, and volts. The original "Tic Toc Tach" is augmented by the shift-light-equipped Sunpro tach on the steering column. The synthetic leather seating not only adds a touch of sophistication but also ensures a comfortable ride. The vehicle is equipped with an AM/FM radio, providing entertainment options to enhance your journeys. Safety remains a priority with the inclusion of seatbelts, ensuring that the classic appeal does not compromise on essential features.

Adding to its robust performance are the BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, which are known for their durability and grip, making this Road Runner ready to tackle any road with confidence. This combination of classic aesthetics, powerful performance, and essential amenities makes the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner a timeless treasure for any automotive enthusiast, so call or email our Houston Showroom today!
