Description for Plymouth Road Runner 1970
If you're going to build a tribute car, hy not build one of the most outrageous machines of the muscle car era? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Super Bird tribute offers all the performance and jaw-dropping looks at a fraction of the price of a real one, nd with a lot of authentic parts, ven the pros might need to give this one a closer look before deciding if it's real.It's just too cool to own a car that was so fast it was outlawed, nd that's a big part of the thrill of the Super Bird. This replica has exactly the right look, hanks to a genuine steel nose cone and towering rear wing, oth of which were actually used on NASCAR-spec cars when they were new. Other little details that are correct include the vents on the fenders and the extended hood, ot to mention the Petty Blue paint, hich really is the only color for a Super Bird. The only possible demerit might be the lack of a vinyl top (all 'Birds used a vinyl top to hide the sloppy work needed to eliminate the tunnel-like rear window), ut you have to admit that it looks ultra-clean without it. It does have all the correct markings a decals, hich are a big part of the Super Bird look, nd to be honest, his tribute car fits together better than many originals, hich is a testament to the effort invested in the build. This was clearly a labor of love.The Super Bird had a standard Road Runner interior, nd you could get any options you wanted, o finding buckets and a console is a nice treat here. The seat covers are recent and look great on the high-back buckets and there's nice woodgrain on the console that matches the steering wheel. The dash offers a full array of Rallye gauges, ncluding a factory Tick-Tock-Tach, s well as a pair of auxiliary gauges underneath. You'll be surprised to see A/C on this one, very cool addition to the features list, lthough it probably needs a recharge to be fully effective. An AM/FM/cassette stereo lives in the center of the dash, p high where it's easy to see, nd the back seat looks almost new. The Super Bird's trunk is positively massive and includes a correct mat and space-saver spare with jack assembly, orrect braces for the wing, lus the signatures of Richard Petty and Dave Inman. Too cool!The 440 cubic inch V8 was rebuilt to stock specs, nd while it's not a Six-Pack, t does generate the kind of big torque that makes this Super Bird a blast to drive on the street. Nicely detailed and fairly stock looking, t's got a big dual-snorkel air cleaner up top, ompletely with reproduction decals, lus Hemi Orange paint and a set of finned valve covers for dress-up. A big radiator up front means this smooth V8 stays cool and with power steering and a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission, t's surprisingly easy to drive for something with this much speed potential. A recent dual exhaust snarls and cackles the way it should and the underside of the car is shockingly clean, lbeit not detailed for show. There are no major deviations from stock, hich means you get the real experience. And we love the plain-Jane steel wheels and poverty caps wrapped in fat 255/60/15 BFG radials for an industrial-strength look.Priced a Super Bird lately? Yeah, ncredible. So if you want the feel and the gawking stares as you drive by, hy not take this tribute for a spin instead. It's just as much fun for a lot less cash. Call now!
