Classic Car Overview
Cruisin Classics is delighted to share with you this exceptionally well-presented 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. This mighty Mopar comes to us today dressed in a slick and glossy coat of its original paint color Sunfire Yellow (Y2) with a fantastic-looking black vinyl top. Gone are the white longitudinal stripes that were originally on the car, leaving all the focus on the gorgeous yellow body. The hood features parallel faux air intakes with 383 call-outs that let you know this Plymouth means business. At the forefront youll find dual side-by-side headlights flanking a horizontal grille with a gleaming chrome bumper sitting beneath. Bright chrome trim frames the windows and top and continues with the dual sport side mirrors, door handles, drip rail molding and rocker molding. This Plymouth retains most of its original sheet metal including floorpans and trunk pans that are in excellent condition. The rear quarters have been replaced and whoever did it did a stellar job the sides are laser-straight and they even applied factory-appearing sound deadener on the inner walls. Both doors wear fresh and colorful Road Runner bird decals next to bright road runner badges. Around back is another mirror-finish chrome bumper with factory chrome exhaust tips poking out from underneath. Square taillights flank a trunklid with a bird decal and another road runner badge on the lower lip. The gas fill is hidden behind the flip-down license plate holder. The stance of this Mopar is just perfect as it sits atop 14 OEM Kelsey Hayes steel road wheels wrapped in white-letter BF Goodrich Radial TAs. When you lift the big yellow hood prepare to be impressed! This unbelievably clean body-color engine bay is home to a numbers-matching 383ci 6.3 liter V-8 thats just waiting to go show you what it can do. This 383 block is topped off with 906 heads, an OEM intake manifold, a Carter 4-barrel carburetor, and a correct air cleaner with a 383 Road Runner Engine decal on top. The block, heads, valve covers, intake, and water pump have all been recently repainted in bright orange and it looks awesome. The big V-8 is mated up to a Chrysler 727 3-speed automatic transmission (dated 1971) that sends power to the pavement via an 8 rear axle with 3.91:1 gears. Exhaust flows through clean OEM HP manifolds, newer pipes, and flowmaster mufflers before exiting the rear with a heavenly rumble thats bound to turn heads. Stopping power is credited to 4-wheel drum brakes that do a better-than-expected job of bringing this beast to a standstill. Other highlights under the hood include a new under-hood heat mat, Chrysler electronic ignition, an original fender tag, power steering, and the iconic Beep-Beep horn that everyone loves. Swing open the drivers door and the dome courtesy light comes on to reveal a jaw-droppingly nice black stock interior. Door panels are OEM-simplistic with armrests, window cranks, and a drivers-side mirror toggle. Both the front and rear bench seats are dressed in factory-correct black vinyl in excellent condition. The quality black hook and loop carpet looks like it was installed in the recent past. Overhead are a nice tight black vinyl headliner and shoulder safety belts for the front passengers. The driver is treated to a a wood 3-spoke (optional) steering wheel with a Beep-Beep centercap on a fixed column. Also on the column is a shifter and indicator for the automatic transmission. Ahead of the wheel is a crack-free black vinyl dash with working lights and gauges. There are gauges for Alt, Fuel, and Temp as well as a 120mph speedometer. The odometer reads 29,354 miles and the title states those miles are actual! Below the gauges to the left are controls for the lights and to the right are controls for the working wipers. In the center of the dash is a factory AM radio that powers up but only seems to produce static. Above the radio on the underside of the dashpad are controls for the working heat and fan. Ahead of the passenger are a couple of bird decals and a road runner badge above the flip-up glovebox door. Around back in the clean trunk youll find new weather-stripping, a plaid vinyl mat, a bias-ply spare tire, a factory jack, and a correct jacking instruction sticker under the lid.
