1971 Plymouth Roadrunner

1971 Plymouth Road Runner The 1971 Plymouth Road Runner ushered in the second generation with Chryslers striking fuselage design, featuring sweeping body contours, a loop-style front bumper, and optional Air Grabber hood scoops. Built on a 115-inch wheelbase, it blended a more refined chapter for high-compression big-block engines before emissions regulations and soaring insurance rates reshaped the performance market. As Hi Performance CARS magazine wrote, We had felt the early models were too boxy, extremely tasteless, and sported a interior that had been rejected by the Taxi division For 1971 the Road Runner is a whole new ball game. Our 1971 Road Runners power now comes from a modern 6.4-liter Hemi V8 paired with a performance 727 3-speed automatic transmission. Finished in classic Dodge Lemon Twist paint with black accents, it sports front eyebrow spoilers, an AAR Cuda style rear wing, and a custom trunk strip. The interior has been refreshed, with the contemporary touch of retro-style radio with Bluetooth. An those customer LED halo headlights are just a hint of what lurks under the hood.
