1970 Plymouth Road Runner Coupe

This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner coupe delivers exactly what the name promises—raw muscle, bold attitude, and big-block performance wrapped in one unmistakable package. Refurbished under prior ownership and upgraded with a 440+6 setup, this car takes the original formula and turns it up several notches, now finished in a striking purple that perfectly suits its aggressive personality.

Under the hood sits a rebuilt 440ci V8, reportedly sourced from a late-’60s Mopar and built in the spirit of the legendary Six Pack cars. Topped with an Edelbrock intake and a trio of two-barrel carburetors, and supported by MSD ignition components, this engine delivers strong, immediate power with that unmistakable big-block punch. Long-tube headers and a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers—and even electrically actuated bypass valves—give you the option to go from cruising to full-on muscle car soundtrack at the push of a button.

Power is sent through a rebuilt TorqueFlite automatic transmission, making this Road Runner an easy car to drive while still delivering serious straight-line performance. Recent maintenance, including replacement ball joints, rear brakes, and tires, adds confidence to the driving experience, while power steering and front disc brakes help keep everything manageable on today’s roads.

The exterior makes no attempt to blend in. Originally finished in Sassy Grass Green, it now wears a deep purple repaint accented by black hood striping, Road Runner and 440+6 graphics, hood pins, and a rear wing. Details like pop-out rear windows, simulated scoops, and polished exhaust tips complete the look, while 15″ Rallye wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra white-letter tires give it the proper stance every classic Mopar deserves.

Inside, the cabin keeps things focused and functional with black vinyl upholstery, bucket seats, and a center console with woodgrain trim. A modern digital stereo adds convenience, while the factory-style gauge cluster is supplemented by additional Summit Racing gauges for monitoring vital signs. The signature “Beep! Beep!” horn button is a small but perfect reminder of the car’s personality—serious performance with a sense of fun.

Showing 900 miles on the odometer (with additional miles added under current ownership), this Road Runner represents a well-sorted build that captures the essence of the era while offering upgrades that make it more enjoyable today.

For someone who remembers when Road Runners were the no-nonsense answer to overpriced muscle cars, this one brings that feeling back—with more power and presence than ever. It’s the kind of car you would have wanted sitting in your driveway in 1970: big block, bold color, and ready to run. Today, it offers the same appeal, only better sorted and ready to enjoy. If you’re after a classic Mopar that delivers both nostalgia and serious performance, this 440+6 Road Runner doesn’t hold back.
