Description
1970 Plymouth Road Runner – Numbers-Matching 383 V8, Bravo White, Rotisserie Refurbishment, Factory Disc Brakes
This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner is a second-generation example that underwent an extensive, multi-year refurbishment between 2014 and 2019. It now features a repaint in Bravo White, factory-style black vinyl upholstery, and a rebuilt, numbers-matching 383ci V8 paired with a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The restoration included full overhauls of the braking, suspension, electrical, fuel, and exhaust systems, along with several California-market-specific options, such as a Noise Reduction Package with a dual-snorkel air cleaner and turn-down exhaust tips.
Additional highlights include power-assisted front disc brakes, Magnum 500 wheels, and extensive documentation including build photos, receipts, and a dyno sheet. The vehicle shows fewer than 56k miles on its five-digit odometer and retains factory charm with performance-focused upgrades and cosmetic excellence.
Exterior – Finished in Bravo White with Refined Details
Originally delivered in Rally Red, the car was fully repainted in period-correct Bravo White during the restoration. The bodywork included AMD patch panels installed ahead of the left rear wheel and behind the right rear wheel. Attention to detail during reassembly included the installation of new door hinges, though the passenger-side door lock remains inoperable.
