The 1969 Plymouth Road Runner Convertible is an iconic piece of American muscle car history, known for its raw power and no-nonsense performance. Out of the 217,216 Road Runners built that year, only 2,218 were convertibles, and just 1,449 came equipped with an automatic transmission and power steering, making this example exceptionally rare. Originally sold at Fred Frederick Motor, Inc. in Laurel, MD (Dealer No. 39705) on April 24, 1969, this car has been meticulously preserved and restored over the years. The current owner purchased it in July 1991 at Chryslers at Carlisle, PA, with 71,712 miles. Recognizing its historical significance, they drove it approximately 2,000 miles over five years before deciding it deserved a full nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration. Now, 34 years later, the odometer reads just 75,718 miles. Having undergone a concours-quality restoration, this Road Runner retains its all-original sheet metal, with every component either restored to factory specifications or replaced with original or NOS parts as needed. The result is a fully functional, numbers-matching muscle car that runs, drives, and sounds just as it did when new. Its exceptional condition and authenticity have earned it top honors, including National First Prize (1997) and Grand National Winner First Prize (2000) from the Antique Automobile Club of America with many other accolades in recent years. With just 2,000 additional miles in the last 32 years, this Road Runner remains a top-tier contender for Concours d’Elegance events and a true collector’s gem.
Finished in Scorch Red (R6), this Road Runner commands attention with its striking Mopar muscle car presence. The Air Grabber hood (N96) adds both style and function, channeling cool air directly into the engine bay for added performance. The car sits on Rallye wheels wrapped in Goodyear F70-14 Red Stripe tires, maintaining an authentic period-correct look. Inside, the factory-original black bench seat (H2X) was upgraded by a previous owner to a more performance-oriented setup, featuring black bucket seats with headrests (H69) and a woodgrain-trimmed center console (C16). The dash includes a tachometer (N85), while the signature Road Runner “Beep Beep” horn adds a playful touch to its otherwise aggressive demeanor. The original AM radio (R11) remains intact, preserving the car’s late-’60s muscle car vibe.
Under the hood, this Road Runner is powered by its original, numbers-matching 383ci V8 (E63), rated at 335 horsepower. Equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor, Coyote Duster air cleaner, and the legendary Air Grabber induction system, it delivers the exhilarating performance that made the Road Runner a muscle car legend. Paired with the A727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission (D32), this drivetrain provides a balance of brute force and smooth power delivery. During its restoration, every mechanical component was meticulously rebuilt and restored to factory specifications, ensuring it performs exactly as it did when it left the assembly line in April 1969. The exhaust note is unmistakably Mopar, producing the deep, throaty rumble that muscle car enthusiasts crave. The current owner, a former mechanic at a Chrysler Plymouth dealership in 1969, later transitioned into sales and ultimately became General Manager. With a passion for Mopar performance, they ensured that every detail of this restoration met factory standards, making this Road Runner one of the most authentic and well-preserved examples on the market.

Collaborations can truly be a lovely thing when done right, and Plymouth did exactly that with its iconic Roadrunner back in the 60s. What was a reported payment of $50,000 for name rights and a further $10,000 to develop the iconic “beep beep” horn is now a cult classic in the muscle car collectors' circle. Present today is your chance to own a true American icon that takes shape with this 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner. Hailing from Saint Mary’s, Ohio and with just 34,793 miles on its clock, this quirky classic can be yours to “beep beep” your way into the weekend.
Automakers don’t do silly things anymore. Like, say, create a muscle car and name it after a beloved cartoon character. Or spend a significant sum of money to buy the naming rights from the intellectual property holder of said character. Or spend even more money after that to develop a horn that sounds just like that character’s jaunty cry. That’s what Plymouth did in the Sixties, with the Road Runner. They paid Warner Brothers US$50,000 to license their Road Runner character’s name and likeness. Then, they spent a further $10,000 to develop a horn that said “Beep Beep” just like the character did on screen. Was it a success? You bet! In fact, if not for the Malaise Era’s impending arrival and renewed focus on fuel economy and emissions, the Road Runner might have run a little bit longer than 1980. Today, we have a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner for sale from Jacksonville, Florida. With a nice 383ci V8, an automatic gearbox and an aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, this 42,228-mile machine is a fine catch for a savvy collector of American classics – or someone who wants to start a collection.
Plymouth may no longer be around, but this storied American auto brand that was under Chrysler’s umbrella will perhaps be best remembered for their Road Runner muscle car. It may seem comical, naming a muscle car after a cartoon character – the Road Runner from the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons by Warner Brothers. It might seem even more comical that Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers to license the name for the car. And it might seem ridiculous that they spent an extra $10,000 merely to develop a horn that made the signature “Beep Beep” sound of the Road Runner from the cartoons. Remember, all this was in Sixties money, so you can do some calculations and see how much was actually spent by Plymouth to get this iconic muscle car as right as possible. Today, Road Runners are highly desirable, so we’re glad that one has come our way. This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner hails from Pittsburgh and has got a 383ci V8 engine under its hood. If you’d like to catch this bird, give us a call or shoot us a DM right now – don’t call the coyote who clearly needs some coaching.
The phrase “street legend” gets thrown around often, but few American muscle cars genuinely deserve it like a factory Hemi B-body Mopar. This 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II H-Code is one of those cars that instantly commands respect from serious collectors, representing the golden age when Chrysler’s race-bred 426 Hemi found its way into street-legal production cars. Nicknamed the “Elephant Engine” for its sheer size and dominance, the 426 Hemi became one of the most feared powerplants of the muscle car era, and having one in a relatively understated Belvedere II body made for one of the ultimate sleeper combinations of the 1960s. Showing approximately 27,205 miles, this particular example goes well beyond mere rarity, boasting an extraordinary pedigree that includes AACA National Junior, Senior, and Grand National awards, along with recognition as a two-time magazine cover feature car. This is the kind of blue-chip Mopar that rarely needs explanation among enthusiasts.
Pre-war American design meets unmistakable Mopar performance in this 1939 Plymouth Business Coupe, a thoughtfully built street rod that blends vintage character with modern usability. Showing approximately 11,691 miles, this coupe presents as a well-executed build that emphasizes both drivability and show-ready appeal. Under the hood sits a 340ci V8 paired with a desirable Torqueflite automatic, while a tri-power carburetor setup adds both visual drama and enhanced performance. With its combination of classic styling, upgraded mechanicals, and custom craftsmanship throughout, this Plymouth offers a compelling opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive and usable hot rod.
Few American muscle cars carry the presence and legacy of the Plymouth ‘Cuda, and this 1972 example stands out with a striking execution that blends period-correct attitude with meticulous craftsmanship. Showing just 256 miles since completion, this ‘Cuda represents a freshly completed, high-level build that captures the essence of early ‘70s Mopar performance. Finished in a vivid Petty Blue-inspired hue and equipped with a desirable 4-speed manual and 340ci V8, this car delivers both visual impact and an engaging, analog driving experience. With its combination of documented build pedigree and iconic styling, it offers collectors a standout example of one of Plymouth’s most celebrated nameplates.
There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.
Few cars symbolize the birth of the American pony car quite like the first-generation Ford Mustang. Introduced in 1964, the Mustang became an instant cultural phenomenon, redefining the performance car landscape with its stylish design, approachable pricing, and broad personalization options. This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible captures that spirit beautifully, showing approximately 7,818 miles and finished in iconic Poppy Red over a matching Red interior with a crisp White convertible soft top. Equipped with V8 power, the desirable Pony Interior Package, styled steel wheels, and modern Bluetooth audio functionality, this Mustang blends timeless 1960s charm with upgrades that make it even more enjoyable to drive and own today.
The C3-generation Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the most iconic eras in American sports car history, instantly recognizable for its dramatic curves, long hood, and unmistakable road presence. By 1977, Chevrolet had refined the formula into a more comfortable grand touring machine while preserving the unmistakable V8-powered character that made the Corvette a household name. This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, showing approximately 65,005 miles, presents as an appealing example that combines classic styling with thoughtful performance-minded upgrades. Finished in eye-catching Light Blue over a Light Buckskin interior, this Corvette offers far more than stock appeal thanks to a replacement 350ci LT1 V8, upgraded 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission installed in 2023, and a newer dual exhaust system. For buyers seeking a C3 that retains its vintage charm while benefiting from modern drivability enhancements, this Corvette strikes a compelling balance between nostalgia and usability.
