Beep Beep! Did you know that the Plymouth Road Runner is named after the Warner Brothers cartoon character of the same name? Plymouth paid Warner Brothers $50,000 to license the name and likeness of the character. Then, they spent an additional $10,000 to outfit the car with a characteristic “Beep Beep” horn! Talk about commitment to pop culture of the period! Anyways, the Road Runner would go on to become a potent muscle car renowned for, well, its ability to disappear down the road, leaving a cloud of dust or smoked rubber in its wake. That’s why we’re sure that this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner will be quickly snapped up – if you’re reading this, so are several other people! Act fast because this is a numbers-matching car that’s had a complete rotisserie restoration done in 2015. Hence, it won’t stay available for long.
This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner sports a prominent red exterior paint coat with a black vinyl-covered hardtop, as was the style then. The car certainly looks speedy with its dart-like profile, dual headlamps, and lovely period wheels. Look closer, and you’ll note some black hood stripes, gloriously contrasting with the chromed front bumper. The rear bumper receives the same shiny treatment, as do the exits for the dual tailpipes directly beneath. The interior of this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner wears black leather and features front bucket seats plus a rear bench. Look closer, and you’ll note features such as air conditioning and a push-button radio are present. But the essence of the interior remains true to the car’s roots, replete with wind-up windows, ashtrays, and some wood trim here and there. Perhaps the most striking feature here is the car’s gauge cluster, which looks virtually brand-new! Ditto the wood-rimmed steering wheel and wood-topped gear shifter. This is a car that’s been so well restored that it may have been immediately teleported to 2024 right after it rolled off the factory lines in 1969.
This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner comes with the original, numbers matching 383ci V8 under the hood, powering the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual gearbox. The engine has reportedly received new headers, new crank, rods and pistons, and a new exhaust system. Starting from the 383ci block, the engine has been bored out to 439ci V8, giving it a great added rumble and grunt with a bump in power over factory.

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.

Founded by Walter Chrysler, Plymouth was intended to be Chrysler Corporation’s low-cost brand in a burgeoning American auto market.

Back To The Future Fans, rejoice! We’ve got a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 for sale today. Coming to you in all its resplendent stainless steel glory, this gullwing doored machine rocks just 4,548 miles on the clock! Introduced in 1981 and produced for just two years, the car was the brainchild of John Z. DeLorean. If the name is familiar, he’s one of the men responsible for the Pontiac GTO in the Sixties! DeLorean founded his own company in the early Eighties, asked renowned automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro to design the car’s exterior, and went into production. However, various internal and external factors meant that this space-age machine was discontinued by 1983. In total, over 7,500 were made, making this a pretty exclusive machine to own. This car currently resides in Parkland, Florida, and awaits a new owner.
