The '70s saw big changes for the American automotive industry; the oil crisis meant large gas guzzlers were out the door, and the American car buyer had to embrace the fuel-sipping performance showcased by imports. Prior to 1973, however, the world was filled with performance and sharp looks; today, it is an example of intense performance and good looks that stems from the golden era of muscle cars. Are you looking to get your hands on your very own example of unfiltered muscle? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could be the answer.
Standing out in terms of design in the '70s was a tough ask; you had the legendary Ford Mustang and a host of other muscle cars bringing their A-game. The Plymouth Road Runner, however, struck through all the sharp looks and aggressive features and still grabs the hearts of many muscle car fanatics. This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner dons a blue exterior and features some tasteful upgrades, including custom stickering running across the car and a black racing stripe on the car's hood. The aggressive styling transitions into a set of two-tone Cragar-styled wheels, which serve as this car's shoes. This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner has a blue interior that matches the exterior. The leather interior appears to be how it would be when it left the factory and sports many of its interior components. A look around the interior reveals Road Runner lettering on the steering wheel and throughout the interior. You even get a custom gear shifter.
Some would argue that a muscle car without a large V8 is not a true muscle car; the V8 powertrain must be loud, ensure decent performance, and, most importantly, bring a smile to your face when you crank it up. Under the hood of this 1970 Plymouth Road Runner is a 440ci V8 motor, which is the right type of motor for what's specified above and more. A closer look at the engine bay of this 70s muscle will reveal upgraded Mopar performance valve covers, Edelbrock components, and an upgraded air filter for enhanced performance. The current owner reports that this machine's maintenance is up to date and ready to run. In true muscle car fashion, this classic car channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, giving you a more engaging experience.

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.
Beep Beep! Move over, it’s the Road Runner! Named after the lovable Warner Brothers character from the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons, Plymouth reportedly paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers for the right to use the Road Runner name and likeness. They spent a further $10,000 on development of a signature “Beep Beep” horn as well! Needless to say, the Road Runner was a massive success and remains one of America’s most loved muscle cars to this day. Now, we have a chance for one lucky enthusiast to get their hands on a massively upgraded 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Restomod from Milford, Pennsylvania. With its 440ci V8, Tremec TK500 5-speed manual transmission and Holley Six Pack Tri-Power system, this is one speedy car!
Plymouth is one of the oldest American automotive brands, with a rich history that can be traced back to 1928. Founded by Walter Chrysler, Plymouth was intended to be Chrysler Corporation’s low-cost brand in a burgeoning American auto market. However, it quickly transcended boundaries, giving us some greats like the Barracuda, Road Runner and more. Sadly, this great brand bid goodbye to us in June 2001. Having said that, you can still find plenty of Plymouth cars for sale from all eras. This particular 1931 Plymouth PA Coupe Street Rod is interesting because it’s one of their earliest efforts, albeit extensively resto-modded into a fine street rod. Up for grabs in Lubbock, this 7,751-mile machine boasts a 327ci V8, a 4-speed autobox, a custom paint job and an uncanny ability to raise eyebrows, turn heads and garner smiles of appreciation. Yes, it’s a car that no-one can find a reason to hate on, basically. Now isn’t that worthy of acquisition?
Immortalized in print and on screen, the Plymouth Fury was famous for its role as killer possessed car Christine in Steven King’s thriller novel, as well as the movie of the same name. This was in fact a 1958 two-door model, which is far removed from today’s 1966 Plymouth Fury, so don’t worry, this car isn’t likely to ambush you. In fact, it offers you a superb period driving experience, allowing you to experience a full-size four-door Plymouth and see what this iconic American brand could provide. Today’s example has under 18,000 miles on it and hails from Chandler, Arizona. Give us a call if you’re interested.

One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
