Plymouth's Road Runner is an epic nameplate in the muscle car space, as it aims to bring muscle car thrills at a more wallet-friendly price point. Introduced in 1968, the nameplate would live until 1980. This particular 1974 Plymouth Road Runner is a fine second-generation example that has 78,000 miles on the clock and is the largest engine of the range. It's an excellent reminder of a bygone era where simplicity was key, and you didn't have digital distractions or computers to sanitize the driving experience.
Red is a fetching color for a car called a Road Runner, and this 1974 Plymouth Road Runner carries off the speedy look with panache, aided by white decals along the sides and the iconic Road Runner cartoon character on the B-pillars. The muscular look is further aided by the twin headlamps, period wheels, and Firestone tall-profile tires. Chrome bumpers add some shine to the car's overall mien, and you'll also notice the twin exhaust pipes that allow the sizable V8 to clear its throat. When you enter the plaid interior of this 1974 Plymouth Road Runner, you'll instantly be transported to the Seventies. The checkered design, light colors, and fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view mirror all add to this time machine trip. The car comes with a full gauge pack within its wood-trimmed dash, including a tachometer. There's also a push-button radio and "Beep Beep" Road Runner floor mats. Popping the trunk reveals a simple and clean space with a proper full-size spare tire waiting should you need it.
The 440 Magnum under the hood of this 1974 Plymouth Road Runner is the largest engine offered on the second generation. Displacing a mammoth 7.2L, the V8 can generate 280hp thanks to the Malaise Era being in full force. Driving the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission, this was one of the fastest cars you could get at the time. Front disc and rear drum brakes constitute stopping power, while the front suspension is an independent torsion bar set-up. At the rear, you'll find leaf springs, typical of many period cars. The current owner reports that the car has undergone a recent oil change and air filter maintenance.
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.

One of those historically significant automotive names, Plymouth was not only named after the famous rock, but also a brand of binder’s twine. Sadly this marque is no more, but they gave us some epic models such as the Roadrunner, Fury, Barracuda and more. Today, we have something a bit older, something from their 1940s collection. This 1950 Plymouth P20 Special Deluxe Convertible Restomod is part of the Plymouth De Luxe line that ran between 1933 and 1942, and again from 1946 to 1950. These full-sized cars came in various body styles, and this particular 40,928-mile machine is a lovely drop-top. It’s got a beige electrically operated convertible top, a newer 350ci V8, an automatic gearbox and more things to make every drive even sweeter.
Few cars captured the spirit of 1990s automotive experimentation quite like the Plymouth Prowler. With its retro-inspired hot rod styling and modern engineering, it became one of the most unique production vehicles of its era. This 1999 example, offered from Nevada, Missouri, is finished in Prowler Red with an Agate leather interior and shows just 7,000 miles from new. With its low mileage and factory originality, it represents a rare opportunity to own a near-pristine first-year Prowler.
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible represents the height of the Fox-body 5.0 era, a time when affordable American V8 performance dominated the streets and the “5.0” badge became a cultural icon. The 1987 refresh brought updated aero styling and improved cylinder heads, helping the High Output 302 earn its legendary reputation. This example shows over 104,000 miles and comes accompanied by a Marti Report, offering documented authenticity and production details that serious collectors appreciate. Finished in Oxford White over a striking Scarlet Red interior and paired with a 5-speed manual, this convertible captures the pure, analog driving experience that defined late-1980s muscle, delivering the unmistakable look, sound, and feel that made these cars instant classics.
Nothing beats the experience of cruising around town in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. Imagine what buyers must have felt like back then?

This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of them, and it’s now available to purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. With just under 40,000 miles, this pony packs a nice 302 under the hood, paired with power steering and a front disc brake conversion for better stopping prowess.
