1969 Plymouth Other for sale $119,900

Lets face it as much as we love the muscle cars of old the advancements in technology that are available in a vehicle today are pretty nice and handy: Bluetooth cruise control climate control and not to mention all the safety advancements that we have made over the years. But what if you could have both? Is there a way of combining the incredible look of yesteryear with all the technology of a modern day vehicle? Instead of performing a standard resto-mod on a 69 Roadrunner that was brought to them West Coast Classic decided to make this particular Roadrunner set the bar for all future resto-mods by combining it with a 2008 Hemi Charger SRT8.

How would that even work you ask? Well the team purchased a used 08 Hemi Charger SRT8 stripped it down to the bare chassis made a few tweaks and then placed the Roadrunner body down on the Charger. The result is a 1969 Hemi Roadrunner like you have never seen before. Thanks to a 6.1L Hemi that cranks out 425hp a gorgeous leather interior and extensive work to the body and chassis this Roadrunner is a true modern day muscle car.

BODYWORK/TRIM

Unlike most of its counterparts the Roadrunner doesnt look so much muscular– it looks indestructible. Fresh out of the extensive and unique build the paint work is first rate and displays a level of depth that factory sprayed cars simply cant compete with. The color itself is made up of 6 coats of Lotus Calypso Red which is shot over impressively straight AMD panels. The car makes a great first impression. Panel fitment is equally good with even gaps all around. Looking at the car head on a single strip of stainless wraps around four headlights and a square grille that keeps with the cars hard lines. A show quality chrome bumper houses turn signals and a recess for the license plate. At the start of the hood Plymouth lettering is found just above the headlights and leads to an aggressive slick hood that wears two hood scoops that reveal the Hemi lying underneath. The side profile remains largely free of distractions with only front and rear marker lights chrome door handles and Road Runner badges. Under the angled roofline clean glass surrounds the interior framed by dent-free stainless trim pieces that provide a nice contrast against the vibrant red paint. Out back two square taillights are angled inward framing the lower portion of the decklid. Another chrome bumper two chrome exhaust tips and one final Road Runner badge complete the look.

ENGINE

Lift the massive Roadrunner hood and youll find the SRT8s 6.1L Hemi V8 that cranks out a stout 425hp at 6200 RPMs. Given the massive horsepower output you would be surprised to learn that if you could tame your right foot the engine was good for nearly 20mpg on the highway. At the top of the famous Hemi Orange block is the tall intake manifold that shoves the air fuel mixture into the hemispherical combustion chamber. The build team installed touches throughout that really speak to the heritage of the Roadrunner. On the air box is a Coyote Duster decal that catches everyones attention while also installed is the voice of the Roadrunner horn.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Underneath this Roadrunner is where you see it turn 100% Charger. Flip it upside down and youll see the 08 Charger SRT8 chassis that West Coast Classic cut in half and when it was all said and done removed 4 inches from the chassis and narrowed it another 4 inches to allow for perfect wheel placement in the Roadrunner. The process was extremely extensive and when finished the team discovered they had used over 50lbs of welding wire to make the chassis a perfect fit for the Roadrunner. By
