One of the great things about restoring a vintage muscle car is that you can color outside the lines a little bit and everyone still loves it. Take this great-looking 1969 Plymouth Road Runner for instance: its instantly recognizable yet has a few tasteful upgradesand#44; and when it was restored the owner created his own version of his dream carand#44; a white-on-black Road Runner. The result is one of the coolest Beepers weve ever seen. With all the red and green cars aroundand#44; its easy to forget how awesome bright white can look. Beautifully restored from a very solid original carand#44; this Roadrunners low profile color is what makes it so attention-grabbing. Seriouslyand#44; look over our showroom from a distanceand#44; and this lone white car stands out like a searchlight. A lot of that is due to the workmanship that restored it to this leveland#44; which included making sure those big quarters were straightand#44; the doors fit rightand#44; and giving it a modern shine that would be impossible to duplicate using 1969 technology. The white paint also makes the black inserts on the quarter panels really stand out in contrastand#44; accentuating the Roadrunners aggressive look. Theres also a stock hood with the usual faux air ventsand#44; and itand#44; tooand#44; takes on a new look by NOT having the blackout treatment. Cooland#44; right? Refinished chromeand#44; bright stainlessand#44; and a minimum of add-ons make it simply sparkle in the sun. The black and white interior is a big part of what makes this car special. Yesand#44; its the original combination and with some very desirable optionsand#44; it was restored to factory specs in 2012. New seat covers and door panels are so clean theyre almost sterileand#44; with a black dash and fresh black carpets to really make it work. The steering wheel was wrapped in black leather and the gauges were restored to cover the basics in a wide swath of dashboard real estateand#44; and there are the usual auxiliary dials under the dash. The Music Master AM radio is long goneand#44; replaced by a modern Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo head unit that slots neatly in its place using a custom block-off plate. A glance in the trunk confirms that those are the original quarter panelsand#44; and its finished with a correct plaid mat. With a 383 cubic inch V8 under the hoodand#44; this Road Runner is a great cruiser and against the white paintand#44; the Hemi Orange engine really sings. Black finned valve coversand#44; the black hosesand#44; and all the ancillary parts look better in this white car than just about anywhere elseand#44; but that also means you need to get it right for maximum effect. The big chrome air cleaner dominates the top of the engineand#44; and underneath youll find an upgraded 4-barrel carburetor and matching intake manifold. Those exhaust manifolds were refinished during the restoration and still look greatand#44; remedying a frequent sore spot for these cars engine bays. Underneathand#44; its backed by a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission with a Stage II shift kit which twists a set of 3.23 gears inside the original 8.75-inch rear with a Sure-Grip limited slip. Twin Flowmasters sound fantasticand#44; but otherwise its just cleanand#44; originaland#44; nicely presented Mopar muscle. Gorgeous Centerline aluminum wheels give it a slightly modern twist and wear 26x8-15 front and 26x12.5-15 Mickey Thompson radials. Nicely restored and ready to rockand#44; this is an unusual and highly attractive piece of Mopar muscle. Dont hesitateand#44; there arent many this cool around these daysand#44; especially not at this price. Call now! |
