1970 Plymouth Road Runner Hemi
With freshened styling, the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Hemi was an integral part of Plymouth’s “Rapid Transit System” — the advertising tagline it applied to its bawdiest muscle cars. The redesigned ‘Cuda, the new Duster 340, and the restyled GTX were also charter members. Rapid Transit ads were rife with op-art graphics, flower-power imagery, and brilliant colors. They were an unabashed reflection of the times.
Powered by a 383 V8 motor and mated to the 4-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter. Also featuring; Black hood stripe, Magnum 500 wheels with Grand AM radial G/T tires, and dual exit exhaust system.
Looking inside, we have a very nice-looking black interior with a bench seat, and everything we can see appears to be in exceptionally good condition.
Of course, performance wasn’t compromised. A Hemi-equipped 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and blaze the quarter mile in 13.49 seconds at 106 mph.
Plymouth Road Runner Hemi muscle car spanned the spectrum from fanciful to fearsome — and sometimes displayed both qualities in a single model.
