For sale is this 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner with the factory 383: 333hp & the 727 automatic transmission. This car also has the heavy duty 3:23 ratio 8 3/4" positraction. One of the few options includes power steering. The original beep-beep roadrunner horn does work! This was carefully restored with a fine eye for detail. This was one mans passion that began in 2005 when a nice, rust free southern complete body & engine was located. It was brought home and everything was dissasembled. The only thing that keeps this car from being a frame off job is there was no rotisserie. Everything was either repaired, re-built, or replaced. Everything was painstakingly painted the factory colors and put back in the proper location. The job was finished in mid summer 2009 and besides a few trips out it has been garaged ever since. The car has a nice sound when running and always starts up with one push to the gas pedal and one turn of the key. No expense was spared in the restoration of this solid, rust free southern car and she still sports all her original metal including the floor pan, trunk pan and entire frame.

My father restored this car & thankfully he did get to enjoy it a little until he passed away late last year. He left behind all the cars "specs" and instructed the family how to construct the auction on ebay. He was a stickler for details, God love him. So suffice to say that if anything isnt covered in this auction, if anything was left out by mistake, you can count on that part (assembly) being new or restored. He instructed that the car is to be sold at auction & the money divided up among his 3 grandchildren in a college fund. He was a noble man and we have much love and respect for him and his memory. His heart was filled with joy toward the end that he was able to complete & enjoy his last restoration project. We were lucky to share it with him. High bidder is expected to pay a non-refundable deposit of $500 imediately after the winning bid is made. This is to ensure you are a viable winner. Full payment MUST be made within 10 days of the auctions end. Your offers are appreciated but this must be an auction, so there can be no buy it now. The reserve is set fair & below the cars value, so please bid. We want to answer your questions quickly & honestly, but please respect that we dont know as much about the car as he did, so please have patience.
