Vehicle Detail
1969 PLYMOUTH ROAD RUNNER that is a real factory RM21 car. This car has been restored to almost a perfect factory original, the new paint is correct, the interior is correct, the 383 motor is nom, but correct date coded, and freshly rebuilt, with a 4-speed transmission. This has been a Texas car for some time, so there are no rust issues. The engine compartment is correct and freshly detailed, and the undercarriage is also detailed, and very clean with no signs of prior collision repair, or rust repair. The floors, rockers and trunk are is great condition to be over 40 years old. The interior is new, and the original am radio still sets in the uncut dash with the one speaker under the dash, no holes have been cut in the kick panels, doors, or package tray for speakers. Everything on this car works, like it should. I have the original painted to match the car steel wheels with white letter tired mounted on them, and the dog dish hubcaps that also go with the car, simply by changing the wheels gives this car a entirely different appearance. There is only one issue with the paint and body that keeps it from being perfect and that is where something was left on the air cleaner and the hood was closed on it leaving a small imprint and small paint crack on the hood (as shown it the photos of the car), it was not fixed because it did not bother me - but the next owner may want to address it. My first new car was identical to this car with only one exception, my car did not have power steering like this one has. I reluctantly sold my first road runner because I was raising a family and needed cars with at least 4 doors, it just seemed like the practical thing to do at the time. Over the years I always wondered what ever happened to my first new car that I bought new for less than $3000.00 out the door, back then cokes were just a dime, today if you can find a coke for under a dollar, you better buy it. I looked for years for a car just like my old one, and finally found it, and have enjoyed reliving my youth. I took the car to a car show earlier this year and it drew a huge crown, not many real road runners left I guess, but while I was there I also was drawn to a car that while I had a family, driving sedans and station wagons that I use to just drive by the Oldsmobile dealership and stare at every time I had a chance, a 442 convertible, and bought it on the spot. Now I find myself driving the convertible more than the road runner, and have two 40 year old plus cars in my two car garage, with my brand new truck sitting out on the driveway in the hot and dry Texas weather. I thought about building another garage for my truck, even thought about selling my home and buying another one with a three car garage, but once again, I think the only practical thing to do is sell my roadrunner AGAIN. I am only selling this car because of space problems, and not really interested in trades at all, unless you just happen to have a 1962 Corvette, I was not even old enough to drive in 1962, and could not even begin to afford a car like that, but I sure did want one, and still do to this day, so if you have one and want to trade for a road runner, please call me, and I will worry about the parking issue later. All questions, inquiries, and offers can call 210-494-4075....If you have to leave a message, I will call you back.
