1974 Plymouth Road Runner

1974 Road Runner.   Low Miles Confirmed. Rust Free. Factory A/C (blows cold). Hurst Pistol Grip. and Tint. There's over $60k invested in this vehicle. I don't expect to recover my investment. but I expect a respectable number that's in line with what's been sold through major auction houses (minus the fees). The Road Runner is recognized as one of the most desirable muscle car investments available to the collector in the marketplace today. While most of the classic car market is suffering the Mopar family of cars (Dodge and Plymouth) such as the Charger. Demon. Daytona. Coronet. Superbird. Challenger. Cuda. Duster. Fury. and Road Runner continue to make huge gains in value. The average annual appreciation over the past three years has been 15%. By 2020. it's estimated that their value will have more than doubled. and by 2027 returns are expected to be in the range of 500%.  The point is you're not just buying something that's sure to be pure enjoyment to drive. a ton of fun. and filled with nostalgic memories of times past. You're making an investment that when cared for properly will pay a big return in the years to come.  I'm often peppered with questions about spotting an original over a fake Mopar. First. make sure the numbers match (VIN. Fender Tag. Driver's Door. and Engine Block). Second. understand what those letters and numbers mean. For example all 1970's era Road Runners have a VIN beginning with RM (this one does. ) followed by "21" signifying that it's a 2-Door Coupe. The next two. P4. reveals the engine. This Road Runner is an RM21P4 (VIN and Fender Tag). She's a turnkey muscle car from day one that's ready rumble and turn heads from day one. The performance is exceptional and she doesn't begin to hum until the OD hits 90 mph. oil pressure stays steadily between 70-80. and the temp is always between 150-180 degrees even when the A/C is on high under the Florida summer heat. If you have a Mopar and can't figure out the overheating issue then consider two easy fixes - install a lower radiator hose with a coil. and make sure the clutch fan is functioning properly.  Options include.

Signals WorkHistoryMost so-called "experts" will tell you they're weren't any 400 or 440's produced in 1973 and 1974 with the 4 speed Hurst pistol grip.   Here's three reasons why they're wrong. and further proof why this is one rare bird. 1) My grandfather was in charge of production for the Road Runner from day one.   He's not a liar. 2) Hemming documents in their April 2014 issue corroborates by writing. "In 1974 extra-cost engines (400 and 440) received callouts on the hood. and the 440 also received GTX emblems. A three-speed manual transmission was standard. and a Hurst Pistol Grip-shifted four-speed was optional. as was the three-speed TorqueFlite automatic. 3) The VIN is RM21P4I just passed the 30000 original mile mark.  The engine was done at 27. 00 miles.   No. $20k doesn't get it done.
