1971 Plymouth Road Runner Base 383HP Restored
1971 Plymouth RoadRunner F7 Green Poly, 383 HP, 727 Automatic car with the N96 Air Grabber option and track pack. Car has been completely restored from top to bottom. The car was restored and put back true to the fender tag, as far as options go with the exception of switching it over to front disc brakes from drum. Everything else is just as it was originally equipped.
I purchased this car about 5 years ago in the non running condition and in need of complete restoration. I began work on it about 3 years ago and it has just been completed this spring. We worked on it between other work.
The car was completely disassembled. completely. I replaced the floor pans and the rear under seat pan. The left frame rail and apron assembly was replaced. The trunk pan had some pinholes, so it was also replaced. Both rear quarter panels were replaced, along with the wheel housings and the trunk drop offs. All replacement sheet metal supplied from AMD.
The doors are original 1971 doors, as are the fenders, the roof, trunk lid and hood. The body was sandblasted and coated with PPG epoxy sealer prior to bodywork, and again before paint. The car came to me with a standard RoadRunner hood on it, so I sourced a standard hood and did the modification for the reproduction Air Grabber hood bulge and complete Air Grabber setup, this puts the car back to matching the fender tag again.
The car was painted twice, on purpose. The first time it was painted with single stage PPG Concept urethane inside and out, then assembled, then wet block sanded after a 2 week cure time. The car's exterior was then final painted with PPG base coat / clear coat and then buffed to an amazing gloss. While this is an expensive way to paint a car, the final product shows the extra effort and expense given.
The interior is all brand new. The seat covers and door panels were supplied by Legendary Interiors. There is new seat foam installed. The carpet is new and installed over DEI sound barrier and the jute underlayment. The lower door trim panels were replaced as well as the seat backs. The dashpad is brand new. The Rallye Instrument cluster was a used part sourced from a car that was disassembled over 25 years ago and put on a shelf. The wiring looked like it was brand new! I had to change it because the original cluster had been cut around the radio. The steering column has a new directional switch and new bearing. The sound of the RoadRunner NOS horn is installed and operable. The car is also equipped with an inside hood release. Manual windows and no A/C. Column shift and no console.
