Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / May 2006FS: Oddball Roadrunner
This is a real strange one. It is a 1975 Plymouth Roadrunner. Certainly a project, but is looks like a one year car. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4629374053 I had never seen a '75 Roadrunner before. I thought they went from the Satellite body straight to the Volare body. Apparently they made a stop in Monaco along the way. CCC >This is a real strange one. It is a 1975 Plymouth Roadrunner.

Model number was RM21, so this is the genuine article. 7183 were built, the lowest production year of the big runners. >>This is a real strange one. It is a 1975 Plymouth Roadrunner.

I could guarantee better performance characteristics out of my 1998 Z-34. The crazy part is that this guy has a reserve on the auction. He should be happy to take the $535 that's bid on it now and get it off his lot. A car that size wouldn't get out of it's own way with anything less than a 360... Raymond A.

USA car makers in 1975 all produced bloated under powered cars with huge 5 mph crash bumpers with bolt of smog gear. I happen to like this body style, well the Plymouth Sport Fury version anyway. I had two, a 75 and 78, both 318 cars. The 75 was a dog, but looked nice. The 78 I did some work too. Heads and 4 bbl intake from an 86 Gran Fury cop motor, headers and glass packs, msd ignition. It had a 2.41 rear end. It wouldnt chirp a tire, but the top end was somewhere around or over 150 MPH. Passed many a Z28 with it. Now this one looks severely neglected. Its a shame to me. Kinda sentimental about these, since they were my first two cars. 77-78 Roadrunner was based on the "F" car Volare platform. Not the sport fury >77-78 Roadrunner was based on the "F" car Volare >platform. Not the sport fury And were consequently a piece of garbage. Hell, even the "Sport Fury" was underpowered and overweight... Raymond A. Sirois SysOp: The Lost Chord BBS telnet://thelostchord.dns2go.com:6023 http://thelostchord.dns2go.com:6080 |
