Envisioned by its owner as the perfect mix of classic muscle car attitude and first class modern performance, this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner is one of the finest Mopar pro-tourers we've ever featured!
This Road Runner's complete rotisserie restoration began when Steve Koepke of Classic Ventures in Woodstock, Illinois meticulously stripped its solid original body, welded up a set of high quality quarters and block sanded every one of its facets until he had a smooth, consistent canvas. Once that canvas was fully prepped from top to bottom, a slick coat of Charcoal Gray urethane was expertly applied under bright red, horizontal pin stripes and buffed to the kind of brilliant wet-look shine that can only be achieved with today's advanced paint technology. The result is one super slick Mopar muscle car which wraps brutal performance in killer good looks!
Raise the wide, Charcoal hood and you'll find a killer 500 cubic inch monster block which takes this Mopar from 'very appealing' to 'MUST HAVE'. At the top of that engine, a simple chrome breather funnels wind from a re-usable filter element to a giant Demon 850 carburetor that's juiced by fresh stainless fuel lines. At the base of that carburetor, an Indy dual plane intake sends a rich air/fuel mixture into aluminum Indy 440EZ-1 cylinder heads that are equipped with both Crane Cams hydraulic roller lifters and Harland Sharp roller rocker arms. Those heads are bolted to a familiar 440 block that's been bored 0.30 over and equipped with a complete Eagle stroker kit which includes an Eagle steel crank, Eagle H-beam connecting rods, SRP pistons with Speed Pro rings and Clevite bearings. The car's massive 11 to 1 compression is managed by a Competition hydraulic roller camshaft that's hooked to a Cloyes timing chain. And spent gases are efficiently expelled through a slick set of TTI ceramic coated long tube headers. Fire is supplied by an MSD Pro-billet distributor which shoots sparks through high performance Taylor plug wires. And cooling comes courtesy of a heavy duty aluminum radiator which sits in front of two quick spinning electric puller fans.
Behind the big bore engine you'll find a slick shifting Centerforce hydraulic clutch that's connected to a Tremec 5-speed transmission and a stalwart Ford nine inch limited slip rear end which is complete with a Strange aluminum center section, Strange axle shafts and new 3.73 gears. Naturally, the car's old-school front torsion bar and rear leaf spring suspension has been exchanged for a more competent independent front, four link rear set up. And that new suspension is augmented with tubular control arms, a thick front sway bar, adjustable QA1 coil over shocks, fresh power rack and pinion steering and a Wilwood brake system which includes 11 inch slotted discs at all four corners. At the center of the car, custom fabricated, and custom welded, subframe connectors ensure the buff engine's ample torque doesn't manifest itself as unfortunate twist. And at the corners of the car, power flows through a sweet set of 18 inch, solid aluminum wheels that are wrapped in aggressive 245/40 front and 285/40 rear BF Goodrich G-Force T/A radials.
Open this Plymouth's big, solid doors and sit down inside a cockpit where the timeless good looks of American muscle meld seamlessly with tasteful upgrades and modern conveniences. The custom leather and suede seats, which were supplied by Addison Auto Interiors of Addison, Illinois, are firm and feel much more upscale than traditional Mopar hardware. At the bottom of those seats, fresh Maroon carpet props a chrome Hurst shifter under a faux carbon fiber pistol grip handle. In front of the seats the car's pristine Maroon dash hangs a custom gauge panel, which is complete with stylish Auto Meter American Muscle gauges, beside a remote controlled Kenwood CD player and traditional buttons for the car's heat and air conditioning system. At the sides of the seats, custom Maroon and Black door panels hang pliable armrests between fresh stainless trim, new chrome window cranks and bright chrome door handles. And in front of the driver, a familiar Mopar Tuff Wheel spins around a rebuilt original steering column.

R K , We need to see new cars for sale, on a regular basis, cars from years ago even though they are nice, they are long gone, and no chance on buying now ! Thanks and keep them coming!!!
My heart is broken. I had a 69 Roadrunner, gray with a black vinyl top. 4 speed. I loved the machine !!!
What color was the interior?
WOW....just an incredible RR with everything nice, but tastefully not over done.
I'm a 74 year Vietnam veteran i sure miss mine i bought mine 69 gtx 440 😂
Beautifully built !
I can barely stand to watch this. I bought a brand new 1969 Road Runner Convert in April of '69. It only cost $3,700. I STILL kick myself for not keeping it. Ayeeeee..
most impressive,..well done lads.
How can you feature a beautiful car like that with missing center caps.
Car perfection
masterpiece!
This is the nicest one I've seen
gorgeous :) inside and out
Coolest car ever
Very beautiful, from Argentina
sweet mopar
Nice resto mod.
As a rule of thumb, if you see a car for sale shown on a carousel and no price mentioned, it's usually priced at more than it's worth.
She's beautiful with these rims, perfect RR!!!! :)
Love it!!
Its boss, except for the hip hop rims.
Small detail; Missing the Road Runner Bird Decal (with Helmet in hand) above the rear trunk lock. The interior is not as appealing or complimentary to the rest of this very nice car.
RK Motors has the best cars!
Well, if your going to customize a classic treasure, this would be a good choice.
Wow, stunning in every way. Has to be $200,000?
sorry....I love these cars but the interior is ugly should be all black....
elcodude621 I disagree I like the contrast but to each his own .
Nice job on the frame & body, but the interior is ruined! Custom gauges are aweful. Stock bench seat is better than silly, tiny buckets. Red interior is gaudy, especially carpet! Also, the emblems are missing from hood, fenders, trunk lid, etc.
If your gonna update use an electronic ignition. Dual points suck. Big block? What the hell is it?
I can see Vin Diesel owning this car, and of course, racing it.
why is it bored .03 over?
Used motor
the inside is ugly/nice looking car!
too bad it no steer great for the barline road
😂
IT'S A RESTO-MOD, NOT A RESTORATION !!!
One ruined Mopar never to return
AMEN!!
