1974 Plymouth Road Runner GTX| Cruisin Classics

Cruisin Classics has a rare treat for our Mopar friends in the form of a 1974 Plymouth Roadrunner GTX. Only 386 of these were built and very few with the Wimbledon interior that is found in this one. The Roadrunner was built between 1968 and 1980. Plymouth developed the Roadrunner to be able to offer a lower priced, basic trim model versus the upscale more expensive GTX that was known as the “Gentlemen’s muscle car” It is said that Plymouth paid Warner Brothers $50,000 to use the name and likeness of the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote cartoon characters. All of the 386 Roadrunner GTX 440ci built in 1974 were mated to a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, manual transmissions were not offered. There has been a long time debate as to what exactly the letters GTX stand for, many believe that technically they don’t mean anything while others believe they stand for Grand Touring Extra and finally those who believe GT does stand for Grand Touring but the X means nothing. There does seem to be a general consensus that whatever GTX stands for that it was developed by the Plymouth marketing department to compete with the very popular and fast selling GTO. This particular GTX is a nicely optioned car with power disc brakes, power steering, rear defrost, remote mirror, tinted glass, factory tach, factory gauges, functioning factory air conditioning and last but certainly not least is the very rare highly sought after Wimbledon plaid interior. We have a photo catalog of the rotisserie restoration of this car, it was at this point it experienced a color change from its original code JA5 Dark silver metallic to its current finish of code FE5 Rallye red. It was at this same point that the original red stripes were changed to the white stripes found on the car today. The brilliant red paint with white stripes and the red white and black Wimbledon interior make for a very stunning combination. The power is provided by a 1974 440ci (NOM) engine with Edelbrock E-Street fuel injection mated to the numbers matching 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission with an 8 ¾ Chrysler posi rear end with 3.23 gears. This is an absolutely stunning, extremely rare Roadrunner that is guaranteed to be the center of attention anywhere it goes. If you have been looking for something unique that is sure to appreciate in value you owe it to yourself to consider this beautiful Mopar.

First car I ever owned was a black 1974 Roadrunner. Black interior, bucket seats, center console shifter. It was drop dead gorgeous. Only had a 318 motor, wasn't fast but looked like it could run 150 mph. Wish oh wish I still had it.

So rare they don't make any body panels for them. So rare you you can't drive them in fear of getting totalled and irreplaceable. I would've kept mine if parts were reproduced.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I like this body style!

[@gearhead9943]

You’re the only classic car company that does cold starts. I appreciate that so much. Please never stop and always show us what you do with the gas pedals to get them started. It’s so fun to watch!

I miss the one I had

[@KetchLambier]

The 74 440 made like 150 hp. I still want one though.

[@Curtis75156]

280 hp, which is still really sad.

So is it a GTX or a Road Runner?

[@earlyetman5588]

It was a GTX road runner. GTX option was available only on a road runner from 1972-1974. My uncle had a 1974. 1971 was the last year of a GTX as a standalone model!

@@earlyetman5588 I'm 61 years old. Always loved mopars. I had two Challengers and a road runner. I always think I know everything about them, and then I learn something new. Thanks for the 411

I think it's looks nice but I like the '71-72 a lot more.

[@ohguy1991]

The front end after the '72 on these are hideous, as are those goofy bumper guards

[@brianeastman3547]

How much are you selling it for

[@old_school_guy]

Is it numbers matching, no. Is it factory color, no. Did the factory have finned valve covers, no. Did they come with fuel injection, no. Stop selling crap as an original classic.

[@tonyrhoton6613]

Ugly o thing

[@earlyetman5588]

Thank Big Government for that garbage!
