1970 Plymouth Road Runner 383

This is a true 1970 Road Runner RM23 car. It is a 383cid, 4bbl, 4 speed with factory pistol-grip shifter. The engine is not the original but is date coded 1970. The transmission is numbers matching. The car was originally Burnt Orange with a Burnt Orange interior. I did minor body work and painted the car metallic burnt orange with a copper-pearl midcoat. The hood stripe and other accents are part of the basecoat. This was a quality paint job starting with epoxy primer over bare metal. The paint looks new and has a mirror finish. However, it is far from a perfect paint job. It has a few minor chips and scuffs and some color discontinuity here and there but still looks pretty awesome, even close up. The car has a new windshield and some of the chrome trim pieces on the grille were replaced with new ones. I just installed new Cooper Cobra RWL radial tires. The front brakes are also new. I replaced the entire fuel system including the gas tank, sender, fuel pump, and carburetor. The engine runs great and was otherwise left untouched. The seats and dash pad are in great condition. I put in new carpet and door panels. I also replaced the headrests with nicer ones, which have been dyed to match the interior.
