For Sale: 1974 Plymouth Road Runner in Columbus, Ohio for sale in Columbus, OH
Vehicle Description 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 ? 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.
