1969 Plymouth Road Runner Is a Numbers-Matching Hemi Gem, Costs Redeye ‘Last Call’ Money

Plymouth originally based these cars on the Belvedere, and while some people would have described earlier models as rudimentary, they still weren’t lacking in terms of output. Even the standard 383 ci (6.3L) V8 engine had as many as 335 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque.

Of course, if you really wanted to leave other cars in the dust, you could have opted for the 426 ci Hemi V8 (a $714 option) with its twin four-barrel carburetors. It produced 425 hp and a monster 490 lb-ft of torque, getting you to 60 mph in about 5 seconds or so – it was crazy fast by late 60s standards. Heck, it’s fast even by today’s standards, especially with that much pulling power at your disposal.

With that in mind, allow us to show you this gorgeous Ivy Green Metallic 1969 Road Runner coupe, up for grabs to the highest bidder showing 85,000 miles on its 426 ci Hemi V8. It’s a beautiful spec, and based on the ad, not only does it appear to be in mint condition, but it’s numbers-matching too, which explains why it will cost you over $100,000 in order to park this in your driveway.

You could basically decide between this Hemi-powered ‘69 Road Runner and a barely driven 2023 Challenger Hellcat Redeye ‘Last Call’ edition. They both cost about the same on the used car market.

Anyway, let’s go through the specs here, starting with the Air Grabber hood, which gives the vehicle a strong road presence right from the get-go. Then there’s the driver-side mirror, fender-mounted antenna, chrome bumpers, a dual-exit exhaust system, Hemi and Road Runner badging, plus a set of body-color 15” steel wheels with Plymouth Division hubcaps and FR70-15 Firestone Super Sports Wide Oval bias-ply red-line tires.

Meanwhile, interior highlights include the black vinyl front and rear bench seats, and the color-coordinated headliner, door panels and carpeting. We should also mention the presence of a Hurst shifter (featuring a woodgrain knob), the heater, a push-button AM radio, front and rear lap belts, Road Runner-branded floor mats, and a three-spoke steering wheel with a Road Runner “Beep! Beep!” emblem in the middle.

As for that 426 ci Hemi V8, it also comes with a Coyote Duster air-cleaner assembly, while its 425 horses get sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

Overall, this is without a doubt one of the cleanest flagship-spec ‘69 Road Runners we’ve seen as of late. Finding it a new home will not be a problem.
