Loaded down 1970 Road Runner

Doug Williams sent us these photos of his gorgeous and loaded down 1970 Road Runner. While we’ll admit we are a bit partial to the ’70 models, and our own Randy Holden has owned four of the things through the years, this is definitely one to write home about. This is among the most heavily optioned ’70 Road Runners we’ve seen, and it has the fender tag and broadcast sheet to back it up. A California car most of its life, when restored twenty-seven-years ago, there was no rust to speak of, but it received the full ground-up treatment anyway. While it is a 383 car, somebody wanted this one to look and drive fantastic. The Hemi Orange paint with the white vinyl top and a white bucket seat interior is a dynamite combo, but add the hood blackout stripe, factory Dust Trail side stripes, and a factory spoiler on the deck, and you really create a visual knockout. It’s got factory hood pins, a/c, cruise control, power disc brakes, power steering, electric windows, and dual rearview mirrors on the doors. We’re quite certain it would’ve had an Air Grabber hood, but, you couldn’t get that with air conditioning. It came with 14” Road Wheels from the factory, but Doug’s replaced those with more showy 15” Magnum 500s, so the wheelhouses are more filled up and there’s a little more bling where the rubber meets the road. While she’s a beauty, Doug regularly drives this one and it’s a frequent flier at local parking lot shows and some of the bigger Mopar events. For a restoration that old, this is one beeping Plymouth that is aging very gracefully! Thanks to Doug for sending in the photos and info!
