1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Hemi

The 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner is an iconic muscle car that really captures the spirit of the late ’60s American automotive scene. Known for its raw power and straightforward design, it was built for performance and affordability, making it a favorite among enthusiasts. This car was all about delivering maximum thrills for the minimum price, and it succeeded spectacularly. Plymouth made over 75,000 Roadrunners for the 1969 model year, with only 428 of those being equipped with the 426 Hemi and the A833 four-speed transmission like this car. However, this is the only one of those Hemi Roadrunners painted in A4 Silver over Pewter interior making it truly one-of-one. This car retains its numbers matching transmission, correct date-coded engine and is optioned with bucket seats, console, tachometer, and power disc brakes. This car was restored by Restorations by Julius in 2024.
