1971 Plymouth Road Runner History The Plymouth Road Runner was a performance car built by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation in the United States between 1968 and 1980. In 1968 the first muscle cars were in the opinion of many moving away from their roots as relatively cheap fast cars as they gained options. Although Plymouth already had a performance car in the GTX designers decided to go back to the drawing board and reincarnate the original muscle car concept. In 1971 the coupe bodywork was completely changed to a more rounded "fuselage" design in keeping with then-current Chrysler styling trends including a steeply raked windshield hidden cowl and deeply inset grille and headlights. In a departure from previous thinking the B-Body two-door bodies shared little if any sheet metal glass or trim with the four-door bodies. The convertible was canceled. 1971 was a high-water year for ride and handling for the Road Runner. VIN RM23H1G139713 Recent ground up restoration!
