Not sure when Sandra Bullock’s ex-husband/West Coast Choppers guy Jesse James got this Road Runner or whether he ever did anything with it, but it is kind of cool, in a junky, funky retro drag-car kinda way. Claimed to have once been a “ten second car,” though “stoner’s dream car” seems like a more accurate description. Wonder what it will go for? eBay ad text plus tons of pics after the jump!
One of just 29 automatic Hemi Road Runners produced in 1971. This was originally gold bench seat interior. Column shift automatic. Found in a garage in Pennsylvania–I guess the buyer had known about it since the 80s and the owners finally agreed to sell (though no price was disclosed). Tons more pics after the jump!

Hey, it’s our first F-body! Category added! Writes Franklin:
I am the proud original owner of this 1976 Road Runner. I call her “Superchicken.” I bought her new in 1976 at Sellers Chrysler Plymouth, in Maryland. Right off the showroom floor. It has the roadrunner package w/ Super Pak, in Spitfire Orange. She has a 318 V-8 (5.3 L), 727 Torqueflite automatic w/ Slap stick on the floor, and she cost a Grand Total of $4,700.00. Superchicken is ALL original, motor, drivetrain, interior, paint, rallye wheels, bumpers, and body, and it has 93,500 Original miles. It is a daily driver, Not A Trailer Queen, and has been in the rain, snow, and sunshine for 37 years. I am attaching photographs that were taken last year, so you can show it as a daily driver. I also belong to a group called, Aspen/Volare Forum, for all F-Body lovers, Check it out, Thank you.
Thanks Franklin! More pics after the jump!
There’s still a little summer left, right? And what better way to enjoy the last days of summer than in a ’69 Road Runner convertible? Beautiful Jamaica Blue with a 4 speed and a bench seat white interior! 8 track! This thing looks like a great driver. And I want it. Bad. More pics plus eBay auction text after the jump!
Mark’s Road Runner has a lift off hood due to the high rise intake. You might notice he also has a 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and a Hemi Durango. Nice combo!
MSN recently published Muscle Cars: 20 That Made History and I counted seven Mopars on their list: 1956 Chrysler 300B, 1968 Plymouth Road Runner, 1968 Dodge Charger, 1970 AMC Rebel Machine, 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, 1970 Plymouth Superbird, 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8. Hmmm, I could probably think of a few more, like the 1968 Hemi Dart, but it’s not a bad start. What do you think?
I think I need a camera with a wider lens. And more skill. But anyway, check out two videos after the jump–one quick tour of the show, and one short video of the beautiful 4-speed Hemi Road Runner! And if you missed the pics yesterday, you can see them here.
Here’s another burly Mopar from Sweden. Christian purchased the yellow B-body off eBay back in 2010 and had it shipped across the Atlantic from Florida. It’s powered by a 440 with forged pistons, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads, Weiand Tunnel Ram Intake and Holley 600 carbs. It has a Coolit radiator with dual fans, ceramic coated headers and 3″ Flowmaster exhaust. It’s got a 727 transmission with a 3000 stall converter. It’s been tubed in the rear and has a full roll cage. Lots more pics after the jump!

It’s getting harder and harder to find cars like this that have not been fully restored. And you usually don’t see them doing huge smokey burnouts in eBay ads! This original California 4-speed 1970 Plymouth Road Runner has been sitting in storage since 1990. It’s rough, needs a trunk floor and quarter patches, but damn it’s cool! More pics plus the eBay auction text after the jump. Seller wants $38,000 for it. Worth it? Oh, and the questions and answers at the bottom are hilarious.
Ford was the featured manufacturer at this year’s York US 30 Reunion, but that didn’t stop a few Mopars from crashing the party. I have a few more B-bodies plus a very cool Sox and Martin Barracuda after the jump, but be sure to check out the full story and gallery over at BangShift.
