1970 Plymouth Roadrunner joins the Challenger
Posted: 25 Aug 2013 22:17About 6 weeks ago I bought this 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner from North London. Saw it, bought it and drove it all the way back to Bristol. Amazing drive across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds and home.
Originally a 383 its had a 440 fitted with the auto transmission using B&M reverse manual valve body. Apart from it shredding the old fanbelt before we even got on the road and the brakes violently pulling to the right its a hoot to drive.... Needs a little bodywork & rust eradication in due course, but I love it... Posted some pics on another forum and got a reply from Jim Wilson (mopar euronats founder) who imported it in 1981
Here it is way back in 1981 when it was first imported by Jim
