Lot 203: 1974 Plymouth Road Runner Hemi Hardtop

Sold for $196,000
Chassis no. RM23R1R114725. Black with white C-pillar stripes over black vinyl. Older restoration, #3 condition.
Equipment: 426 Hemi V-8, 4-speed with pistol grip shifter, air grabber scoop, power steering and brakes, Rallye wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, bucket seats, AM/FM radio, from the Golden State muscle car collection.
Condition: The paint is very dull and swirled. There are noticeable chips on the back edge of both B-pillars. The bumpers are shiny. The engine compartment is detailed and presents very well. The underbody is restored and shows little deterioration. The interior is aged and shows some wear. A moderately scruffy example of a final year Hemi Road Runner.
Bottom line: The 1971 model year was the last for the Hemi. It was also the first of a full redesign of the Belvedere/Satellite/Road Runner series, employing the handsome fuselage theme with loop-shaped front bumper and high trunk. Hemis naturally sit at the top of the heap, and 4-speeds command a decent premium. This one sold about right for its equipment and condition.
