1971 Plymouth Road Runner Navigation
The hemispherical combustion chambers of Chrysler's 426 cubic-inch V8 engine for 1971 were rated conservatively at 425 horsepower. The immense power it produced and its physical size earned this potent powerplant the nickname 'Elephant'. The 426 Hemi was initially intended for NASCAR racing, but it wasn't long before a 426 'Street' Hemi arrived on the option sheet to homologate it for stock car racing. It was made available on the Coronet, Challenger, 'Cuda, and the Road Runner.

This particular 1971 Plymouth Road Runner is currently part of the Golden State Muscle Car Collection and is believed to be one of 59 examples of the intermediate Roadrunner with the 426 Hemi. Additionally, it is one of 28 with a four-speed manual.

This 1971 Plymouth Road Runner is finished in black over black, with white C-pillar stripes, small 'Hemi' decals on the front fenders, an 'Air Grabber' intake, and factory-style Rallye wheels. The interior features bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl, a center console, and a four-speed manual with a pistol-grip shifter.

This Road Runner has been given a restoration by Scott Ewing of S&S Mopar Muscle in Southern California.
