Test Drive 1974 Plymouth Road runner SOLD $24,900 Maple Motors

[@williamthot3978]

Growing up in those days was awesome. I'm a Ford guy but MOPAR was still making muscle cars in 1974 while everyone else was bailing out due to fuel embargo of 1973 by OPEC. For that they will forever have my respect.

Yey but can make a situation really bad.. I'm a any car guy.. I had a 3o2 winsor efi 1988 Ford falcon Australia car.. At 145 kms. I stomped her... My last wyfe scree eed.. I love all cars. Eaven. Muma vans..not e.

Someone hopped this one up nicely. Higher stall converter, probably some decent engine mods, a shift kit and geared nice. She pulls nice and strong, you can hear it.

Beep.beep nice road runner and yes we stand for the flag and kneel for he fallen got to fix that horn😀👍👍👍👍👍😀

That 400 is a vastly underrated motor. I had one in a 73 charger. I put on a larger Carburetor and headers but even in those years it pulled strong and had gobs of torque. It was basically a stroked 383. They took the 383 block in 72 and gave it a longer stroke so it’s pretty much the same engine.

[@1967davethewave]

It's actually a bored out 383, The 400 had the largest bore of any Mopar engine, even larger than the 440 but the same stroke as the 383. It is a great motor after not getting much love for most of it's life.

[@vincegedeon6583]

Didn't know they made one I had 360 in my 73 Charger Brougham

[@notjacknicholson2225]

I live in Quebec city (with salt on the roads, cold etc.). A guy in the neighbourhood has had one of these for at least 25 years now. While growing up I kept seeing it on the road here and there from time to time. 5 or 10 years ago other than looking cool it was no big deal but now when I see it I'm thinking to myself wow I can't believe it's still running. I must point out that it looks quite rough and seems to have never been restored, just maintained. That's amazing. Love the smell too when I get to drive nearby, it smells just like my dad's boat when I was a kid. I don't care about those brain cells dying, it's worth it so much. Good luck with the sell.

[@billyrayvalentine7972]

Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s I was in love with the late 1960s roadrunners and especially its little brother the 1970 Darts . But as life rolls on I've grown to like these 1974 to 1976 mopars

[@badcarrera]

Same with me, I never looked twice at these back in the day. But I dig these now!

I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED TO OWN ONE OF THESE 74 WITH A 360... ITS A SCREAMER.... LOVE IT

[@daveowens9849]

Trunk lid emblems are misplaced. Nice to see the dash is complete with the radio correct and not hacked up like some people do. I've owned three of these in my 64 years on this planet, this first one was 1974 when I bought a 73.

[@gregggoss2210]

Sure like them Roadrunners. There was a nice '71 Roadrunner on the cover of Carcraft magazine many years ago, blue paint with a beautiful flame job on the hood and front fenders. Oh man I wish I was young again. Nice car Nick.

I have three road runner in that year model

[@1982MCI]

@@ralphfrazier9952 if you ever get ready to sell one then hit me up. I bought a 74 RR in 1983 when I was in high school. That’s always been my favorite car of all I’ve had over the years. Mom sold it around 1990 when I was away in the Air Force and I’ve not been able to find one at the right time but I will one day before I’m gone!! Lots of great memories in that car for sure!!

[@davegeisler7802]

74 looked nice and a good value being a "smog motor car " , lower compression 440 if it was stock. I like the 74 body , you never saw to many , even new back in the day.

[@HowardJrFord]

I had a 73 back in the 80's with the 400 . i put an edelbrock streetmaster manifold on it and kept the thermoquad . I also put a cheap set of blackjack headers on it with hush thrush mufflers . it sounded great and was a lot if fun for being a smog engine . i would love to find another one .

[@1967davethewave]

There is a Roadrunner that is the identical twin of this car only in really horrible shape setting at a house I pass by everyday on my way to work. I'm told it's for sale for the ridiculous price of $12k. That makes this Roadrunner a real steal! I don't know how you sell them so cheap but good for you and thank you!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you

[@bobsclassiccarsparts8772]

Sounds like the steering box has been over adjusted to compensate for its wear. If left like that it will burn up the worm gear. I have a box in stock for that car. While servicing the steering box it’s a good time to drill & tap a hole in the steering coupler to add a grease fitting. Just be sure to place it where it won’t hit the exhaust. Then you can add grease to the coupler as necessary.

I had 74 Road Runner and I loved it but steering box broke the frame and was floating just like yours and it was totaled when it broke too much ,I always thought it was the air shocks on it for big rear tires ,so better look ,it happens !

[@quentinteague3472]

Dang!! That car does 50mgh in park lol

[@gordonstroup882]

Nick, you said that when you looked under the hood you saw 2 horns. Man, that is so wrong and messed up. A true "Roadrunner" only has ONE horn. And that horn is painted PURPLE and it has a "Roadrunner" decal on it A real Roadrunner horn has that distinctive "Beep" sound and they are really loud. Yup, you hit the horn button twice quickly to get the "BEEP BEEP" that they are famous for. Either the car is a clone, or someone wanted the original horn for themselves and or sold it for big $$ Money! They do produce aftermarket horns, but I can hear a difference in them. Maybe it's just me.
