"Sassy Runner"

Plymouth built the Road Runner as a no frills muscle car, licensing the famous Warner Bros. cartoon character and even a signature ”beep beep” horn, and 1971 brought the first complete redesign with a sculpted, fuselage style body. This example is a Florida car with its original drivetrain, wearing one of Chrysler’s wildest High Impact colors and powered by the 340ci V8, one of the most respected small block engines of the muscle car era.

Finished in a head turning Sassy Grass Green, this Road Runner is every bit as loud to look at as the color name suggests. A black hood decal adds a bold, aggressive contrast to the green paint and highlights the car’s performance intentions. It rides on 15 inch Kruger chrome wheels that bring a bright, classic finishing touch and give the Road Runner a confident, planted stance. It’s the kind of exterior that gets noticed in a parking lot full of classics.

Power comes from the original 318ci V8 with a 4 barrel carburetor, an engine known for its eagerness to rev and its strong, punchy performance. It’s paired with a 3 speed automatic transmission, and with the original drivetrain still in place, this Road Runner offers an authentic look at how these cars were built and driven when new. Having spent its life in Florida adds to the appeal for buyers who want a genuine, well preserved example of Mopar muscle.

Inside, black vinyl seating keeps the cabin clean, period correct, and easy to live with, providing a sharp contrast to the bright green exterior. An Autogauge RPM gauge has been added to keep an eye on the engine, a practical upgrade for a car with a high revving 340 under the hood. The overall interior layout stays true to the Road Runner’s straightforward, driver focused personality.

This 1971 Road Runner is a standout for Mopar fans, combining an unforgettable Sassy Grass Green paint color, an original 340 V8 drivetrain, and the classic Road Runner attitude that made this model a legend.
