Road Runner sales increased significantly in 1969, with a convertible finally joining the lineup, albeit only 2,128 units were sold in its first year on the market. The hardtop remained the number one model with 48,549 units, while the coupe was the runner-up with 33,743 units.
The new Road Runner continued to be available with a 383 engine as standard. It developed 335 horsepower with a four-speed transmission. However, Plymouth also offered multiple more potent mills, including the almighty Hemi, that could be had for an extra $4,362.
The Road Runner in these pics has the 383 under the hood, but as you can tell from the pics, it starts and runs properly. The engine is paired with the standard four-speed manual transmission.
The car flexes a desirable triple-black configuration and comes with several options, including the red stripe on the performance hood paint, a deluxe steering wheel, bright exhaust outlets, rear armrests, and vinyl trim.
I know what you're thinking: this Road Runner looks fabulous, but is the car still in the factory configuration? The people at Classic Cars of Sarasota don't mention anything about a previous restoration, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to determine that the car has already been refreshed. It looks spotless, and even the undersides are clean.
They don't exhibit any rust, so whoever worked on this Road Runner did a fantastic job. It's unclear how much of this Road Runner is still original, and this is another question that you should ask before committing to a purchase. The engine has likely been rebuilt, which explains the 14K miles on the clock.
The vehicle sells with several original documents, including two broadcast sheets, the original window sticker, the owner's manual, the original bill of sale, and the original brochure. The garage says several maintenance records are also available and go with the car, albeit I'd be more interested to see more information on the restoration.
The biggest shortcoming is the selling. While this Road Runner looks fantastic and checks all the big boxes for a spotless 1969 example, it won't sell cheaply, with the garage hoping they could get $76,500. They also enabled the Make Offer button, so if you're interested in the car, you should contact them to discuss all the details
The car needs nothing, and based on its condition, you can just hop in and drive. It should be ready to take you anywhere, so you won't need transportation if you don't take it to another state. The Road Runner sleeps in Sarasota, Florida, and the garage says it also offers some financing options, as long as you can convince your significant other that a Road Runner is exactly what you need to park in your garage.
