1 of 135 V-Code 440 Six Pack 4-Speed Road Runners produced in 1971.
We understand this car is also 1 of 62 4 speed manuals and also 1 of 1 with a bench front seat.
Possibly the only example in Australia and quite rare on a global stage.
Presenting in Bahama Yellow Butterscotch (1 of 1) with Brown Fabric and Vinyl interior trim.
This example was imported to Australia as presented and we hold a copy of the Australian Government Import Approval and listing on the RAV Entry, # CRE-003380 dated the 9th of November 2021.
Some background to this model.
The year 1971 brought significant change to the American muscle car, with a number of model redesigns appearing. One was the release of the 2-door G-series Chrysler B-bodies, including the Charger/Super Bee and GTX/Road Runner muscle cars.
This body was called the ‘fuselage’ style and featured much smoother, more dramatic edges than previous renderings of the classic Plymouth. This was the direct result of ongoing aerodynamic testing that Chrysler had been involved in, and it proved apt on the NASCAR circuit, where this design took Richard Petty to 21 event crowns and the first-ever Winston Cup title that season.
While the styling change did end production of convertibles, high-compression engines were still available—among them the Hemi, the 340 and the one-of-just-137-built 440 Six Barrel models like this car. Shortened to 6BBL in Plymouth nomenclature, the big engine was rated at 385 HP in 1971, featuring three Holley 2-barrel carburettors atop a semi high-rise intake manifold.
Flow-rated at more than 1,000 CFM, this trio would open based on engine vacuum and simply blur the entire vision of anybody inside the car as it accelerated, coupled to the roar of air being pulled in and screaming rear tyres.
We hold a large folder of photos relating to the restoration of this example prior to import and also a large folder of receipts and paperwork.
