Old Cars We’d Buy That: 1969 Plymouth Road Runner convertible

VanDerBrink Auctions will be auctioning off a crazy collection of cars when it liquidates the Soneff's Master Garage Collection this Saturday (June 10). The collection features dozens of coveted MoPar project cars that will certainly have restorers drooling. The sheer number of incomplete and partially restored cars is staggering.

For this week's "We'd Buy That!" we're going to opt for one of the Soneff Collection cars that doesn't appear to need any work. This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner convertible is quite a prize! According to the listing, this rare droptop has "undergone a 3 year restoration from top to bottom. It runs and drives beautifully and what an investment car and fun to drive. The car is B3 blue metallic in color with white vinyl top and boot. it has Rally Stripes. Rally Rims. The car is powered by a numbers-matching drivetrain and is a 383 V8 with automatic transmission. There are 67,851 miles showing on the odometer. It has dual exhaust. The interior is white vinyl bucket seats with blue carpet. Headrest option on the seats. Power steering and 8 track tape with AM radio, manual windows and locks."

Only 2,128 Roadrunner convertibles were built in '69. This one has been restored to a high level and is a numbers-matching car. There's something gnarly and unrefined about Roadrunners that just makes them eternally cool. For some top-down fun on a summer day, this muscle machine would be hard to beat!
