Plymouth Road Runner Rapid Transit
The Rapid Transit System offered performance parts, decals, and how-to guides for Plymouth owners to assist them in making their cars as quick as possible. Performance parts included hot cams, performance headers, carburettors, special wheels, and a range of other parts.Information packs were available to teach Plymouth owners how to tune, modify, and set up their cars for the best straight line speed and cornering ability. It’s difficult to imagine the legal ramifications of automakers offering upgrades like this nowadays for owners to install themselves at home, but the 1970s was a far less regulated environment (for better or worse)
The car you see here was widely considered to be the highlight of the 1971 show cars. It was built by Chuck Miller of Styline Custom for Chrysler in 1970 and it’s characterized by its one-off body modifications including a unique front end that extended the car by 6 inches, twin hood scoops, and a tail with an unusual integrated spoiler.
Quad headlights are situated behind a steel grille with integrated headlight covers, and there are 3D vacuum-formed translucent custom Road Runner heads on each corner of the car, which led to the nickname “The Chicken Head Car”.Under the hood you’ll find a 383 cu. in. V8 with a dual-snorkel air cleaner backed by an automatic transmission. In Road Runner specification this V8 had a 4.25 inch bore, a 3.38 inch stroke, 335 hp at 5,200 rpm, 425 ft lbs of torque 3,400 rpm, a 9.5:1 compression ratio, and a Holley 4-barrel carburettor.The styling of the Road Runner Rapid Transit including its fantastic new bodywork, unusual wheels, and its unique livery has ensured that it’d stayed a favourite with muscle car enthusiasts for decades.

Plymouth Road Runner
The Plymouth Road Runner is a mid-size car with a focus on performance built by Plymouth in the United States between 1968 and 1980. By 1968, some of the original muscle cars were moving away from their roots as relatively cheap, fast cars as they gained features and increased in price. Plymouth developed the Road Runner to market a lower-priced, basic trim model to its upscale GTX.
