10 times what I paid for my new one. Hard to find one with a 400 but it shouldn't be driven anyway I suppose. Pretty sure that car is really low on the "need" list these days. Nice that someone kept it that nice, but they get no love. At least mine had a tach, console and was red...

The year... the body style... the emissions-choked engine... the color... all in the "non-desirable" column. Yet, pretty much an all-original super low mileage car. Wonder what something like this would really go for.

I like it. But for $18k. Maybe.

Maybe that's a BIG maybe. Upon reading further, a BB car with AC, no power steering. Egad !

I guess the seller believes best to start high, you can always go lower method.

It has the R21 AM/FM radio... @Charles Cook will want this car even though it's a column shift car.

It's nice to see the trunk decal in original condition - all I have seen have been so faded it was hard to tell what they looked like.

It’s pretty cool but I can’t imagine it worth anything like his ask. I wonder how it ended up without power steering? Factory or salesman error where they forgot to check that box on the form?
Probably explains why only driven 2000 miles.
Highest price I’ve ever seen a late B body go for was in the 30s, and that was at an auction.

There are a number of reasons why this was a one-year failure, and the last of the line. Trying to make a road runner into a 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is one of those reasons.

and then the 1976 model year RR came out.


I'm not even going to post a picture of one.

The RR model was 1968-1975. There was only an option package on the F-body Volare 1976-1980.

I would have pegged it closer to a mid 70's Monte

Volare

While true, I posted what came to my/others minds back in the day when MaMopar restyled the Plymouth b-body, since the Monte was already out for a few years. For a Fury, ok nice theft of a design for a personal luxury car. But not a road runner.

Took Drivers Ed in two 1975 Roadrunners, one white and the other light blue I think. Fun times slaloming and parallel parking in those beasts!
