Most Baby Boomers remember back in the day that the "rich kids" owned the new Chevelles, Mustangs, GTX's, etc. , and everyone else was transplanting small blocks into Tri Five Chevies. The young segment of America needed an inexpensive mainstream model with an inexpensive special engine. Chrysler executives realized this, and began designing big engine, low frill unibody performance cars.
The Road Runner is recognized by many automotive experts as perhaps the second most significant Muscle Car in history, next to the GTO. This amazing machine almost single handedly shifted the market back to the most bang for the buck roots of the movement. The success of the Road Runner would quickly surpass that of the more expensive GTX. Plymouth corporate sales estimate for 1968 was 2,500. Actual sales of the hardtops and pillar coupes was approximately 45,000. In 1969, this number increased to a whopping 82,292 units. Indeed they had hit the mark! The automotive industry praised the simplicity of the concept.
In 1976 the Road Runner name was switched to the 2-door model of the replacement for the Valiant series. This car, based on the new F platform, would be known as "Volaré". The new Road Runner was primarily a trim and graphics package; however, many suspension parts were borrowed from the police packages. A 360 CID engine was offered as an option (but only with a two barrel carb for 1976-'77 and single exhaust) to the standard 318 V8, but only paired with the 3-speed automatic transmission.
The Super Pak option consisted of Road Runner tape stripe, front air spoiler, wheel opening flares, quarter window louvers, and rear spoiler. In the era of gas sipping, puny compact cars, the Road Runner was still able to provide some punch and also an aggressive look for the younger crowd.
The body has been refinished in Spitfire Orange. Paint would be classified as high driver quality, not a $15,000 show finish. Finish has been buffed to a high gloss. Blacked out hood, rear valance, lower body, quarter louvers, and spoiler. T/A dual snorkel hood scoop. Blacked out sport grille. Chrome and brightwork in very good shape. Glass is also in very good condition. Single chrome sport mirror, remote. Magnum Road Wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/a tires, P245/60R14.
The heart of this hot rod is a 340 Cu. In. engine. X heads. Edelbrock Competition Series four barrel carburetor mounted atop an aluminum intake manifold. HEI ignition. Eight MM silicone wires. Hydraulic roller cam and valve train. Mopar Performance finned valve covers. Power steering and brakes. Dual Flowmaster exhaust.
Torque Flite automatic transmission. 8.25" rear differential with 4.10 gears.
Factory black vinyl bucket seat interior. Door panels in very good condition. Carpet also in very good shape. Rear seat looks very good. Front bucket seat covers have wear and could use a recover. The small padded dash pad also shows wear. Factory steering wheel in excellent shape. Dash gauges in good condition. Factory console, just needs the small lock cylinder. AM/FM/CD. All seals and weatherstripping in good condition.
Trunk is clean and solid. Undercarriage is in natural condition. However, it is clean and solid.
If you have been searching for an affordable Mopar muscle car, you can't beat this deal. You can own this clean, fast Road Runner for a fraction of the cost of most muscle cars.

1966 B- FORD MUSTERO |
|
|
Every Classic Car enthusiast is familiar with the history of the Ford Mustang. It began back in 1961, with a vision by Ford boss Lee Iococca and product planner Donald Frey of a performance car that would seat four people, have bucket seats and a floor shifter, not exceed 180 inches in length, weigh less than 2500 pounds, and sell for less than $2,500. This was in response to the invasion of the European sports cars, most notably the British models. The target market was the Baby Boomer generation, which were just entering the car market.
The first prototype was a two seater that was considered too futuristic for mass appeal. In 1963, the second prototype, the Mustang II was produced, radically different from the first and beginning to resemble the production model. In an effort to keep production costs down, many main components were borrowed from the Falcon. This use of common components would shorten the learning curve on the assembly line and at dealer service centers, and keep spare parts inventories low. The design was under the direction of Project Design Chief Joe Oros and his team.
The first day of scheduled production was March 9, 1964. Iococca and his marketing team devised an ingenious marketing campaign. The evening of April 16, a sixty second commercial was launched on all three major television networks, enticing the public to flock to the dealer showrooms on April 17, the first day of availability. In addition, the Mustang was simultaneously introduced at an exhibit at the New York World's Fair. As a bonus, Iococca secured duty as pace car for the Indianapolis 500 to the list of Mustang marketing venues. Iococca realized that the success of the Mustang depended on volume sales, and mass marketing translated into volume sales.
Of course, the Mustang launch was an overwhelming success. The first day of sales, 22,000 units were sold. 400,000 were sold in the first twelve months, and over a million were sold in the first two years. Now in the 47th year, production has surpassed nine million units, and is soaring towards ten million. The Mustang is the third oldest nameplate in Ford history, surpassed only by the F Series truck and the Falcon (Which is still produced in Australia).
The success of the Mustang led to the development of many hybrid models, created by both Ford and outsourced companies in conjunction with Ford. Possibly the rarest of these hybrids was the Mustero, the fusion of a Mustang and a Ranchero. In 1965/1966, Ford authorized Beverly Hills Mustang LTD., in California, to produce approximately 50 of these mini Mustang pickups. Many of these were exported to Europe, where they still exist today. The following link from the public domain of the internet is a great informational only site concerning European owners of the Musteros and other hybrids- LINK
Beverly Hills Mustang was authorized to alter body parts, engines, transmissions, exhaust, etc. in the creation of these vehicles.
The conversion cost added approximately $6,500 to the vehicle price, making the Mustero as expensive as the Shelby Cobra at the time. The conversion began with the removal of the rear seat and roof section just forward of the rear seat. The rear window section was reattached to the roofline. Custom made lexan windows were installed in the doors, due to the altered roof line. After final bodywork, the vehicles were refinished in factory colors. Final interior and mechanical alterations were then performed. The end result was one of the most rare and unique Mustang derivatives ever created.
