And I thought that the Pontiac GTO “The Judge” from back in April was in rough shape. Looking at that car now, it looks like it’s ready for Pebble Beach compared to this 1970 Plymouth Road Runner. This baby is listed on eBay with a current bid of just over $1,500. It’s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where you’ll have to contract with several steel mills to make sure that you have enough rolling stock to finish this project.

I keep seeing the General Lee in this car, and it looks like it’s even jumping another car in one of the photos.. or tried to jump one. It appears to be some other unusual paint / graphic scheme that’s ghosted in the paint. Or, what’s left of the paint. Is this, or could this even be a Superbird? Inquiring minds want to know. What are your thoughts just on what you see here so far? The seller says that it was originally an “EV2 Hemi Orange 440-6 Pack car, Super Trac Pac 4.10 Dana”, but they also mention Superbird in the listing. Is that a bait and switch sort of thing to draw viewers? Sort of like if I were to say, “Winning Powerball Numbers Here”? And, just for the record, if I won I’d share it with everyone here..

GAAA! From the last two photos I bet that you thought there was a slight chance of restoring this car. How about now? I don’t feel so bad about a couple of my cars now after seeing this hunk-o-.. somethin’. The first-generation Road Runner is the one to have, there is just no question about that; from 1968 to 1970. 1970 was the last year for the first-gen cars and it was also the year when buyers could check a few boxes and order a Superbird version of the Road Runner. The seller sort of takes a swing and a miss at the VIN because supposedly all of the numbers are missing. That’s never a good sign. Read the question and answer on the bottom of the eBay link for some info on that.

This is the closest thing that I could see as far as an interior photo goes, other than this one showing what I’m assuming is, was, or used to be the floors? In more of a Craigslist tradition of either not providing enough photos or providing horrible photos, this auction has plenty of both, if that makes sense. Not enough photos and what photos are there aren’t the best. But, hey, they already have $1,500 bid on this car and I wouldn’t take it if they gave it to me, shipped it for free, and then gave me $1,500 in cash. Someone sees value in this car and all kidding aside, there have to be quite a few parts and pieces on this rusty shell that make it worth it for the 8 or 9 bidders who have gone after this Road Runner so far.

Like interior photos, there isn’t one photo of the engine area. You didn’t expect to see an engine in here, I hope? There should be a 440 V8 with a 6-pack (three 2-barrel carburetors) under this crushed, rusty hood – one of three engines available for the 1970 Plymouth Superbird. The other two would be the 440 single 4-barrel, and the one that everyone wants and only 135 people ordered: the 426 Hemi. But, is this a Superbird? It must have lost all of its goodies (wing, nose cone, etc) if it is one, but I doubt it. It’s most likely just a good way to get people to view your auction. But, just give me a 1970 Road Runner with a 440 6-pack, I don’t need a Superbird!
