1978 Plymouth Road Runner

1978 Plymouth Road Runner – Rare Numbers-Matching Example with Optional Super Pak
360 CUI V8 · A999 3-Speed Automatic · Restored Exterior & Interior · Private Collection

Pedal to the Metal Muscle Cars proudly presents this 1978 Plymouth Road Runner, a rare, low-production, numbers-matching example from the personal collection of our owner. With fewer than 1,357 produced that year and only 617 equipped with the optional Super Pak, this car is an exceptional example of late-Seventies American muscle. Featuring a refreshed exterior, restored interior, and original drivetrain, it represents the perfect blend of rarity, style, and performance.

The Legend of the Plymouth Road Runner
The Plymouth Road Runner has long been celebrated for its no-nonsense performance, bold styling, and raw muscle. The 1978 model is particularly rare, especially with the Super Pak option, which includes a six-piece wheel-opening flare kit, front and rear spoilers, and quarter-window louvers. With the optional 360-cubic-inch engine, this car delivers authentic late-Seventies muscle car performance while remaining highly collectible.

The Car
This Plymouth Road Runner is a numbers-matching 360-cubic-inch V8, featuring fewer than 45,000 original miles. It has been beautifully restored with:
  • New exterior paint and Super Pak graphics
  • Refreshed interior including red vinyl bucket seats, carpet, and NOS materials
  • Original Rallye wheels restored and fitted with fresh tires
Every detail has been addressed to preserve its authenticity while enhancing drivability.

Engine & Drivetrain
  • Original 360-cubic-inch two-barrel V8 engine, unrestored
  • Remanufactured Holley two-barrel carburetor
  • Upgrades: new water pump, fuel pump, mini-starter, power steering pump
  • Factory Lean Burn System replaced with vacuum advance distributor
  • Full tune-up, new valve cover gaskets, Mopar blue paint
  • A999 three-speed automatic transmission
  • 8-1/4-inch rear axle with Sure Grip differential, 3.21 gears
The engine runs smoothly, delivers strong torque, and maintains the original numbers-matching authenticity.

  • Repainted November 2020 in single-stage acrylic enamel
  • Professional sanding and buffing, near-perfect 9/10 finish

  • Original glass retained (minor scratch on driver’s door)
  • NOS taillight lenses, side marker lights, and trim moldings fitted
This car has a striking, authentic late-Seventies appearance with the rare Super Pak touches.

Interior
  • Red vinyl bucket seats restored with NOS materials
  • Rear seat original and untouched
  • Headliner restored in correct NOS red fabric
  • Dashboard and trim repainted; plastic components dyed to match original red

The interior preserves the classic character while offering refreshed materials for a clean, polished look.
