The PLymouth Road Runner of 1970 :

The 1970 Road Runners were targeted at the youth market than the GTX, namely sixteen-to twenty-four-year-olds. The engines choice was the 383 V8 with the 440 heads or the 440 with the three two barrels.

The Hemi now used a hydraulic cam so that owners were relieved from constantly adjusting the valves. Those that wanted the Hemi knew it was available.

Changes to the Plymouth B-bodys included a revamped nose with a B-shaped grille. The Road Runner used multiple thin, vertical blades.

For the first time, the Road Runner wore the Plymouth name on the left-hand side of the grille.

The standard hood was one of the best-Iooking hoods to be placed on the second-generation B-bodys.

It featured rear-facing, raised domecenter section that looked similar to the cowl induction hood used on the Chevelle and Camaro, but it was non- functional.

Cars with the 440 six-packs used decals that read "440+6," This engine and the Hemi were available on the Road Runner as optional equipment. Standard power on the Road Runner was still the 383ci 335hp V -8.

The Air Grabber option continued

The Road Runner's cartoon decal was moved from the door to the forward section of the front fenders; it was the same decal, only a different location. A gold reflective tape stripe called a "dust trail" was optional and placed just above the beltline.

A performance hood option was available for alI Road Runner models except the Super Bird.

The option consisted of a flat, black, wide center stripe placed over the center dome and flanked by two smaller outline stripes.
