The Road Runner was the working man's affordable muscle car. The GTX was the gentleman's upper scale muscle car. They came with at least a 440 motor, bucket seats with a console, woodgrain trim and more. This one is an excellent example having great fit and finish. It runs strong, ready for show and go.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year membership.
