1970 brought new front and backside looks to the fundamental 1968 body, and it would turn out to be another achievement.
Overhauls incorporated another grille, a material and vinyl seat, hood, front bumpers, quarter boards, single-cylinder Kelsey-Hayes circle brakes (enhanced from the somewhat little rotor Bendix 4 cylinder calipers of '68 - '69 ), and even non-utilitarian scoops in the back quarters. The outline and usefulness of the Air Grabber choice was changed for the current year to increment both effectiveness and the "intimidation element". A switch beneath the dash incited a vacuum servo to gradually raise the forward-confronting scoop, uncovering shark-like teeth on either side. "High Impact" hues, with names like
In-Violet, Moulin Rouge, and Vitamin C, were choices accessible for that year. The motor lineup was left unaltered in spite of the fact that a substantial obligation three-speed manual turned into the standard transmission, consigning the four-velocity to the alternative rundown alongside the
TorqueFlite programmed. This was to be the second and a year ago of the Road Runner convertible, with just 834 made. These autos are viewed as more profitable than the 1969 form (put something aside for 1970's 440-6 autos versus 1969's A12s) because of a superior dash, high effect hues and more choices including the new high-back pail seats imparted to other Chrysler items which
highlighted fabricated in headrests.
The 440 Six Barrel remained a possibility for 1970.
The
1969 "M"
Code Edelbrock aluminum admission was supplanted by a plant delivered cast iron piece; however there were some early autos assembled preceding January 1, 1970 that were furnished with the left over aluminum Edelbrock consumption from the year earlier.
Offers of the '70 Road Runner dropped by more than 50 percent over the earlier year to around 41,000 units (around 1,000 in front of Pontiac's GTO yet at the same time around 13,000 units behind Chevy's Chevelle SS-396/454).
This would likewise be the latest year of the Road Runner convertible with 834 aggregate creation. Just 3 Hemi (R) code Road Runner convertibles were assembled (in addition to 1 to CANADA). The declining offers of Road Runner and other muscle autos were the consequence of a move by insurance agencies to include additional charges for muscle
auto approaches - making protection premiums for elite vehicles an extremely costly suggestion. Likewise, Plymouth presented another clearance room muscle auto for 1970, the smaller Duster 340 which was fueled by a 275 hp (205 kW) 340 4BBL V8 which in the lighter-weight conservative A-body could execute also if not superior to a 383 Road Runner. Besides, the Duster 340 was estimated even lower than the Road Runner and its littler motor qualified it for much lower protection rates.
