Lot 5997: 1969 Plymouth Road Runner

A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner’s value depends heavily on condition, originality, and options. Based on Classic.com’s market data for first-generation standard variants, here’s what you can expect:

Current Market Overview:

• Average sale price: $68,751
• Price range: $15,500 – $379,500
• Most recent sale: $51,000
• 54 currently for sale in this market segment

Value Breakdown by Condition:

• High-end/restored examples with numbers-matching drivetrains are selling $75K–$130K+ (with some reaching $379K+ for pristine Hemi cars)

• Driver-quality cars like this one typically trade between $40,000–$80,000 depending on options and needs

• Project cars needing restoration can start around $15,000–$25,000

About this specific $29,900 example: This sits at the lower end of the market and seems fairly priced. Here’s why:

• ✅ Desirable options: 4-speed manual, N96 Air Grabber hood, bucket seats/console, tachometer, 3.91 Sure-Grip rear—these add value
• ✅ Solid body: New Mexico car with original VIN stamps, fender tag, and broadcast sheet intact
• ⚠️ Non-matching engine (400 vs. original 383) hurts collector value
• ⚠️ Needs work—described as a “ratty driver” needing more love or restoration

For comparison, recent sales of similar modified/driver-quality ‘69 Road Runners include:

• $40,250 (high-mileage driver, Bring a Trailer)
• $56,100 (Mecum Glendale)
• $66,000 (Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale)
• $72,600 (Mecum Dallas)

So at $29,900, this is a solid entry point for someone wanting an Air Grabber coupe with the right bones to either enjoy as-is or restore properly. A matching-numbers car would command significantly more.
