A 1971 Plymouth Road Runner's value varies dramatically based on condition, originality, and drivetrain. Here's the breakdown from our market data:

**Value Tiers:**
- **Project cars** (like the one we're discussing at $19,500): $11,000 – $27,000
  - This specific car at $19,500 is fairly priced for a complete roller needing drivetrain
- **Original/driver-quality**: $40,000 – $70,000
  - Recent comps range from $40k (original) to $70k (well-original)
- **Restored/numbers-matching**: $75,000+
