Meet “Agent Orange,” the Plymouth Road Runner that went from burning rubber on Detroit’s drag strips to cruising the streets with a 700HP makeover.

A 440 Six Pack engine built by a NASCAR-savvy pal from North Carolina. It’s the car that proves even legends need a little street cred. Just don’t ask it to go grocery shopping—it might wheelie off with your groceries!

The ’74 Plymouth Road Runner marks the final chapter of the second generation, revving up nostalgia with engine choices from the modest 318 small block to the mighty 440 CID big block.

Legend has it, one rare bird came with a 318 block and a manual transmission, flaunting a Hurst shifter. This year, the 440s were strictly automatic—guess they needed a breather after all that horsepower!
