It’s Pink and it’s a Road Runner!
In 1970 Plymouth division
was doing everything right.
With the introduction of the all new Hemicuda, the redesign of the
Road Runner with a special SuperBird model for the King,
Plymouth division was firing on all 8 cylinders.
Well into production of the 1970 Model's, Chrysler decided to offer
two new High Impact colors for the spring of 1970, one of those outrageous
colors was coded as FM3. It was called Panther Pink if you applied the
color
to a Dodge model and Moulin Rouge if applied to a Plymouth.
The Color was not a subtle shade
of pink but instead a bright deep color that looked amazing when applied
to the curvy B-Body Plymouths.
This 1970 Road Runner is
one of only 44 ever produced in FM3 Moulin Rouge.
This Road Runner was equipped with a N0G: 383 335HP 1-4BBL Mill.
