1970 Plymouth Road Runner Apparel and Accessories by Legend Lines

The 1970 model year brought new front and rear end looks to the basic 1968 body, and it would prove to be another success. The design and functionality of the Air Grabber option was changed. A switch below the dash actuated a vacuum servo to slowly raise the forward-facing scoop, exposing shark-like teeth on either side. "High Impact" colors, with names like In-Violet, Moulin Rouge, and Vitamin C, were options available for that year. This was to be the second and last year of the Road Runner convertible, with only 834 made. The new high-back bucket seats shared with other Chrysler products which featured built-in headrests. Sales of the 1970 Road Runner dropped by more than 50 percent over the previous year to around 41,000 units. The declining sales of Road Runner and other muscle cars were the result of a move by insurance companies to add surcharges for muscle car policies - making insurance premiums for high-performance vehicles a very expensive proposition
