Man exploring Canadian island found an abandoned 1970 Plymouth Road Runner buried beneath weeds

This 1970s abandoned Plymouth Road Runner has been found buried beneath years of growth and weeds, but one man has swooped in with a Superman cape and promises of bringing it back to its former glory.

Having once been a force to be reckoned with, Plymouth cars in prime condition are now a rarity.

Unfortunately, many have become at one with nature, with the brand being swallowed by Dodge in the early 2000s and the icons like the Plymouth Road Runner now being over 50 years old.

But there are people out there wanting to bring these classics back, and now one person has found everything they wanted and more buried beneath the weeds of a remote Canadian island.

Abandoned Plymouth Road Runner has spinach stuck in its teeth

Once dominating the roads, each Plymouth car has decades of stories wrapped up and stored in its glove box, such as this pre-WWII deluxe.

This abandoned Plymouth Road Runner is no different, as YouTube creator Earle’s Classic Cars found out.

Spotting it on a property in Canada, the owner of this rusty-brown sedan was found to have passed away, and the family had yet to deal with it, leaving it out in the open for the weeds to take over.

Covered head-to-toe in shrubbery, the green paint that was once decorating this car has flaked off and seeded its own plants growing between the seats.

And as Earle soon found out that it wasn’t your standard Road Runner either.

The abandoned Plymouth Road Runner was actually a 383 four-speed version, powered by a beastly 6.3L V8 engine.

Despite its Groot-looking appearance now, having been warped by half a century of weather, the classic car still looks like it wants another crack at the road, proudly sporting its 383 badge on its chest.

A car ‘worthy’ of a revival

And just like many people before him, Earle now wants to revive it.

“We’ve got to do some research to find out who owns this car and see if we can get it,” he said.

“A 1970 Road Runner four-speed 383 just sitting here, I want this car for myself.

“It’s pretty far gone, but certainly worthy of a revival and restoration. You never know what you might find.”

Restored Plymouth Road Runners are some of the nicest Mopars out there.

If this Canadian car can follow in the footsteps of another compatriot, we could have one of the revivals of the year on our hands.
