MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

1971 Plymouth Road Runner — 2012 V5294

The magenta debut lets the Road Runner’s shape do most of the talking. A broad black hood stripe and a band across the rear of the roof stand out against the bright paint.

What to look for

V5294 is the 2012 New Models release, numbered 006/247. The reference shows a loose example, so its small signs of handling should not be mistaken for factory decoration.

Choosing one for your collection

Check the black hood stripe for rubbed edges and examine the windshield for scratches. The photograph is useful for identity, not a promise that every example has the same condition.

Ask for a side view as well as an overhead view when buying loose; the roof photo alone cannot show both axles clearly.

Collector questions

What identifies the magenta debut?
