MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1971 Plymouth Road Runner — 2021 GTB42
Blue paint gives the Road Runner a cooler look, with warm-colored striping running down the sides. It makes a useful comparison with the loud yellow flame car without simply repeating its decoration.

Choosing one for your collection
Check the long side stripe for printing wear, especially where the rear quarter curves toward the wheel opening.
Blue can look darker under indoor lighting. A second photo in diffuse daylight helps you judge paint condition without confusing reflections with chips.
