Barrett-Jackson OC ’10: 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner “Hammer” has fame, nets fortune
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Auctions, Chrysler, Dodge, Celebrities, Specialty
This big-block ’70 Plymouth Roadrunner was at SEMA last year, but many readers may better remember it from its appearance as a feature car in Hot Rod magazine, a spot on the television show RIDES, and its big-screen debut in The Fast and the Furious franchise. Vin Diesel’s character, Dom Toretto, showed up in the closing minutes of Tokyo Drift behind the wheel of this malevolent Mopar, and it made enough of an impact that it returned in the 2009 follow-up as well.
Underhood, there’s a supercharged 500-cubic-inch Mopar wedge pumping out 750 horsepower. To those familiar with the car, it’s known simply as Hammer. The bidder who brought home this Plymouth also got a GMP limited edition 1:18-scale die-cast model of the car. Its closing bid of $175,000 made Hammer one of the top sellers at the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Orange County auction. Check out our mini-gallery below.
