1971 GTX 440+6 engine in a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner. The B-body was redesigned for 1971 and featured rounded "fuselage" styling with a raked windshield, hidden cowl, and a loop-type front bumper around a deeply inset grille and headlights. This was the final year for the GTX as a stand-alone model. The convertible body style was dropped.

Mark Worman wanted to document the restoration of a 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda, painted Hemi Orange, equipped with a 440 6 Barrel V8, a Heavy Duty 4-Speed manual transmission, and a 3.54 ratio Dana 60 rear axle. On July 5, 1980, the car was wrecked after the driver lost control in a 100 mph race with a pickup truck.
