This example is particularly noteworthy due to its documented long-term ownership by Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, who purchased the car in Northern California in August 1993 using royalties earned from his work on Metallica's self-titled album, commonly known as The Black Album. Finished in its Black Velvet (X9) exterior color over a black vinyl interior with a matching black convertible top, this Road Runner presents as a striking triple-black Mopar muscle car with exceptional provenance. Prior to Newsted's acquisition, the vehicle underwent a refurbishment that included a repaint reportedly consisting of multiple coats of black paint and clear coat. According to ownership history, the all-black appearance was inspired by the artwork and presentation of Metallica's Black Album. The car remains equipped with several desirable factory and period-correct features including an Air Grabber hood with driver-operated intake doors, Road Runner graphics, dual side mirrors, chrome bumpers, front vent windows, a center console, and a power-operated black convertible top complete with parade boot and zippered rear window. Power is supplied by a 383ci V8 engine paired with a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and power-assisted brakes provide comfortable drivability, while chrome-finished 15-inch Cragar S/S wheels wrapped in Maxima Radial GTS tires add to the car's classic muscle car appearance. Recent servicing includes replacement of the thermostat, brake master cylinder, and brake hoses. Inside, the cabin features black vinyl bucket seats, a rear bench seat, woodgrain trim accents, front headrests, courtesy lighting, black carpeting, embroidered Road Runner floor mats, and a Chrysler Solid State AM radio. Accompanying the vehicle are ownership documentation from the Jason Newsted era, a signed Metallica album, spare parts, and additional records supporting the car's unique history and provenance. Combining rarity, factory black-on-black presentation, convertible body styling, and direct ties to one of heavy metal's most recognized musicians, this Road Runner represents a unique opportunity for both Mopar enthusiasts and collectors of music-related automobilia.
