1968 Plymouth Road Runner

The Road Runner was a mid-sized car built by Plymouth with Performance as its main focus. It was a lower priced version of the upscale GTX. Plymouth paid a whopping $50,000 to Warner Brothers to use the Road Runner name and likeness from their Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner cartoons as well as the “beep beep” horn, which Plymouth paid another $10,000 to develop. It was a back to basics mid-size performance car.

The interiors were very sparce, lacking creature comforts. In fact, the earliest versions of the first generation did not even offer carpet and other options were unavailable as well like power steering and front disc brakes. The standard engine was the 335 HP 383 Cubic Inch engine that produced a staggering 425 lb-ft tortque.

This Road Runner that we are offering for sale has been freshly restored and is a well sorted car. It is powered by its 440 V8 paired with a 4 speed manual transmission. The Road Runner offered here has a fiberglass hood, Edelbrock intake, Hedman Headers, factory tachometer, and aluminum radiator. The car runs and functions very well. The body is laser straight and shows very well.
