Gateway Classic Cars Philadelphia offers this iconic muscle car, a
real 1968 Plymouth Road Runner at our showroom located in West
Deptford, NJ! The concept of the biggest "bang for your buck" is
thoroughly embodied by the Plymouth Road Runner as buyers got a
whole lotta car for one heck of a price. The manufacturer was going
after the youth market, a demographic that was previously not
inclined to visit a Plymouth showroom. Plymouth Vice President Bob
Anderson sought the advice of auto journalists to answer the big
question, what kind of car would a young person buy? The answer was
an affordable, stripped mid-sized performance car that had a
recognizable, catchy name. Jack Smith, then manager of Plymouth's
B-Body planning group and the man behind the beep-beep, was
watching a Saturday morning cartoon featuring the familiar coyote
and road runner noting, "The cartoon character was hot off the
line, it was fast, it never got beaten and could stop on a dime."
Well, after some deliberation and a lot of convincing, Plymouth
launched the Road Runner in 1968 and it was met with remarkable
success. Now available, you too can own this great car coated in a
loud Omaha orange paint and sporty black hood stripes that pair
beautifully with the sharp black vinyl top. This fast bird rumbles
with numbers matching 383 CID V8 coupled to a four-speed manual
transmission that shifts with ease. HEI ignition means you're good
to go in terms of spark and listen to that great "beep beep" horn!
The car went through a fresh rotisserie restoration in April 2017,
with a complete undercoating and has new chrome Magnum 500 wheels
surrounded by some new rubber. Sit down on the comfortable black
bench seat and enjoy some tunes coming from the Retrosound�
Bluetooth stereo that sounds terrific. The interior features a new
headliner, new carpet, door panels, armrests and package tray! The
car has new hoses, mufflers, tailpipes, fuel and brake lines and a
new gas tank! This Road Runner is ready to go! Are you able to
outsmart it and tame the famed bird? Give us a call today and give
that coyote a run for his money! To view this 1968 Plymouth Road
