Vehicle Description
This 1968 Plymouth Road Runner is everything you love about Mopar
muscle. The big 383 V8, upgraded exterior, and the growling exhaust
turn this lovable cartoon character into the aggressor, and you
wouldn't want it any other way.
This is the kind of Road Runner that gets its distinction right.
1968 was the debut year for these budget burners. The blocky body
has the unflinching authority of a police car. But even within this
industrial aggressiveness is room for some great styling touches
like the performance hood, bright chrome bumpers, and the rear
fenders that extend past the wide rear light bar to create a
frenched look. But what really makes this coupe standout is the
paint. The deep blue has a nice metallic element that signals an
investment in quality. The black hood stripe package coordinates
nicely with the deep blue, but when the sunlight rolls over it, the
matte finish gives this muscle car extra aggression. And no matter
day or night, the reflective white pinstriping always grabs
attention.
Open the door, and you'll find one of the best interiors you will
ever see on a Road Runner. Where most of these are dark-and-stark
budget classics, this car features a seriously attractive two-tone
blue and white. We all love bucket seats and a center console - a
sought-after upgrade especially on these Road Runners. And it all
has that excellent look of preservation/restoration, right down to
the factory AM radio that's still on display. But more than just a
time machine, this is a driver's classic. You get an upgraded
three-spoke wheel for the optional power steering, and beyond that
are the easy-to-read factory gauges - including the desirable tach.
This lets your senses know there's something quite powerful under
the hood.
The engine bay is another place where you see plenty of devotion to
detail. The glossy exterior paint funnels your attention to the big
383 cubic-inch V8, and with such a tidy setup, you can clearly see
all the best parts. That includes the full Plymouth turquoise paint
on the motor, and the special horn that gives this Road Runner its
hallmark BEEP! BEEP! Plus, with that big bold air cleaner and
correct Road Runner on top, it looks like a beacon of performance
in the engine bay. Underneath that this big Mopar inhales deeply
from Demon carburetor, and it exhales with authority out of the
dual exhaust. The Torqueflight A727 three-speed automatic
transmission does a fantastic job of handling this big V8's power.
Plus, have you noticed the wheels? They look like classic Mags, but
they're are modern 17-inch alloys. This allows for great grip with
the new modern performance tires.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at a distinct Mopar
that's well restored and absolutely powerful. So don't let this
first-ever Road Runner pass you by. Call today!!!
