The earliest of the 1968 models were available only as 2-door
pillared coupes (with a B-pillar between the front and rear
windows), but later in the model year, a 2-door "hardtop" model
(sans pillar) was offered. The Road Runner of 1968-1970 was based
on the Belvedere, while the GTX was based on the Sport Satellite, a
car with higher level trim and slight differences in the grilles
and taillights. The interior was spartan with a basic vinyl bench
seat, lacking even carpets in early models, and few options were
available - such as power steering and front disc brakes, AM radio,
air conditioning (except with the 426 Hemi) and automatic
transmission. A floor-mounted shifter (for the four-speed) featured
only a rubber boot and no console so that a bench seat could be
used.
