Vehicle Description
This 1968 Plymouth Road Runner is everything you love about Mopar
muscle. A distinct color combo, four-on-the-floor, and plenty of V8
power under the hood. And as you look over the details on this one,
you can see a careful eye to invest in its style while keeping
everything feeling quite vintage.
Some cars are triple-black, but when you're a 1960s classic, it's
hard to deny the appeal of triple-green. The factory-correct
Avocado Green has the shine of a more modern application, and so it
sets the tone right for a car that has been given the right
investments to remain both very vintage and very attractive. Crisp
lines, well-fitting doors, vent trim hood, and classic Mopar road
wheels with redline tires make for a striking muscle car. Plus, the
trim tag tells us the distinct green vinyl roof is a
factory-correct piece. And this one also shows off plenty of its
cheery charm. The wide B-body design means the chrome bumpers look
like a huge grin at both ends on the car, and of course, it
wouldn't be a true first-year Road Runner without the Warner
Brothers bird making a speedy getaway on each door and the rear
panel.
The green interior joins the paint and roof to complete the
distinct triple-green style. In fact, with the interior done in a
two-tone, we could even call this quadruple-green. It's this kind
of unique factory presentation that lets you know exactly why it
was worth the extra time and money to restore this coupe correctly.
It's also exactly why you'll love rolling down all the windows on
this pillarless hardtop just to show off the full package. The
carpeting is plush, the headliner is taut, the door panels are
wonderfully detailed, the dash is smooth, and two-tone green seats
are clean and complete, right down to the bright trim on the
seatbacks. You can tell this is a driver's car by desirable
upgrades like the Hurst shifter and oil pressure gauge under the
dash. Desirable features, like the factory tach are just still
there for display. But you'll be impressed at the level of working
vintage features, including the AM radio and dome light. And yes,
the horn still has the cartoon BEEP! BEEP!
The engine bay is just as clean and complete as the rest of the
car, and so you know you'll love lifting the hood to show off the
big block at car shows. The 383 cubic-inch V8 looks correct with
the Chrysler Blue paint on the block, big Road Runner air grabber
with correct decals, clean Mopar hoses, and the overall tidy
presentation of a thoughtful restoration. In fact, you'll have to
look hard for upgrades, like the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor
that lets the mighty motor inhale deeper. The four-speed manual
transmission gives you proper control over the power and the rumble
of the dual exhaust. A true Road Runner likes to let you feel the
road, but this coupe gives you some easy driving feelings with the
power steering.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and a restoration
photos book. This is the triple-green true classic that's a ton of
fun. So don't miss this Mopar, call today!
