Vehicle Description
This 1968 Plymouth Road Runner is located in Bradenton, FL and
offered by a classic car dealer. The Plymouth Road Runner is a
mid-size car with a focus on performance built by Plymouth in the
United States between 1968 and 1980. Plymouth developed the Road
Runner to market a lower priced, basic trim model to its upscale
GTX. We have a sharp restored red "real" 1968 Plymouth Road Runner
that is very original. It was a purpose-built muscle car and meant
to go fast while retaining a spartan look and interior, meaning
less weight and frills. This is a correct RM23 R code 383 car,
which means a lot today as a lot of Satellite clones pretend to be
a Road Runners. Not the case here, this is a real one! Features

The 383 cubic inch engine was standard with the 426 Hemi the only

Interior The red/black vinyl factory looking interior has bench
seats, matching rear seat and door panels, three-spoke sports Road
Runner steering wheel with the Beep-Beep Roadrunner horn, the
original gauge package and auxiliary tach and mounted gauges below
the dash, red carpet, Road Runner emblems, and a stereo radio
system. It has a lot of originality to this interior and it looks
as it did back when it was new. Exterior The Matador Red paint
scheme with the lift-off fiberglass hood and scoop really pops and
the muscle car lines look super as well as the front and rear
chrome bumpers, glass, trim, and it has the right factory stance
too with the raised white letter BF Goodrich Radial Ta's that it
rides on mounted on the black and chrome factory styled steel
wheels and chrome lug nuts. It has the famous Road Runner cartoon
graphics that Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Bros.-Seven Arts to
use the Road Runner name and likeness from their Wile E. Coyote and
The Road Runner cartoons (as well as a "beep, beep" horn, which
Plymouth paid $10,000 to develop) that our car still has.
