Vehicle Description
1968 Plymouth Road Runner
Why This Car Is Special
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 black restored 1968 Plymouth Road Runner that is
very original here at Skyway Classics that was a purpose-built
muscle car, it was meant to go fast while retaining a spartan look
and interior, meaning less weight and frills.
This is a correct RM21 H 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!

Mechanical
It is powered by the Plymouth performance built, what we believe to
be, numbers matching 383 cubic inch V8 engine with a four-speed
manual transmission shifted by the Hurst shifter.
The 383 has a factory stock intake, valve covers, heads, and block,
with a four-barrel carb, black 383 Road Runner Air cleaner assembly
with the correct decals, factory cast iron exhaust manifolds, dual
exhaust, with it sitting in an original looking clean, painted, and
detailed engine compartment.
The underneath is as clean as the engine compartment and it drives
and handles well with plenty of get-up-and-go.
Interior
The black vinyl factory looking interior has a bench seat,
three-spoke Road Runner steering wheel, the original dash and gauge
package, 4-speed chrome Hurst shifter with the white cue-ball knob
on it, black carpet, matching rear seat, great door panels, Road
Runner emblems, and a pushbutton radio system.
It has a lot of originality to this interior and it looks as it did
back when it was new.
Exterior
The stealthy black paint scheme with the black hood and Road Runner
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 it rides on and 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 great looking black Vinyl top.
