Plymouth lit the fuse on the muscle car world in 1968 with the Road
Runner, a bare knuckles street bruiser built to deliver big block
punch without the fluff. This F8 Green hardtop captures everything
that made the model a legend. It is a factory big block car that
now packs a thumping 440 V8 topped with the attitude and presence
that defined late sixties Mopar performance. One twist of the key
and the dual exhaust reminds you that subtlety was never part of
this car's vocabulary.
The 440 big block snarls through a 4 speed manual that begs to be
power shifted. The combination makes this Road Runner feel exactly
like the street fighters that terrorized Woodward and Van Nuys in
period. An aluminum radiator keeps the big block cool, while power
steering and power brakes give this brawler just enough civility to
be usable in modern traffic.
F8 Green suits the Road Runner perfectly. It highlights the car's
slab sided lines and gives it that quiet menace Plymouth designers
must have smirked about when they taped off the original clay
models. The stance is dead on thanks to Rev wheels that add a
performance oriented look without straying from the Road Runner's
no nonsense heritage.
Inside, the white vinyl split bench interior has the simple
durability that made these cars honest. Slide in and you get an
immediate sense that this car was designed for one thing. The floor
mounted shifter rises from the tunnel like a challenge and the
original AM radio sits in place as a reminder of the Road Runner's
working class mission. A three gauge pod keeps tabs on the 440's
vitals and completes the stripped for speed personality.
Road Runners have gained serious collector attention in recent
years because they represent the purest form of muscle car
thinking. This one nails the formula with the right colors, the
right engine, and the right transmission. It is a true street
machine built to be driven hard and enjoyed the way Plymouth
intended.
