In the history of the autoverse, few cars inspire equal amounts of
fear and respect quite like this 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. Fully
repainted in a beautiful sky blue hue, this throwback powerhouse is
the first year for the iconic Road Runner, looking clean and
straight from any angle. Based on the Belvedere body, the Road
Runner was stripped down to become the most minimalist muscle car
this side of a Shelby Cobra.
Inside, we find a black vinyl interior that has been restored to
its original specifications, with the exception of a few tasteful
improvements. A roomy split-bench front seat sits in front of a
three-spoke, power-assisted steering wheel. An upgraded
analog/digital gauge cluster features a 160-mph speedometer and
8,000-rpm tachometer, with a digital display front and center. Two
big speakers are mounted under the dashboard and are connected to a
hidden Bluetooth radio, while the cueball shifter knob provides
even more entertainment than anything on the radio.
Under that aggressively styled hood, we find a period-correct
383-cubic-inch overhead-valve V-8 engine. Fed by a single Holley
four-barrel carburetor, spent gases are expelled via a set of
long-tube headers, dual exhaust, and MagnaFlow mufflers. That power
is routed through a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission
before reaching the big ten-spoke 17-inch U.S. Mags wheels shod in
Nitto rubber.
