The Plymouth Road Runner is a mid-size car with a focus on performance, by 1968, some of the original muscle cars were moving away from their roots as relatively cheap, fast cars as they gained features and increased in price. Plymouth developed the Road Runner to market a lower priced, basic trim model to its upscale GTX.
Launched in 1968 as a 2-door pillared coupes (with a B-pillar between the front and rear windows), but later in the model year a 2-door "hardtop" model was offered The interior was spartan with a basic vinyl bench seat, lacking even carpets in early models, and few options were available. The standard engine was an exclusive 383 CID "Roadrunner" V8 engine rated at 335 bhp, the extra 5bhp attained by using the radical cam from the 440 Super Commando. A $714 option was the 426 CID Hemi rated at 425 bhp. The standard transmission was a four speed manual, but a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic was optional. Early four-speed 1968 Road Runners featured Inland shifters, which were replaced by Hurst shifters during the course of the model year
For 1969 the model kept the same basic look, but with slight changes to the taillights and grille, and side marker lights. All were 383 cu in (6.3 L) engine cars, except for ten which were equipped with a 426 cu in (7.0 L) Hemi. An Air Grabber option (N96 code) was introduced this year; it consisted of a fiberglass air duct assembly bolted to the underside of the hood that connected to twin rectangular upward-facing vents in the hood with Rallye red vent screens When the hood was closed, a rubber seal fitted over the large-oval unsilenced air cleaner.
For 1970 cars received a new front, and rear end looks to the basic 1968 body, Updates included a new grille, cloth & vinyl bench seat, hood, front fenders, quarter panels, single-piston Kelsey-Hayes disc brakes
