Overview of 1968 Plymouth Road Runner For Sale by Owner

Automakers don’t do silly things anymore. Like, say, create a muscle car and name it after a beloved cartoon character. Or spend a significant sum of money to buy the naming rights from the intellectual property holder of said character. Or spend even more money after that to develop a horn that sounds just like that character’s jaunty cry. That’s what Plymouth did in the Sixties, with the Road Runner. They paid Warner Brothers US$50,000 to license their Road Runner character’s name and likeness. Then, they spent a further $10,000 to develop a horn that said “Beep Beep” just like the character did on screen. Was it a success? You bet! In fact, if not for the Malaise Era’s impending arrival and renewed focus on fuel economy and emissions, the Road Runner might have run a little bit longer than 1980. Today, we have a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner for sale from Jacksonville, Florida. With a nice 383ci V8, an automatic gearbox and an aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, this 42,228-mile machine is a fine catch for a savvy collector of American classics – or someone who wants to start a collection.

Exterior and Interior

This 1968 Plymouth Road Runner comes wearing Black Cherry Metallic paint and riding on a set of black-painted 5-spoke steel-styled wheels with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. Yes, the vehicle’s exterior color theme tends towards the darker end of the spectrum, but the car is definitely a head-turner, nevertheless. Its long and low profile, quad headlamps and Road Runner emblems all attract just the right amount and kind of attention. A blacked-out front grille and chrome bumpers are also present. The black and burgundy two-tone interior of this 1968 Plymouth Road Runner features a two-tone dash, a burgundy headliner and the aforementioned Pioneer aftermarket radio. The interior shows signs of its age, and is definitely unrestored, but isn’t run down either. You’ve also got a B&M floor shifter in chrome, and a custom 3-spoke steering wheel.

Engine

This 1968 Plymouth Road Runner uses a 383ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor from Edelbrock. It’s rear-wheel drive and uses a 3-speed automatic transmission. You’ve also got an Edelbrock chrome air cleaner, chrome valve covers and an aftermarket performance distributor in place.
