1968 was the first year that Plymouth offered the Road Runner as a performance option. Even though the GTX was already being produced, they wanted to go back to the drawing board to create a new musclecar to prowl and dominate this niche market. The standard engine was the 383-cid V-8, however for an extra seven-hundred dollars you could have the 426-cid V-8 Street Hemi rated at 425-hp with dual four-barrel carburetors. This gave the Road Runner the capability to run a quarter-mile in 13-seconds, a streetlight race winner by all means. Only 1,019 examples were built with the Street Hemi engine.

This electrifying 1968 Road Runner has just finished a rotisserie restoration earlier in 2014. According to the data tag the color is Matador Red accented with matte black side-opening hood scoop and chrome bumpers. Although this car has been restored, the original door panels and seat covers have been saved and are presented in like-new condition; it is also equipped with an AM radio. This car is powered by the monstrous 426-cid Street Hemi, fueled by two four-barrel carburetors with dual exhaust. The transmission is a four-speed manual transmission. This is an A34 Code car, equipped with the Super Trac Pack which is a 4:10:1 rear end that is fitted with Dana 60 series heavy-duty Sure Grip axles. Allowing for easy mobility and quick stopping is power steering and brakes. The Road Runner retains its original chassis, floor pans and exterior sheetmetal.

This car has undergone a thorough Wise Report Vehicle Inspection that was completed by Mopar Motors-Detroit. They confirmed the authenticity of this car as being a low production RM 21 configured vehicle that is one of 499 produced. Presented in superb condition, this car has undergone extreme measures to ensure that this rare car retains its authenticity and provenance that makes this an extremely desirable vehicle today.
