Plymouth introduced the B-body Road Runner in 1968 stripped of all the frills of its brother, the top-of-the-line GTX. The concept of a low-price, freshly-styled car with a powerful engine capable of running the quarter-mile at 100-mph was brilliant marketing aimed squarely at younger buyers looking for a performance bargain. Key to the musclecar image was cartoon bird decals and the unique “beep-beep” horn. Standard was a 383-cid V-8, four-speed manual transmission, heavy-duty suspension, GTX-like hood bulges and an interior on par with a taxi-cab. With a base price of $2,896, this is one of 48,549 hardtop coupes built in 1969.
