Used 1968 Plymouth Road Runner

$49,995 Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. 1968 was the inaugural year for the Road Runner, and it more than doubled Plymouth's sales expectations, largely thanks to its appeal to younger buyers looking for a stylish but affordable muscle car. This particular two-door pillared B-body coupe comes to us today dressed in a driver-quality respray in its original color - Sable White (WW1) paired with an original Medium Blue interior (D4B). Up front, you'll find an Argent silver grille flanked by dual side-by-side round headlights, all framed with bright trim. Beneath is a gleaming chrome bumper with integrated turn signals. The hood features dual faux vents with 383 call-outs on each side that let you know that there's a stout V-8 hiding beneath. The side view reveals quite a bit of quality chrome and brightwork, including windshield trim, drip rail molding, window trim, door handles, and driver's side mirror. Both doors feature correct road runner badging and bird decals. If you look closely, you'll see that the bird decals are black and white - they didn't become colorized until the 1969 model year. Moving down the side of the car you'll notice that it has pop-out rear side windows and the iconic curved rear window. Around back, you'll see bright taillight surrounds, correct PLYMOUTH and road runner badging, a rear bumper just as nice as the one up front, and dual oval-shaped chrome exhaust tips. The stance of this Plymouth is just perfect as it rolls down the road on a set of 14 Magnum-style wheels all wrapped in Daytona Radial S/R tires. Lift the hood to find a very presentable engine bay with a 383ci V8 front and center. The engine, heads, water pump, intake, and valve covers are all painted in a fresh coat of Chrysler Turquoise and the surrounding area is Sable White like the body. Topping off the engine are an 800cfm Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor and an OEM black air cleaner with 383 road runner engine decal. Other highlights include the original fender tag, points ignition, factory HP exhaust manifolds, power steering, an upgraded 26 radiator, and a black Beep Beep horn (they started painting them purple in '69). Stopping power comes courtesy of manual drum brakes. The big V-8 is mated up to a Chrysler 727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels through an 8 ¾ rear axle with 3.23 sure-grip gears. Both the engine and transmission came out of a low-mileage 1969 Road Runner and they are each stamped with a full matching VIN for that car. So, while not a numbers-matching engine and drivetrain, it's certainly era-correct. When you open the drivers door the overhead courtesy light pops on to illuminate a largely original tow-tone Blue interior. The blue painted doors are outfitted with what appear to be original blue panels with armrests and crank windows. Both the front and rear bench seats are covered in two-tone blue vinyl and both look original, with some light staining and signs of wear on the piping and some seams (no rips or tears though). Underfoot is newer looking blue hook & loop carpet topped with a double-wide rubber Chrysler floormat up front and two carpeted Beep Beep mats in the rear. Look up and you'll find a nice tight perforated blue vinyl headliner. Ahead of the driver is a blue 3-spoke OEM steering wheel with a working horn and a column shifter just behind. The dash is topped with a crack-free blue vinyl dashpad that sits above an original-looking gauge cluster with gauges for alt, gas, and temp as well as a 120mph speedometer. The odometer reads 89,620 miles and the title claims those to be actual. Below the gauges are controls for the lights and working wipers. In the center of the dash is an original, working Plymouth solid state AM radio that sounds great for being 58 years old. Above the radio, mounted under the dash-top, are controls for the working heat and fan. Ahead of the passenger is a road runner badge, anothe
