1968 Plymouth Road Runner Hemi Additional Info:

Vehicle Original VIN : RM21J8A280085The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner launched this new muscle car, and this example shows you exactly why it became an instant legend. It's a factory dual-quad 426 HEMI car with four-on-the-floor, and so it owns every inch of blacktop it touches. And what we like best is how it correctly upholds the bare-bones Road Runner spirit that actually makes it look even more sinister. Remember, the idea behind the original was that you saved weight by having fewer frills, and you then also got to use your extra money to buy more motor (basically Plymouth was smartly doing what would take a COPO at Chevy.) So when they restored this one, they made sure not to weigh it down with extras, and instead, it lets the sleek black give this a full midnight attitude. And don't you just love how the correct redline tires make this look like it's out for blood? So as you dig into all the details inside and out, you can really see that added thought and investment that went into making sure this Road Runner represents the car that everyone feared back in the day. HIGHLIGHTS *First-year Road Runner *Nice restoration to create a mean-as-midnight Mopar *Super sleek/sinister black paint upgrade *Stronger pillared coupe body *Dog dish hubcaps, steel wheels, and redline tires for a proper street machine look *Time capsule restored interior *Detailed style w/working dome light, textured upholstery, and AM radio (display) *Upgraded column-mounted tach *Hurst floor shifter *Highly stock engine bay *Documented born a 426 HEMI with dual four-barrel carburetors *Currently running strong on a 1966 (first-year) block *Four-speed manual transmission *Power brakes with rebuilt master cylinder and booster *Service manuals/diagrams *Galen Govier Documentation *Ultra-rare Canadian order muscle car Everything about this car shows it was restored to show how it would be the blacktop king for the summer of 1968. The bench seats, upgraded tach, and stronger pillared two-door body are all just as much about a powerful attitude as the full blackout style. The Galen Govier docs even prove this was born a dual-quad 426 HEMI car with a four-speed. That's a truly rare speed machine, especially because this is also confirmed to be a Canadian order! But as much as we mention how mean and powerful this one is, it also doesn't look like it has ever really turned its wheels in anger since its restoration. Instead, this is coming off of nearly a decade under the same owners who have just put quality care into this Plymouth. It includes rebuilding the carburetors, a new water pump, a new brake master cylinder, a new booster, new rear wheel cylinders, and more. It makes for an ideal history where a car that was born to be the rowdiest muscle car on the streets is really just working on a record of responsible care. So if you're looking for the ultimate wild child that has been under adult supervision, call today!
