"From Crummy to Crome"
The Plymouth Road Runner began in 1968 with the introduction of the first edition of this wonderful muscle car. A stripped down, meant to perform car, geared toward the younger crowd, could be had with no less than a 335 HP, 425 lbs/ft torque, 383 cubic inch Big-Block V8, backed by THE Chrysler A-833 4-speed shift for your self trans. There were only two body options, unfourtunatley there was no convertible offered this year (this will change in 1969). The options were Hardtop and Coupe, the only noticable difference between the two being the rear side windows. On a Hardtop these windows will roll down, on the Coupe these windows merly push out at the back. This is becuase of the needed structural support just in front of the window. But if every last pound counts, the Coupe is lighter! The interior was sparse, similar to a taxi-cab, with a black bench seat interior being standard, with very few options. One way to upgrade the interior was the option of Decor Group, which added more interior colors, steering while with partial horn ring, pillar molding, and deck lid treatment. The only avaliable option for an engine was a step up, a HUGE step up, to none other then THE engine, the 425 HP, 490 lbs/ft touque 426cid fire breathing HEMI
