1968 Plymouth Road Runner

1968 Plymouth Road Runner — factory-powered American muscle, professionally restored and tastefully upgraded.
This Road Runner retains its factory engine block, preserving the authenticity that collectors appreciate, while benefiting from professional tuning and carefully selected Edelbrock performance upgrades. The motor remains stock at its core but has been dressed with quality aftermarket performance components, enhancing reliability and drivability while maintaining the spirit of the original powerplant. The build was completed professionally, with close attention to detail throughout.
The exterior has undergone a full repaint in Ember Gold Poly, a rich and period-correct color that perfectly complements the Road Runner’s bold, no-nonsense body lines. The finish highlights the aggressive stance and classic B-body proportions that made these cars so iconic. The interior has also been fully redone, offering a clean, refreshed cabin that blends classic styling with crisp presentation. It’s a car that looks as strong as it drives — and it drives great.
The 1968 model year marked the very first year of the Plymouth Road Runner — a car that reshaped the muscle car market. Plymouth introduced the Road Runner as a back-to-basics, performance-first machine designed to deliver maximum horsepower at an affordable price. Named after the Warner Bros. cartoon character — complete with the factory “beep-beep” horn — the Road Runner quickly became a sales success and a street legend.
Originally offered with the 383 cubic-inch V8 and optional 426 HEMI, the Road Runner focused on raw performance over luxury, utilizing the lightweight B-body platform and aggressive styling. Its overwhelming popularity helped solidify Mopar’s place in the golden era of American muscle.
This particular example captures that original muscle car attitude while benefiting from a professional restoration and tasteful upgrades. It maintains its factory heart, enhanced with proven performance components, and presents as a strong, well-sorted classic that’s ready to be enjoyed.
