How many had one,,,,,

,

The 1968 Road Runner, introduced to the public by Plymouth in
October 1967.

Kind of a 'general purpose performance car', available with the 383/335 HP
power-plant as its standard engine.

Built on the Belvedere frame, it was a 'no frills' car, with no trim package,
basic interior with a bench seat, and rubber mat flooring.
No consoles, either a 4-speed on the floor, or column-shifted automatic.
A 'plain jane' dashboard, with a standard 120 MPH speedometer, and 3 dash gages
(amps, temperature and fuel). An idiot indicator light was utilized for oil pressure.

Standard 11" drum brakes, and 8 3/4" Sure-Grip posi-rear w/3.23 gears.
14" x 5.5" wheels, with F70 x 14" tires (Red-line or RWL)

Originally advertised as a $3000 car that could run 14.00's @ 100 MPH
A 'bit' exaggerated,,,,,as the car ran closer to 14.90's @ 93 MPH.

Only real options;,,,,,,, disc brakes and power steering,,,,,,and the 426 HEMI.
