Default Re: 1968 Plymouth Road Runner

Dave

Everything Road Runner:

The name designated to the car was originally 'La Mancha'.

It cost Chrysler-Plymouth $10,000 to develop the 'Beep Beep' sound in the single horn. (Black w/decal for 1968).

The use of the Inland 4-Speed shifter saved Chrysler-Plymouth
$40 per unit, instead of using the Hurst Shifter (later installed on the
1968 mid-year production cars).

Wheelbase: 116"

Track-width: 59.5" Front / 59.2" Back

Suprisingly, none of the factory-backed Chrysler-Plymouth Racing teams
were able to successfully campaign a 383 Road Runner in E/S or E/SA for the 1968 drag racing season.
