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.
