Paul, I wouldn't be suprised if it turned out to be an option that no one ordered!

To back-up Paul, author Tony Young sez:

"The Air Grabber was actually introduced late in the 1968 model year and was missed by many GTX and Road Runner buyers."

Again, I think ALL missed out on it.

M68,

I would agree,,,,,,,,,,,,a miniscule amount of 1968 Road Runners were ordered with the 'under hood air induction option'.

Supposedly an 'option list' insert was sent to the Plymouth Dealerships
in February 1968.

Most likely, they never made into the dealer's order book.

Any other weird options or 'Ringers' built in 1968...

Always liked the lines of the '68 Shelby Mustang GT-500-KR...

Needless to say, the car and parts ads in the various automotive and even non-automotive magazines from that era were the coolest and never will be surpassed.
