1968 Road Runner Shorts
Description: Plymouth’s boxy Belvedere GTX may have been late to the party in '67, but the division cleaned house on everybody else in '68 with the Road Runner. Unlike the GTX, this time Plymouth got it right; dropping in a 335 bhp 383 cid V-8 with 440 Super Commando heads and cam in a bare bones 3,000-lb, two-door hardtop with a 4-speed synchro transmission. Base price was $2,870.00, skinned down to a rubber floor mat and non-pleat taxicab interior. If you wanted carpet and bright work, you had to drop another $79.20 for the décor group. More power by way of a 425 bhp, 426 cid Hemi would cost you $714.30, but the base car was quick and simple, and that's exactly how most buyers liked it.
Description: A gritty tribute to the golden age of American muscle, featuring a 1968 Road Runner 383 tearing through a sun-baked desert landscape. Distressed racing typography, vintage speed-shop details, and old-school screen-print texture give this design the feel of a forgotten late-'60s performance garage shirt. Made for classic Mopar enthusiasts, muscle car collectors, drag racing fans, and anyone who still believes big-block attitude belongs on the open road.
