An icon of the era, the Plymouth Roadrunner is one of the most renowned American Muscle Cars. Introduced in 1968, the Roadrunner was developed as a no-frills, back-to-basics performance car. Despite being larger, the Roadrunner was actually lighter (and cheaper) than its cousin, the Plymouth 'Cuda. Base model Roadrunners were equipped with an exclusive 383ci V8 under the hood, but for $714 (a very high-cost option at the time), Plymouth would replace that engine with what is arguably the most sought-after V8 of the era: the 426ci / 425hp Hemi V8. With this engine under the hood, the Roadrunner was a no-doubter, leaving the competition in the dust.

The Roadrunner seen here is a well-preserved example that was fully restored in the early 1990s and it shows in extremely well-kept condition throughout. It is finished in factory-correct Electric Blue Metallic over a blue vinyl interior, and the car has been driven sparingly since restoration by limited owners. The original, numbers-matching 426ci Hemi V8 remains under the hood, driving a correct 4-speed manual transmission and Dana rear end with Suregrip differential. To further enhance this Roadrunner's performance, a few choice modern upgrades have been installed including high-performance headers, Mopar Performance multiple spark ignition controller and traction bars. Additionally, front disc brakes and Gear Vendor overdrive have been installed.

The blue vinyl interior features bench seating, a desirable pistol grip shifter and wood rim steering wheel. And upgraded Autometer Cobalt tachometer has been added, as well as auxiliary gauges in the dash. The car rolls on painted 15" steel wheels with Mickey Thompson Sportsman rubber.

On file with this Roadrunner is an organized binder of restoration records and receipts, various documentation and the original Plymouth Certicard.

This Hemi-powered Roadrunner is an extremely well-preserved example that would be an excellent addition to any collection. With a world-record sale in June 2014, Hemi-powered Mopar values are appreciating rapidly, and this Hemi Road Runner is a solid investment opportunity.
