In September of 1967, the 1968 models first appeared on the showroom floor of the Chrysler dealership where my Dad bought all of his cars. We went there so my dad could buy 2 new cars, a 1968 Chrysler 300 for himself, and a 1968 Barracuda for my mom, which I got to drive and race during my senior year in high school. I recall that while at the dealership, I saw my first Road Runner on the showroom floor. A salesman told me that he would sell 10 of them on a Friday or Saturday. The sticker price was $2,880 for the basic 383 model. My mom's 318 barracuda was $3,700. I fell in love with the Road Runner that night and in the late 1970s, would own a street driven 1969 Road Runner and had a '68 Road Runner drag racing car. I would tow the '68 to the track with my '69 Road Runner. Great fun and a dream come true.

If you said '68 Road Runner, this is the exact car that I'd picture in my head: Electric Blue, vinyl bench seat with a four gear, poverty caps, blacked out hood, B-Pillar, rear vent windows and twin chrome exhaust tips. This is the quintessential '68 Road Runner.

That 383 was a GOOD motor. Had one ('68 335 hp) and its matching 833 4-speed in a '93 standard cab shortbox Dakota. With a 4.10 Dana 60 and a Detroit TrueTrac, that thing was a WILD little ride. I later put it in a '68 Satellite with 3.91s and it was still no slouch. 383s rev in a way that makes them super fun on the street, and that 383 was probably about the best they ever built. I've always loved the 'plain brown wrapper' vibe of the RoadRunner post cars. That ones especially sweet in that (I think?) B5 blue and no options. Awesome episode this time, thank you!

Plymouth went back to WB in 1969 when they were planning their entry level A Body performance car to license the Tasmanian Devil character. Warner Bros. saw how much potential money they lost out on with the Road Runner and named a fee so high Plymouth passed and called the car 'Duster' instead. I'm sure the fine folks at Warner Brothers are still more than willing to squeeze every penny they think they can get for a licensing fee, especially when you consider the Road Runner nameplate ran for 10 model years.

Always liked how Chrysler painted the engine bay body color instead of satin black, and even if you opted for the base wheels and poverty caps because you were going to junk 'em and put on some Cragars, they were body color as well. Looks like this one is fancied up a bit wit the 360 option code interior Decor Package, The base steering wheel didn't have a horn ring, and I'm pretty sure those are the upgrade seat covers. Can't tell if it has carpet, but I think it should. The hardtop came standard with the nicer interior if I remember correctly, but the post coupe interior was pretty much lifted out of a taxi. Rubber floor mat and all. This car is what the Road Runner was all about IMO. Tape stripes and fancy wheels don't make you go any faster.

Low 15s or high 14s is incorrect. My 1969 Road Runner/383 automatic with 150,000 miles on it would run 14.5 seconds @ 95 mph, and that was after a 140 mile drive. Mid 14s was typical of not only the 383 Road Runner, but the 440 GTX, and the 340 Duster as well. We were all pretty evenly matched at the dragway. And the 4 speed manual was not standard. That would have been the 3 speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. The Chrysler cars back then were literally bullet proof. Trans, rear end, and engine never broke. The Torqueflite was the most awesome automatic trans ever built.

The Fenton plant complex operated from 1959 to 2009 and was the main minivan plant for a time. We got the tag, we can brag (in no order): RM21 Road Runner two door sedan, 62 for 383 V8 with four barrel, high performance, 3 for four speed manual transmission with floor shift, 44 for F70x14 redline tires, A04 for Wednesday October 4, 1967 scheduled production, and the last group of numbers on the bottom line are the sales order number, m-6 for LH outside remote mirror, C-4 for heavy duty suspension (option code 621), R-1 for AM radio, 2 watt speaker, economy (option code 421), T-7 for tachometer and clock (option code 577), 2-5 for roof drip moldings (option code 535), AX-4 for 3.23:1 ratio, non-locking rear axle (option code 404), D4L for Deluxe (D) vinyl split bench seat (4), tan (L) interior trim, SS1 for Sunfire Yellow exterior paint, UBS of U-Y for Medium Tan Metallic upper interior door trim, and B for Black horizontal tape stripes. So it appears that this car had the paint and interior changed at some point.

Mine was a 4 spd car, had the pop out rear windows, 8 track tape player, and a trim panel across the truck lid between the tail lights (so mine was not bare like this blue car). My 383 engine was painted blue, and in ‘69 the engine was painted orange.

I was hoping you would have reached over and gave the horn a couple of taps so we could hear the beep beep. I grew up in a small southern town (1969)and the star football player in high school had one. One night he and his best friend were late getting to work so he wound it out on a country road and didn't make a curve. It is said they were estimated to be going over 140mph. Very tragic and sad day for everyone in that little town. I always remember that when I see a 68 Roadrunner that is blue.

68 roadrunners could have had the taillight trim panel as a mid year decor group option.

Pretty car but several things aren’t correct. It didn’t have the decor package so the steering wheel wouldn’t have had a horn ring and it wouldn’t have had dual exhaust with chrome tips. Should have had turn downs instead. Also the engine should have been turquoise instead of orange.

I believe 68 were all post cars. 69 and 70 offered both. I believe the Road Runner bird decals are missing from the doors. Black and white vs the 69 and later colored cartoons one.wrong color engine should be turquoise. Also has 1970 valve covers. Aftermarket radiator.wrong shifter.

Early 68 were post but later they made hard tops. 69 both post and hard top with a convertible mid year. Engine is correctly colored Hemi Orange as it was a special engine for the RR only. Early 68 cars came with a NON Hurst shifter for the manual, then all 4 speeds got the Hurst (I had the same shift knob on my 69)

The dash mounted amber reverse light appeared with the Hurst shifter as well, as it didn’t feature a lockout.

Not sure how you do it but you do it good and I'm hoping If we can get to 100,000 subscribers will you do a livestream? Like a walk-around bernardston Auto with Katie or answer some questions while showing us the model collection, or even taken out one of the crazy cars you have for a drive. I literally make everybody watch a video of yours and then make sure they subscribe.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion and let's be honest it works great how it is. I'm from Pittsburgh so it's really interesting to see other wrecking yards. Kind of like the hubcap game vids. It was just a thought.

You are so right but the term "muscle" was not coined until the 60s and 70s cars. IMHO the 64 GTO was not the first muscle car . It was the slick marketing campaign that Pontiac got the car in the spotlight first. (loved the 65s and 67s)
