Top 10 American Cars Of The 1960s

March 24, 2019

2. 1968 Plymouth Road Runner

If you wanted a basic muscle car, that was accessible to just about anyone, the Road Runner was where it was at. The car isn’t beautiful, but there’s a certain ruggedness to it that’s very endearing. It’s very much the AK-47 of cars. Performance came first. Everything else could be left.

Under the hood, you could install a 426 Hemi V8 which produced 425 horsepower. This impressive powertrain let you blow almost every other car on the road away, with an impressive price tag of just under $3600. No one is ever going to call the Road Runner a beautiful car. It’s a basic muscle car, but sometimes, that’s all you need. That, and a good open road.
