1968 Plymouth Road Runner
The Road Runner was purchased in March of 1968 in Norfolk, Virginia as it was being delivered to a dealer.
I had been looking for an automatic transmission car and this one was it. I traded a 1965 Comet Cyclone and a 1965 Mustang two
door coupe plus $600 for the car. The original invoice listed the car for $3027.00. This was one of the "fancier"
Road Runners with the Satellite interior. I raced the car in California, Virginia, and South Carolina. I towed
the car to La Crosse, WI in 1981 finally selling it in 1982 to a Navy recruiter in Stevens Point, WI. In 1995,
I returned from a business trip to find the car in my son's garage. He had found it in Troy, MI and bought it and brought
it home. My son and I have been racing it since 1995. It has gone from a twelve second "lane plugger"
to the nine second car of today.
Best Performance: 9.87 at 135 MPH
