In 1968 Plymouth® decided that muscle cars had gotten to far from their original purpose.  Thus the Road Runnerâ„¢ was born.  It was based on a stripped Belvedereâ„¢ the standard engine 383cdi up to race ready 440 Magnumâ„¢. Plymouth® paid 50,000 dollars to Warner brothers to a fix the cartoon bird on to its new vehicle. The Road Runnerâ„¢ is perhaps the second most significant muscle car to the 64′ Pontiac® GTOâ„¢.  In 1970 the 6 pack hood was dropped and the air grabber hood was put into its place.
