MCACN Special Topic: The Troika of Hemis
There are people Some people like to claim that other cars are faster, but vehicles powered by the 426 Hemi are the measure of muscle car performance and appeal. No other engine of the era could match the strength, power potential or mechanical performance of the RB engine with its hemispherical combustion chamber. We captured three 1968-70 B-bodies at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN). 1968 Plymouth GTX Chrysler Corporation redesigned the midsize B-body in 1968, bringing a modern feel to a series of cars dating back to 1962. Plymouth's Belvedere range featured tall character lines above the wheel wells that gave it a sporty feel, while one called the Road Runner changed expectations for performance cars on the market. 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T On the Dodge, "Coke bottle" shaped rear fenders with simulated air intakes (molded into the body) also lend a certain sportiness, but don't look like the badge-engineered Plymouth. Of course, the Charger takes the Coke…

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1969 Plymouth Road Runner
Featured Car Hunter Networkan online auction platform operated by ClassicCars.com, is auctioning this 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. The Road Runner is one of the true icons of the Mopar muscle car. By the late 1960s, the perception of muscle cars as cheap performance cars had changed, and over the years these cars became increasingly expensive. Plymouth introduced the Road Runner as a return to a simpler, more basic, more affordable high-performance midsize car. Plymouth paid Warner Bros. $50,000 for the use of the Road Runner name, the "beep" horn, and the cartoon characters of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. In addition, Plymouth paid $10,000 to develop the horn. The Road Runner featured here is powered by a reportedly numbers-matching 383ci V8 engine mated to a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission. It's finished in special-order Omaha Orange paint with a black vinyl interior and is being offered now by the selling dealer with a clear title. The car features power…
Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
AutoHunter Picks of the Week Made of American performance cars. Being fast is one thing, torque is another, and that's what makes American performance cars so great. One interesting thing about the latest AutoHunter car listed below is that this 1993 car is powered by a 300-horsepower small-block engine. That number may sound low today, but at the time it was enough to run with many cars from the glory days, and it outperformed all but a few 5.7-liter cars of the era. This means that, believe it or not, horsepower has made a comeback for more than 30 years. 1968 Dodge ChargerWhen it comes to the second-generation Charger, fans fall into either the 1968, 1969 or 1970 camps. Me? I like the 1969 model best, with its neat full-width taillights and grille divider that seems to add a smile to the front. However, the 1968 model is the original, and many people love the round taillights and turbine detailing…
Daily Pick: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Convertible
Automobile manufacturers Detroit automakers have a strange habit of letting their accountants get away with undermining the fairness of certain models. It has happened in the past and will continue to happen. An example of this phenomenon is our pick today, a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner convertible. A dealer in Milford, Michigan, has it listed for sale on ClassicCars.com. (Click on the link to view the listing) After the Road Runner's success in 1968, Plymouth introduced a companion hardtop to go with the coupe. At the time, product planners had the bright idea to add the Road Runner to a variety of uses, reportedly including a wagon. Huh? But if the Ford Mustang Mach-E is any indication, that seems to be the way of the world. After that squabble died down, we were left with the Road Runner convertible, the only concession for 1969. While the Road Runner was an inexpensive, performance car that lacked frills, Plymouth's product planners wanted…
When was the first 1970 Road Runner built?
Collectors' Favorite First refers to anything, like the first model year of a particular car or the first car to roll off an assembly line. But here we have a twist: The first 1970 Plymouth Road Runner was built before the first Road Runner was built, a test car built before production. And it was a Hemi! 1970 Road Runner. (Photo courtesy of Dale Matthews) Pre-production vehicles are not prototypes. They are hand-built vehicles used to test processes and confirm product details before full production. This short production run can reveal any problems that may arise so that they can be resolved before full production begins. In today's automotive terminology, this is called a "production pre-run." Road Runner fender label. Note the serial number 00015. Dale Matthews just wanted a 1970 Hemi Road Runner, but he got more than he bargained for. A quarter century ago, a local new resident was rumored to have a Hemi Road Runner, but the…
