1968 Plymouth Road Runner finished in its restored bodywork from 1995 and powered today by a 426 Hemi that traces its origins to a 1966 Belvedere. This engine has been built .030 over with JE 10.5:1 pistons, ARP main studs and rod bolts, resized rods, a Melling high-volume oil pump, Milodon deep oil pan and pickup, and a solid camshaft. Topped with a Mopar M1 single-plane intake, Holley 850 carburetor, and Hooker Super Comp headers, it's a serious setup. Power is backed by a Torqueflite automatic transmission with reverse manual valve body and a 3,200-stall converter.
Out back, it runs a Herb McCandless-built 8 rear end with 4.30 gears, while a line lock system adds drag-race utility. The car sits on Weld wheels - 4-inch fronts and 8.5-inch rears - and the battery has been relocated to the trunk.
This Road Runner began life as a 383 car, but its heart now beats with a Hemi believed to be an original 1966 unit. The current owner purchased it in 2000 and has driven it fewer than 100 miles in the past 15 years. A new fuel pump was installed in 2024, and the sale includes the factory hood should the next owner want to return to a stock look.
Originally restored in Nevada in 1995, this Road Runner is a strong example of Mopar's muscle car era with a powertrain that has been thoughtfully built for performance while retaining period-correct character.
