?? What Is a Plymouth Road Runner?
The Road Runner was Plymouth’s middle finger to overpriced “fancy” muscle cars. They licensed the Road Runner name and horn from Warner Bros., stripped the car of frills, and added big horsepower under the hood. It was fast, cheap, and fun—a true street legend.
Its success was immediate. Over the years, the Road Runner evolved, but its reputation as a serious performance car never faded. The 1969 A12 440 Six-Pack, the ultra-rare 1970 HEMI convertible, and the 1971 high-compression monsters—each generation has something unique to offer.
