Shoutout to Gateway Classic Cars for the drool-worthy images.

Not just for the drag strip, these Coronets were available to the public, making them the unicorns of the muscle car world. Want to see one? Click the link and drool over those images!

The ’74 Plymouth Road Runner marks the final chapter of the second generation, revving up nostalgia with engine choices from the modest 318 small block to the mighty 440 CID big block.
