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. No manual four-speed for the 440s, though—those lucky enough to snag a 400 CID could still shift their way to glory. Legend has it, one rare bird came with a 318 block and a manual transmission, flaunting a Hurst shifter. This year, the 440s were strictly automatic—guess they needed a breather after all that horsepower!

Unleashing the Dodge Super Bee from 1968 to 1970 was like giving the Plymouth Road Runner a run for its money—within the same family! Chrysler’s cheeky move birthed the Super Bee, a muscle car with swagger, sporting a slightly heavier frame and a bee stripe that said, “Get out of my way!” With engines ranging from a modest 383 Magnum to the beastly 426 Hemi, it was the muscle car equivalent of a heavyweight boxer in a silk robe. Sales buzzed, then fizzled, but the Super Bee’s legacy stung on.
The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner was Plymouth’s way of saying, “Who needs fancy when you can have fun?” Built on the Belvedere platform, this muscle car cut the frills to bring you pure speed at a bargain price. Its minimalist interior featured vinyl mats and a floor shifter with no console, but it did boast the iconic “Beep-Beep” horn from the Road Runner cartoons—a sound Plymouth paid Warner Brothers handsomely for. Initially a two-door coupe, its success led to a hardtop version later that year.
The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner with a factory-installed 426 Hemi V8 is like the rock star of muscle cars—rare, powerful, and with a price tag that could make even a wealthy collector’s wallet weep.

The Hemi engine was the ultimate upgrade, combining performance with a touch of Mopar magic, bringing high-octane thrills to the everyday driver.
Meet “Agent Orange,” the Plymouth Road Runner that went from burning rubber on Detroit’s drag strips to cruising the streets with a 700HP makeover.

A 440 Six Pack engine built by a NASCAR-savvy pal from North Carolina. It’s the car that proves even legends need a little street cred. Just don’t ask it to go grocery shopping—it might wheelie off with your groceries!
