1969 Plymouth Roadrunner

HISTORY: The 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner (and its companion, the Dodge Super Bee - from here on, we'll talk about the Road Runner incarnation, since it was more common and first out the door) were fairly unique. Based on the heavy luxury cars in the B-body line, the Roadrunner was lighter than the compact-based 'Cuda. To make it both light and cheap, the Roadrunner had few amenities - forget about carpet, for example. Creature comforts gave way to sheer performance and cost considerations. Though the Road Runner was based on the Satellite, in 1970 it had a rallye dash and 150 mph speedometer, cost more than the Satellite, and had a lot less "frills" (depending on the year) in terms of carpet and insulation.
Road Runner took the concept to its natural conclusion, even eliminating hubcaps. The Super Bee, on the other hand, added the Ramcharger air scoop on the hood; unlike many scoops, this one was functional and standard with the deep-gulping Hemi. On the Dodge, the 3 2-barrel carb setup was named the Six Pack, and it put out 390 hp (gross). Keep in mind as you read this that horsepower meant more in those days when it came at lower rpms.
