'Mellow Yellow' a nice car,,,,,,,,,,,and a nice song name by Donovan.

Chrysler-Plymouth was very aggressive with their print advertising back then,,,,,,and had a 'special promotion' for Road Runner owners.

Participating Plymouth Dealers were supposed to offer $40 to any
Road Runner owner who won his class at a sanctioned drag strip, in both 68' and 69'.
As long as you brought documentation, the dealer was supposed to give
you a voucher that you mailed into Chrysler Performance.

Not sure how many Road Runners took up that promotion, or even knew about it.

Plymouth also would give you $250, if you you won Stock Eliminator at any NHRA Division Points Meet.

And, $400, if you won Stock Eliminator at the Winternationals, Springnationals or Indy Nationals.

Either the 383 or 426 Hemi....
