1968 Plymouth Road Runner

Mid-Year changes;
* The Hurst Shifter replaced the Inland Shifter

* A Hardtop version was added, to go along with the Pillared Coupe.

Mid-Year Option;
* The under hood air induction package.


This unit was an option on both the 383 and 426 Hemi in 1968.
Since it was a mid-year option, very few were ever ordered on the car, as
many Dealerships were unaware of the addition.

A black fiberglass molded unit was mounted on on the under-side of the
power bulge hood.
The ductwork straddled the air-cleaner.
And an 'orange painted' special oval-shaped air cleaner with open sides was used, on both the
single-carbed 383, and dual-carbed 426 Hemi.
A control-knob was installed under the dash panel, and the cable operated unit
was driver controlled to open or close the flapper panel installed on the
under side of the hood, feeding fresh-air in from the hood's power bulge vents.

The under hood air induction system option cost; ($55.30)
