1968 Plymouth Road Runner

[Paul Ceasrine]

Mr. M 68,

You are correct, my error.

The Road Runner was equipped with an Edelbrock 'casting' that was
supplied by Chrysler....

In October 1967, when building the 68' '426 Hemi' Road Runner, it was to be classed in SS/B,

Until the NHRA 'massaged' the Super Stock Classes for the upcoming
1968 season.

The Road Runner would run in SS/C for 1968, but I don't recall them ever running the car in that NHRA Class in 1968..

You'll find some very cool circa 68-70 Road Runner picts amongst other cars in the Johathon Russell photo collection.

Amen to that! Can't help but think too the car is sitting at a gas station where the owner works to fund the upgrades....
