1968 '340' Barracuda vs 1968 '383' Road Runner
OK Mr. Body EE,
Besides owning many Mopars,,,,,,
Here is some Mopar History,
When Plymouth introduced the 383 Road Runner in October 1967, the Sales Department
wanted to offer an Optional 'Super Road Runner 383' with 3.91 Gears, but the GTX Sales
Department halted that in fear that the 'Super 383' Road Runner would outrun the 440 GTX.
The Chrysler Performance Sales Departments were fighting with each other.
When racing in late-1967, the 383 Road Runner found itself classed in NHRA B/S or B/SA,
competing against the 440 GTX cars.
