1968 '340' Barracuda vs 1968 '383' Road Runner

The 1968 383 Road Runner was 'brilliantly' marketed by Plymouth.

* 'Econo-Racer'.
* '100 MPH in a Quarter-Mile'
* '14-Seconds In The Quarter-Mile For Less Than $3000'
* 'Plymouth Is Out To Win You Over'

Not that Plymouth was out to 'capture' any Stock Eliminator Meets, but
they did have an aggressive campaign by offering 'Cash Pay-Outs' if you
could prove that you won a Stock Eliminator Event at your Local Drag Strip.

Not a Class Trophy, but Stock Eliminator.

'Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday'

Most guys knew that the 383 Road Runner was better suited for the Street,
with some 'proven upgrades'.

D) Edelbrock Aluminum High-Rise Intake
E) Holley 780 CFM Vacuum Secondary Carburetor

suited for street driving.
