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

1968 Road Runner '383'

Highly marketed as a 'Budget' Street Racer.

Target Area,

Returning G.I.'s from Vietnam.

A $3000 'No Frills' Street Performance Car.

If you read in to this. Many of the Plymouth GTX 'Sales and Marketing Men' did not want the 'Road Runner 383' to outrun the '440 GTX'.

So, they limited the 383/335 HP to a 'one only' performance engine with either 3.23 or 3.55 Gears 'only' for 1968.

Other '383 Engine Options' were shot down, as well as Factory Option 4.10 Gears.
