Not to slight the non-RoadRunner guys out there, other B Bodies have a significance in their own right. The 68 RoadRunner however is always ranked very high as one of the most significant muscle cars of all time. As high as number 2 depending on what list you see, ranked behind the 65 GTO. The 68s claim to fame was big horsepower that everybody could afford. So I want to see if the Plymouth marketing gurus were right.
Let’s see what you paid, in what condition, in what year and how much you think you will spend on it while you have it, all years not just the 68.
I paid $1,250 in 1978, 64,000 miles, very solid car on a fresh overhaul (60 over on a nasty cam) ran like a striped assed ape in 78.
The original odometer reads ~101,000 now, the current restoration budget is $50,000 (unless of course I change my mind on a few details.)
I'm curious.
