After the ’74 model year, Plymouth and Dodge dropped their respective coupes and introduced new ones for 1975 that shared styling with the existing sedans. At the same time, the Satellite name was replaced with the Fury badge.

Through all of this, the Road Runner persevered, landing on the new B-body coupe for what would turn out to be a one-year-only, Fury-based Road Runner. Period literature exclaimed that despite the then modern-day consumer’s appetite for personal luxury, the Road Runner “…makes you forget that mistaken notion that cars can’t be fun anymore.” An attempt to back up this claim was substantiated by its availability only as a coupe sprinkled with special exterior appearance items, and access to a big-block engine.

Despite platform alterations, the ’75 Road Runner maintained the “RM21” digits in its VIN as seen on earlier models, showing that Plymouth still considered it more than a simple trim package. But in standard form, things under the hood weren’t very muscular. Factory sales literature boasted of a “husky 318 V-8” as standard, backed by a three-speed manual, which was the only manual transmission offered (and only with the 318). The LA-series 360 and B-series 400 V-8s were also available to Road Runner buyers, but contemporary road test magazines weren’t impressed—17.1-second quarter-mile times (with the 190-hp 400) were tragic for a model that led the performance charge just a few years prior.
