Plymouth introduced the B-body Road Runner in 1968 stripped of all the frills of its brother, the top-of-the-line GTX. The concept of a low-price, freshly-styled car with a powerful engine capable of running the quarter-mile at 100-mph was brilliant marketing aimed squarely at younger buyers looking for a performance bargain. Key to the musclecar image was cartoon bird decals and the unique “beep-beep” horn. Standard was a 383-cid V-8, four-speed manual transmission, heavy-duty suspension, GTX-like hood bulges and an interior on par with a taxi-cab. With a base price of $2,896, this is one of 48,549 hardtop coupes built in 1969.

This blue metallic ‘Bird is fitted with the optional black vinyl roof, matching blue vinyl bucket seat interior, TorqueFlite automatic transmission, factory chrome road wheels and the standard 383-cid V-8. An aftermarket Pioneer stereo system has been installed. Paint and trim are noted to be in good condition.
