When Plymouth decided to build the Roadrunner it was in an effort to appeal to buyers who didn\u2019t have as much scratch as the next guy. That\u2019s one of the reasons many Roadrunners came barebones and sported few options. What the Roadrunner didn\u2019t lack was get-up and go, though. I can imagine that RacingJunk visitors reading this article today all have a slew of cars from the late \u201860s they would like to own. I know I do. The Plymouth Roadrunner is right near the top of that list.<\/p>\n

When mulling over which car to write about I happened across the vehicles you\u2019ll see here today. Every time I rediscover a muscle car I haven\u2019t written about it\u2019s like Christmas. Today is no different. Any person who has looked at buying one of these cars should know there\u2019s a few things that need to be looked at before pulling the trigger. If you\u2019re unaware as to what some of these things are then, well you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n
Roadrunner Vin numbers start with \u201cRM.\u201d Additionally the fifth number will tell you the engine size.<\/p>\n The original MSRP for a Plymouth Roadrunner was $3000 dollars in 1968. Today the average retail price is just over $28,000, up $25,000 from its debut price. These numbers fluctuate widely depending on condition, year of production, and options.<\/p>\n The Plymouth Roadrunner is a highly collectible car that was built during an illustrious time in American automotive manufacturing. If you\u2019re familiar with muscle cars than a Plymouth Roadrunner is probably on your short list. There\u2019s certainly plenty of options to choose from, no doubt.
