The first-generation Plymouth Road Runner got to see the daylight as a 2-door coupe back in 1968, with a hardtop version added later the same year. A convertible option was introduced in 1969, but Plymouth sold only a little over 2,100 units during its first year on the market. Ten of them are said to be powered by the hefty 426ci (7.0-liter) Hemi engine.

The same V8 is putting in motion the 1969 hardtop we have here, and best of all, it’s exactly the engine Plymouth installed when it built the car 52 years ago.
This Road Runner is a barn find that’s getting a second chance, and the folks over at Classic Auto Mall, who are now in charge of finding the car a new owner, claim everything is believed to be original.
