440'S Mopar Car Of The Month
for May 2011: My 1968 Plymouth Road Runner is an
original Canadian spec Hemi 2 door coupe, born on April 17, 1968,
and is equipped with the A833 4 speed and 3:54 Dana rear end. It is
all black, with the silver & charcoal interior. The only options
besides the hemi engine and other HD items which came with the hemi
is an AM radio. According to Galen's registry letter, it is the only
BB1 (black exterior) Canadian '68 Hemi RR known to exist, and one of
only 7 with the charcoal/silver interior & black exterior
combination. I purchased it in 1971, and have enjoyed many years and
about 135,000 miles of driving it. It went through a complete nut
and bolt restoration by Muscle Car restorations in 2007. It was
actually my daily driver at one time, and my wife also drove it for
shopping etc. She's afraid to drive it since the restoration! The
pic showing the car with mags was taken back in 1971 with me
driving.
