Comprehensive restoration matching-numbers 426ci HEMI engine with dual 4-barrel
This 1968 Plymouth Road Runner hardtop is the recipient of a comprehensive restoration and is powered by its matching-numbers 426ci HEMI engine with dual 4-barrel carburetors and a 727 HEMI TorqueFlite automatic transmission with a column-mounted shifter, as well as an 8.75-inch Sure-Grip rear end with 3.23 gears. The rotisserie restoration was completed by Shawn Wilmot in Cambridge, MN. It is finished in Matador Red and rides on 15-inch painted steel wheels, dog-dish hubcaps and Coker red line bias-ply tires. The interior features a black vinyl bench seat and the uncommonly seen no-factory-installed radio. This Road Runner is in Galen's registry and is only one of 62 1968 HEMI Road Runner hardtops known to exist. It has a recent visual inspection report from Galen's Tag Service, LLC, and comes with a black-and-white copy of the Broadcast Sheet. Awards include Winner Circle First Place at 27th Annual Mopars in the Park in June 2011, Best of Show at Car Craft Summer Nationals in July 2011, HEMI Heritage Winner at Midwest Mopars in the Park in 2014 and Restored to Perfection Award at Car Craft Summer Nationals in July 2014. The car was also invited to and shown at the 2017 Concours d'Elegance of America at the Inn at St. Johns.
