Great things were coming for Plymouth in 1968! On Today's Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we will be looking at the 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner Model Kit By AMT/ERTL. This is a model car unboxing video.
The beginnings of the fabulous 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner began with a hunch from the Plymouth sales force who suggested to the Plymouth product planners that a stripped down car with a big engine might be a good idea.
Taking this basic idea, the product planners did some market research and found that there were a lot of people who liked the big-engined muscle cars, but had limited funds to spend and could not always afford the GTX's and other Mopar muscle cars of the day. Consequently a goal was set for a $3000 car that could run the quarter mile at 100 miles per hour, a lofty goal indeed!
The Roadrunner with the 426 Hemi was the fastest street car avalible to the common man or woman in 1968. at full throttle the 425 horse power Hemi could run the quarter mile in less than 14 seconds. The 1968 roadrunner was a run-away success for Plymouth and Chrysler and paved the way for a long line of Mopar muscle cars with the famous bird decal pasted on the side.
The 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner Model Kit By AMT ERTL first came out in 1989 and was part of the newly created model kits designed to compete with Revell, Monogram, and Lindberg in their quest to build models on the same level as Tamiya Japan.
From 1989 to 2004, this kit had 5 re-issues in totally different boxes! (This one is from 2002) The mold took a rest from 2005 until 2007 when it reappeared in a "'60's Sizzle" box. The kit returned in 2013 under the Round 2 banner and has been reissued another 2 times (3 in total for Round 2) since then, the last one being available in 2017.
The 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner Model Kit By AMT ERTL includes a 24 piece factory stock 426 Hemi engine with another 7 optional engine parts including a "wedge" intake manifold with dual carburetors and your choice of velocity stacks or air filters.
The interior consists of 11 parts made up of separately molded pieces including door panels, dashboard, steering wheel, front and rear bench seats with head rests, floor pan and floor shifter.
The undercarriage, suspension and chassis are also amazing.
