Could this be one of the mid ‘70s best muscle cars.
If you ask a muscle car enthusiast what vehicle has had the most impact on the Mopar community, especially when you’re talking about pop-culture icons, they’ll tell you all about the Plymouth Road Runner. A massive V-8 engine, great looks, and a horn straight from the popular cartoon series, Road Runner and Wile E Coyote, all made this car a dastardly competitor on the muscle car market.

With all of this in mind, it’s easy to see how this was one of the more iconic cars of 1975 unrivaled by pretty much any automobile on the market in that time.
