The 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner were fairly unique. Based on the heavy luxury cars in the B-body line (Belvedere / Satellite), the Roadrunner was lighter than the smaller 'Cuda. To make it both light and cheap, the Roadrunner had few amenities - forget about carpet, for example. Creature comforts gave way to sheer performance and cost considerations.
