In 1968. the first muscle cars were moving away from their roots as relatively cheap. fast cars as they gained options. Although Plymouth already had a performance car in the GTX. designers decided to go back to the drawing board and reincarnate the original muscle car concept. Plymouth wanted a car able to run 14-second times in the quarter mile and sell for less than $3000. Both goals were met. and the low-cost muscle car hit the street. Paying $50. 00 to Warner Brothers to use the name and likeness of their Road Runner cartoon character (as well as a "beep. beep" horn. which Plymouth paid $10. 00 to develop). and using the Chrysler B platform as a base. Plymouth set out to build a back-to-basics muscle car. Everything essential to performance and handling was beefed-up and improved; everything nonessential was left out.
