1973 Plymouth Road Runner/GTX

 

History

 

The Plymouth GTX was introduced as the Belvedere GTX in 1967 by the Plymouth division to be a "gentleman's" muscle car. For 1972 through 1974 the GTX became an option package on the Road Runner.

 

The Plymouth Road Runner was a performance car built by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation in the United States between 1968 and 1980. In 1968. the first muscle cars were. in the opinion of many. 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 US$3000. Both goals were met. and the low-cost muscle car hit the street. The success of the Road Runner would far outpace the upscale and lower volume GTX. with which it was often confused.

 

The 1973-74 models received completely new sheet metal and had more conventional squared-up front-end styling and changes to the rear that more closely resembled the four-door models than the 71-72s. The restyling helped sales which were up 40% over the 1972 models.
