1973 Plymouth Road Runner
The 1973-74 models had more conventional squared-up styling with the front fenders slightly raised above and jutted forward of the hood. 1/4 mile times were getting close to the 16s and further away from "musclecar" status. The base engine for the 1973-74 models had dropped down to Chrysler's workaday 318 CID V8; however, dual exhaust was still standard. After 1972, no 440-four speed cars were built. The 400 was the biggest engine Plymouth offered with the four speed, which could also be had with the 340(1973)and 360(1974) motors. The 440 was still available for 1973 and 1974, but only mated to the 727 TorqueFlite automatic. Production:
