Little Blurb from April 5th 1968:

Plymouth's Road Runner, a stripped-down version of the Satellite, which, with the addition of the dome-shaped 426-cu.-in. "Hemi" engine,* covers the quarter mile in a blistering 13.5 sec. from a standing start, hits a top speed of 107 m.p.h. "Beep-beep" goes the horn, duplicating the sound made by the cartoon character, as a warning to slowpokes that the Road Runner is on its way. Cost: $3,610.

> Ford's Carroll Shelby Cobra GT-500, a modified Mustang with heavy-duty suspension and transmission, hood scoops that ram extra air directly into the carburetors, and a new 428-cu.-in. engine that will be available next month on Ford's Mustang, Torino and Cyclone and Mercury's Cougar as well. Padded roll bars and shoulder harnesses are standard on the Shelby Cobra, as well they might be: the $4,200 car winds up to 150 m.p.h.

>American Motors' AMX, a $3,245 sports coupe on the market for less than a month. A 290-cu.-in. engine is standard, but another $123 rates a 390-cu.-in. replacement. Testing an extra-powered AMX, Land Speed Record Holder Craig Breedlove got the car up to 170 m.p.h.
