Plymouth Road Runner

Designed to thrill, the Road Runner burst onto the scene in 1968 and delivered raw power at a reasonable price. It flaunted a 383-cubic-inch V8 engine, besides adding a Warner Bros’ iconic beep-beep horn as a fun nod to the cartoon bird it was named after. What’s better than speed wrapped in humor?
Plymouth Barracuda

In 1964, the Barracuda started the pony car race even though the Mustang got the credit. Its distinctive wraparound rear glass made it an engineering marvel. By 1970, the HEMI ‘Cuda roared with 426 horsepower, solidifying its status as a must-have classic for speed enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Plymouth Fury

The Fury became a cultural icon when it brought Steven King’s macabre vision to life in “Christine,” but its fame didn’t stop there. Launched in 1956, it was the more refined cousin of the Belvedere. The “Golden Commando” V8 engine pushed boundaries to prove Plymouth could provide luxury just as well as adrenaline.
Plymouth GTX

A powerhouse wrapped in sophistication, the GTX arrived in 1967 as the “gentleman’s muscle car.” GTX featured a 440 Super Commando engine and oozed luxury with bucket seats and chrome accents. Its beauty wasn’t skin-deep either, as it demanded respect with its raw performance and bold styling.
Plymouth Belvedere

Drag racing fans know the Belvedere for one reason: the legendary 426 HEMI. By 1964, it had become a staple on the track to earn trophies and hearts alike. The car’s “suburban dad” look belied the beast underneath, which made it a sleeper hit among collectors who love to live the history of horsepower.
Plymouth Superbird

Superbird took aerodynamics to new heights with its towering rear wing, which was fabricated specifically to dominate NASCAR. Introduced in 1970, it housed a 440 cubic-inch V8 engine that could munch miles so fast that rivals were left in the dust. Today, it’s a collector’s treasure, loved for its outrageous design and racing pedigree.
Plymouth Duster

The Duster proved you didn’t need a hefty price tag to enjoy a muscle car. This compact coupe, released in 1970, delivered a punchy performance with its 340-cubic-inch engine. Practical yet thrilling, it became the Everyman’s muscle car, reminding auto enthusiasts that muscle cars were supposed to be about simplicity.
Plymouth Prowler

With its futuristic retro design, the Prowler turned heads in the late 1990s. Though its 3.5-liter V6 engine surprised traditional Plymouth fans, its open-wheel look paid a bold homage to 1930s hot rods—those wild muscle car precursors. Enthusiasts admire the unique and unconventional charm of this model.
Plymouth Scamp

Compact but full of personality, this “fun-sized” muscle car debuted in 1971 as a stylish twist on the Valiant. Scamp’s simple mechanics meant that it was reliable, while the optional V8 engines offered the opportunity to take things up a notch. It was loved for its affordability and charm, which still endures as nostalgia in many garages.
Plymouth Turismo/Duster 2.2

The 1980s saw Plymouth experiment with sporty hatchbacks, and the Turismo/Duster 2.2 stood out. This agile compact combines fuel efficiency with striking design features. Its turbocharged versions also increased power output and earned it a spot in the hearts of drivers who value quirky performance classics.
