When I bought the car about eight months ago it had a single exhaust and it had an exhaust tip very similar to the Challenger's tips. Thanks everyone for your compliments!

My Dad sold Plymouths in the mid seventies and I specifically remember these exhaust tips as a kid. For some reason he brought a lot (4 or 5) of these '75 Road Runners home as demos and I remember thinking (as a kid) that they must be way faster than the last ones ('74s) because they had 4 exhaust pipes instead of just 2! I remember that most had the "tunnel" decal on the trunk, don't remember the hood blackout treatment, and I'm thinking that most were 400s, but that was a long time ago... I'd love to find a nice survivor '75 like this some day as they bring back good memories...

I had never seen a nice 75 Roadrunner survivor for sale so I thought why not. It is really a nice driving car. I do believe if your dad's demos had dual exhaust they would have to be a HP 400. I think the regular 360 four barrel and the regular 400 four barrel on the 75's were single exhaust. I think you could get a dual exhaust on the 360 but with an air pump so it didn't need converters? I am not real sure on that last bit of info if someone knows more please let me know. I know if you look at the spec books from 75 it looks a little confusing about engine choices etc.

I may be wrong on this, but in Canada I seem to recall that Chrysler didn't install cats 'till a few years later than the US due to our different pollution laws. Don't know the specifics, just recall hearing that at the time. Maybe this could have had an effect on which engines had duals or not (?), but again I don't really know for sure, as I wouldn't consider myself an expert on these cars.

You could also get a dual exhaust 400, 4 bbl but it had a smaller gas tank. None of the Canadian cars had cats in 75 and I don't think the US ones did either but I could be wrong. All 75 GM's had cats though I think. Sheldon

He wanted to put a 360 in it but his Mom said "no, it runs just fine". One night he kept it in low gear running as fast as possible trying to blow it up. When we got back to the house, there was an orange glow from under the hood, the manifolds were glowing cherry red, but that was it. I told him it didn't make enough power to blow up.

The quarters were shot. They flapped in the wind. I think it had the cool trunk graphic though. It was handed down from his parents and had never been off the road. I still saw it around in the late 90's but there wasn't much left.
