In 1968 the Belvedere, along with the rest of Chrysler's B body cars, was reskinned with Coke bottle styling. The Belvedere II was dropped but a Sport Satellite was added to the lineup on the same sheet metal, and the new lightweight LA style 318 engine was introduced, remaining available throughout production. The Plymouth Road Runner was introduced as a low price, high performance alternative to the GTX, and Richard Petty won the Grand National championship in a Belvedere.
