Plymouth Road Runner GTX (1972)
for sale

Price: US $28,000.00

Description:

Most MOPAR enthusiast probably know this but I will state it anyway on how the Dual Badge came about. After 1971 Plymouth dropped the GTX as a stand alone car line. In 1972 -74 the Road Runner came standard with a 340 engine.You could also special order a 318, 400 and a 440. When ordering a 440 power plant the Road Runner now became a Dual Badge name plate car- Plymouth Road Runner/GTX. In 1972 only 672 GTX packages were sold. Of that number 453 were automatics.This one came with a torqueflite 727 slap stick transmission, 8 3/4 rear axle with 3.23 gears The Plymouth Road Runner GTX was identified by the U code in the vin number. VIN NUMBERS (RM23U26192478)
This is a real 440 Road Runner/GTX, not a clone or tribute car. The car has its Vin Number and Fender Tag. I also have the two previous owners information and how to contact if you want to talk to them about the car . It still has the original drive train (engine-trans-rear end numbers matching) which has never been rebuilt or molested. The car has 118K miles on it. The car has the 440 engine (280HP), 727 torqueflite transmission, 8 3/4 rear axle with 3.23 gears. I bought this car in 2008 after a frame up restoration to the body was performed prior year. At that time the body and paint work were completely finished and new Legendary white interior, headliner, sunvisors and black carpet were installed. The car was painted in its original color FE5 (Rally Red) with PPG paint and 3 coats of clear lacquer top coat. I have had this car for over 6 years and replaced a laundry list of items. The list is endless and it is all documented with paid bills. Between 2009 and 2014 the following work was performed.
The interior of the car was removed and EZ Cool heat and noise reduction material was installed. See the pictures. The console was refinished and new wood grain overlay installed ( I also have a new slapstick shifter chrome and glass cover for the console). In September of 2014 the old rally dashboard was removed and a new rebuilt Rally dashboard, wiring harness, 150 mph speedometer, speedometer cable and correct Mopar steering wheel was installed by Bob Berry Mopars in Fairhope, Alabama. Bob also installed the new white canopy roof wit
h the correct chrome trim. Bob also refurbished the original rally wheels and the period correct
center hubs. B F Goodrich Wide Ovals are mounted on the rims. A new engine and A/C wiring harness were installed. At that time a new headlight wiring harness with inline fuse protection was installed having the headlights run directly of the battery not the alternator. (brighter running lights and no dimming while waiting for red lights). A new rear wing was added/ installed on the trunk. It has power disc brakes(complete brake job last year). Power steering (New in Jan 2015 pump, reservoir, lines and belt), alternator , new matched NAPA engine belts .New front control arm bushings, ball joints and tie rods, sway bars were rebuilt using a PST parts kit, Also changed and repacked all four wheel bearings and new U joints were installed. New reproduction period correct Mopar shocksinstalled. After the underneath work was completed the front end was aligned. Interior heater core changed and heater box was rebuilt with all new Detroit gaskets also replace the heater hoses. The chrome bumpers are original and in very good shape, the other chrome around the windows and windshield is all original and looks good but could use some refinishing for a brighter shine. The glass on all of the car is original from the windshield to the mirrors. It even still has the Chrysler air temp sticker for the cars that was equipped with air conditioning.The factory radiator was pulled in 2012 and sent to Texas for a complete overhaul and re-core to mopar 1972 specs and when re-installed with new top and bottom radiator hoses. Preston 50/50 antifreeze added.The oil has been changed three times since I have owned it and I use MOBIL ONE synthetic for high mileage vehicles, with WIX oil filter. The radio is original to the car and still works. The rear speakers have been changed, but I have the original rear speakers. They need to be re coned. I also have the frame on restoration pictures of the frame on body work and paint completed by the previous owner. It will go to the winning bidder of the car.
The Fender tag reads N86 R35 V9W 26 END

The FLAWS: The rear window has about a 4 inch scratch on the passenger side. The air conditioning system is all there and still uses Freon 12. It is not currently working because of a leak somewhere in the system. I have charge it with Freon 12 and the compressor runs and it cools for about 30-40 minutes, then the low pressure switch shutdowns the compressor. The heater needs a water heater valve switch and cable that is mounted on the right fender wall which control's the water flow direction of heater and A/C ($139.00 from classic air). Every now and then the speedometer acts up when you are above 70 MPH. I can't figure it out the speedometer was rebuilt and the speedometer cable was changed about 8 moths ago. The drivers side outside mirror has about a 5 inch scratch in the glass. The interior rear view mirror has a shadow in the glass. Driver side roof drip railing has a ding in it.
