Description

  The 1972 Plymouth Road Runner GTX boasts a bold and aggressive

  look. Its sleek, aerodynamic lines are accentuated by a distinctive

  front grille and muscular stance which is further enhanced by wide

  tires and colorful detailing, giving the car a true muscle car

  look. You may not have heard of a Road Runner GTX, and you are

  likely not alone in that. Anyone ordering a Road Runner with a 440

  in 1972 received the GTX emblems on the side of the fenders and

  rear trunk lid. As for rarity, only 672 were produced in 1972.

  This particular example has received a meticulous restoration

  that's left it in stellar condition today. Ground up restored to

  stock standards and highlighted by a slick Tor-Red paint job,

  stylish interior, and 440 V8 big-block, this is certainly one of

  the cool Mopar!

  The color on this '72 is its factory original Code EV2, Tor-Red! It

  looks closer to orange than it does any shade of red, but it's a

  high-impact shade that is the perfect fit for this real Mopar

  muscle car. It's obvious that a lot of time and money went into the

  paint and body, with a lot of prepping and high-end workmanship

  resulting in a bright shade that's still in great form today.

  The all-new fuselage styling of the 2nd generation B-Body gave the

  Road Runner a big leg-up on the competition and the swoopy design

  definitely looks the part of a Mopar muscle car. The wrap-around

  bumpers that circle the front end and taillights were a defining

  feature, and painting them to match the bodywork gives this car a

  more modern and somehow more sinister look without erasing its

  identity. As you'd expect from a restoration of this caliber, all

  the finishing touches have been looked after - the white decals

  look razor sharp, clean rubber trim surrounds all the windows, and

  the body lines are as precise as can be, allowing the doors, hood

  and decklid to open and shut smoothly. Louvers over the back glass

  are a period-perfect touch and with its rear wing, big dual

  "machine gun" exhaust tips, and correct Road Runner, GTX, and 440

  badges, this Mopar is a beauty.

  The two-tone, cloth-and-vinyl upholstery on the seats inside this

  Road Runner GTX have been beautifully reupholstered back to an

  excellent standard. High-backed bucket seats straddle a contrasting

  black-and-woodgrain center console and beckon you to climb inside

  to assume the driver's position where, as you grab hold of the

  stock steering wheel, you'll see a woodgrain instrument cluster

  full of clear factory gauges. A black dash pad runs across the top,

  there's a bit more woodgrain further down that helps warm things

  up, and between the plush black carpets on the floors, the bright

  white door panels at the flanks, and the taut white headliner

  above, everything in the cabin was attended to during the build.

  The rear seats look completely untouched and offer plenty of room

  for friends, while the trunk houses a full-size original spare tire

  and jack set.

  The beautifully detailed engine bay looks pretty much exactly like

  it did when it left the factory, with Corporate Blue engine paint

  covering the powerful 440 big-block V8. Nestled neatly in between

  the Tor-Red inner fenders, the block is topped with a stock,

  dual-snorkel air-cleaner adorned with proper 440-Four Barrel

  stickers. With a Holley 4-barrel carburetor feeding it fuel and

  air, the engine's running great, with plenty of horsepower and a

  healthy torque curve that helps it get-up-and-go in a flash. A

  throaty dual exhaust system means this 440 sounds wonderful, and it

  pairs with a 3-speed automatic A727 Torqueflite transmission that's

  shifting with slip-free precision today. One look underneath and

  anyone can instantly see why this Road Runner GTX needs mirrors

  when it's being shown, with painted floorpans and fresh components

  everywhere you look. Power front disc brakes help the car stop on a

  dime, while power steering makes navigating this rare Plymouth a

  breeze as it cruises on a set of 15" original Plymouth wheels

  outfitted with period-perfect Goodyear G60-15 bias-ply tires.
