Rare Restored Road Runner GTX 440 Automatic
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.
