Great news Mr. Larry. Here is a goal. 2012 Carlisle.. Let us know .. I think it's 1972's turn in the dealership theme of things next year. 
By the way, any pics of the 71 RR Drag Car?  
I never thought of that 40 years not a bad idea

Okay, I'm finaly cuaght up on this thread. I think it's a good choice keeping her. Now I'm not going back through this thread to quote who said it but, I agree 100% with putting a drive train in it and having some fun as is. I've owned a shiney Hemi car and an unrestored 440+6, both 71 Plymouth B-bodies. Believe me, you'll have way more fun, less $$ invested and get way more attention putting her back on the road as is. Heck you can always restore it down the road!!

Larry good to hear you made a decision. I have a statement around 1972 6BBL Road Runners from research I have done through out the years hunting for one of the two 72 4406BBL Road Runner.
I have seen reference to your Road Runner in this and other treads being referred to as a RR/GTX. Correct me if I am wrong, you had said the car never seemed to have evidence of GTX emblems on it. Being it is a 6BBL V-Code it would have to be a Road Runner and not a Road Runner / GTX. The GTX option in 72 referred to a 440 4BBL engine package and not a 440 6BBL engine. Good luck with your restoration keep us posted on progress. Hope to see it soon.
Actually if you look at chrysler paperwork it says a 72 roadrunner with a 440 is called a rr/gtx it does not state specific 4bbl. That is what most people think since they never saw a 6pack 72.
Larry
I have a question, when restoring your car do you plan to restore it as a Road Runner or RR/GTX?

It is known a 4BBL was never offered in a RR. Also the Pilot 72 6BBL RR never refers to the GTX name plate.
Do you think your RR was a RR/GTX? Interesting. I hope when you take it apart you can find out more info. Very intersting and historic Road Runner.
In 72-74 a 4bbl was offered in roadrunners. As far as the gtx emblems they were stick on so they were easily removed and I can't say I have looked that hard at that. I will beguine week though

I think he meant that the 440 4 bbl was not offered in the 72 rr and if you had one it was a gtx option on the 72 rr. The 340 and the 400 were both equipped with the 4 bbl. The Petty blue 72 rr that was on ebay had to be the gtx option as it had the 440, but he said i was a very rare rr. I am not sure if the gtx option in 72 was a code on the fender tag like the rr option on the volare but would make sense to be coded like that.
There is no code for a gtx option on a 72. If you ordered a 72 with a 440 they put gtx badges on it. That's all it is nothing more.

Correct 1972 Road Runner Engine options are 340 400 & 440+6BBL
U code = RR / GTX Engine 440 4BBL.
This has nothing to do with WIW. Larry at this moment you have the only example we can use as a reference. I want to thank you for answering these questions. I am very into the research of the 1972 V-Code Road Runners.

I can understand what Ralph is saying, since the pack was available in Road Runners and the 4bbl wasn't maybe it wasn't delivered with GTX emblems. Intresting 
Also I don't think any of the four 1972 6BBL (Charger - Road Runner) came with 4 Speeds. What do you know about this Larry or Tommy?

Awesome! 
. Wouldn't it be cool to have a little GTX reunion there? C'mon Larry lets get 'em together. It would be cool to get all the sunroof cars in one place. We can't let the A12 and T/A AAR guys have all the reunions. What do you think?
