  Wow, simply the most ridiculous post I have seen in 14 years on this site...
Besides skipping over the fury 6 pack posts, ( dont get me wrong , that would be a VeRY desirable car to own )
This is the first time ive tuned in for 2 nights in a row.
If it was a pink 72 cuda six pack post, itd be 29 pages by now.
Crush all the cudas / someday someone will regret not jumping on this car
I am actually enjoying this thread Andy, it was the post above mine that was totally absurd

Ok, take me out and tie me to a pole and shoot me.  Its not often a car like this comes along, right? Honestly does anyone know what the cars worth today? I wasnt trying to downgrade the car at all, its clear there is a different standard on the very rare mopars. I posted in the start its great to see this car, growing up a 72 v car was a myth many chased way before the internet was thought of.

It's a Mopar! Not a GM or Ford! One can easily verify on yhe VIN that its a HP car ordered with a certain engine. On your typical GM/Ford, everything had to be matching to help verify that it wasnt a regular non-HP car. Not req'd on our Mopars.
So matching motor isnt a huge make or break on this car since it would be be hard (not impossible) to fake this car.
THANKYOU! Now can we all stop using Chevrolet language; 'matching numbers'!

Ok Well here is the story I got from the guy I bought the car from. He was swap meet parts guy, He was at a junkyard/Used car lot and he saw this car with an Air Grabber on it. So he talked the guy into selling him the hood. While he was at the swap meet someone was looking at the hood and he mentioned that it came off of a 72 6 pack car. Apparently that person must have known about them since he started asking him all kinds of questions about where the the car was. That raised the curiosity and he didn't tell him and he started researching it himself found out what it was ans went back and bought the car and put the hood back on it. This was sometimes around 81-82. The car currently has 73000 miles on it. So I would bet it got driven and the engine gave up and it went to this car lot.
For reference I bought the car in Dunn, NC

And it may have quit running, got sold to the junk yard someone spotted the six pack and bought the engine.
The engine could still be out there.

That's a good deal Bill, Larry will probably be thrilled to know.

'Matching numbers' was never a term associated with Mopars until the Chevy dealers decided they could make a buck off them in the mid/late 80's. Mopars either have their original engine or do not.

I don't post much,just lurk and read,but this thread spikes my interest so with everyone joining with opinions,here is mine. As I have been into Mopars,some of them which I never would consider have grown on me enough to want and purchase.Hence,my user name,which I bought back in 02 actually from here. As well as the 71,72 RR body style,which in the beginning never liked,but year after year going to Carlisle,changed my opinion on and now wanted one of those. Although the one I have is not one of the couple V code 72's,is still a 72 RR GTX,N96,all #'s car which still has a low production number compared to other years.I am one of the ones in it for the love of the hobby not the investment. It's stupid to not think anyone would'nt want their car to have its orig #'s motor.In this case with Moparlars 72 V code,I think not at all as it is still the car proven by its vin,and fender tag,and to me is a very rare piece and deserves a quality rotiss resto. I am def not a person in favor or like the B-bodys with sunroofs,and almost refuse a car for having it,as the trunk lid luggage racks!!! In this case ,it is what it is.To many people are wrapped up in the Hemis,A12's,winged cars,etc as being "the only thing to own" following the crowd. I enjoy and appreciate alot of 60's,70's cars regardless if they are worth $500 or $500,000.Would walk right by a row of restored Hemi cars to go look at a survivor 383 71 Superbee. Most of people being a collector comes from wanting what someone else can't have or very few will. With that,Moparlar, I'd be selling the Superbird and keeping the 72 V code all the way,there's 1908 of those and so far,only one of yours!!!!!Plenty of birds out there to buy later. Be real nice having it totally restored,would be a proud car to have!!! I offered mine up for sale as I was not going to get to it for a couple years,with this thread and writing what I wrote,I might pull it off the market as it's not in my way,and it would be hard for me to replace that again some day. My  ,I think you're crazy to sell it to keep something that is not impossible to find again.

As is, I would put a price of around 40-45K. Maybe 50 if it comes with all of the NOS parts he has stocked up. Finished, I would value it at 125-150K. Rare and desireable don't always intersect, but in this case they come very close. If there are 11 '71 Hemi Cudas converts and only one known '72 440+6 RR with desireable options, it makes you stop to think hard. BIG money collectors drool over the opportunity to own something nobody else does and I also think this body style is just beginning to get the respect it deserves so there could be alot of upside in this car even at a 50K buy-in.
