i am no expert but i do own a 72 roadrunner with a air grabber hood. they put 400 engine decals on the fenders above the side markers on 72 roadrunners with air grabber hood. my car had one when i bought it 20+ years ago. I am not sure about a 440 in the same spot on the gtx.
I think there should be a gtx emblem on the 1/4 panel above the lower body line by the door. i have seen road runner emblems in this spot also on gtx's. i don't know if it's correct. and i don't think there were any engine decals or emblems on the 1/4's at all.

I have never seen it and have had and looked at numerous cars that do not have them. Other than ones put on by owners or dealers when they were new.

stolen from Hamtramck-Historical when was this published? I just wonder how the timing of: NO more GTXs, NO more 440-6bbls - a car "scheduled" 3-1/2 weeks into production of the new model year, on a Saturday ..... hidden, I mean sent off to ASC for a sunroof conversion - just how exactly did someone make that happen?

71 and 72. The factory document was created for 71 but updated for 72 (look at the revisions at the bottom). If you notice the text under "view in circle Y" it indicates "typical 2/M-23 location" meaning 72 M-23.

No, that's the 440 sunroof car. The gold stripe was added (and the air grabber painted gold) at some time.

Good to see a engineering document showing it to be there! Thank you. Curious that is shows use white decals with E5 and both E5 cars pictured in this thread have black decals... Actually, I believe both cars pictured in this thread are EV2 (at least I know the white top sunroof car is).

Here is a 72 RR GTX restored by the McGlauphlans way several years back. It was featured as a "reference restoration" by mopar action magazine. Not the greatest picture, but if you can find an old back issue (i know I have it somewhere) it should have allot of detail items.
Its a 4spd, dana, console car.

Happy to read this about engine call outs. Over the years noticed inconsistent decal placement on these cars. Glad to see in print that the standard engines cars had NO external call-out. I think it annoys many 383 and 400 owners that the "little" 340 got call outs, but their cars didn"t!
In 71, the standard 383 cars did get callouts. For 72 the standard 400 did not.
