74 Road Runner 440 4spd Production Numbers?

All Roadrunner GTX's in 73 & 74 were auto's. The GTX "package" got you the 440 motor, trim upgrades, and a few other goodies. Here is a picture of my 74 which is currently for sale. The 74's are the rarest and the last year of the GTX package.

In my opinion the Chrysler rational is that the (73/74) cars with the 440 and GTX labeling were meant to be identified as the ultimate musclercar package (drivetrain wise) of the model year. A marketing issue. Since Plymouth had the 318 as standard, offered the 340/360 as optional, as well the smogger 400 which was below its potential in stock form, the 440 was top of the food chain.

OK, I'll ask....I see two pics...One has the GTX script above the engine call-out and one has the script below the engine call-out...Did they come either way ???

The picture of the white hood above, having the "GTX" badge below the call out does not look to be correct IMO. May be a "stick on" version, as the original badge used there was stud mounted requiring holes. On these cars I have always seen the badges, or the holes where the badges should go, above the call out.

This is 100% original, even the rust.GTX is above.

What's the story with that car? Looks like a 73. Black? Any details? My black car (above) is a 73 as well. Going to be restored some day?

The owner was nice to talk to...Original 440 trans, 8 3/4 rear, still in there...Engine bay is original with the factory vapor separator still on there !!! White interior with power windows...The drivers door 4 way switch had a clear plastic cover over it...Did the factory have that ??? I'm guessing so...And now for the bad news...IT'S SHOT !!! quarters,inner extensions, trunk, ,frame, doors, fenders,floors, are all completely rusted and the torsion bar crossmember is rusted off and laying on the ground !! But it's a good teaser to look at...The guy wanted stupid money for it years ago...I was thinking about snagging it for the drivetrain when I was building mine but it just did'nt seem worth it...Now if I was a dishonest guy and wanted a GTX... ..But that is'nt me... ...Besides, mine has a factory sunroof...

Something about the BB that makes the cars. Probably the TORQUE! LOL!

Mine is a U code and had a blue interior. It was a complete car but everything was worn or shot. Non original motor. Took parts from 10 cars to put mine back together. Missing build sheet and tag. So the only pedigree docs I have is vin tag and door label. Who knows my build sheet might be in that one in the field! Black and white combo looks great. I've seen RAV440s car but I believe it was originally B5 and is being redone.

PS-Nice ride!

4 speed was not offered in a 74 Road Runner with a 440. 727 only in the 440 cars

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet. In 73 the B bodies went to the rubber isolated K frame as well as the isolated perches on the diff. And all the springs had large front bushings to increase the smooth ride too.
Chrysler was smart enough to equip the 440 4 speeds with a Dana 60 from 67-72 so they wouldn't have warranty claims from guys dumping the clutch. And they had smaller front spring bushings to lessen the isolation.
No Dana's after 72 therefore no 440 4 speeds.
And even if they had offered a 4 speed, would they have done the whole rubber isolated deal on a Dana? Nope
