I wonder why the center of the universe isn't posting lately??? Hope he's OK.



I think he was scolded by a mod for turning posts like this into discussions about his cars. Probably be best not to try to bait him.
BTW, this is one of the most interesting cars I've ever heard talked about here on Moparts. I hope to get to see it sometime here in the Chicago area! My best wishes toward its restoration!
I'll go back to lurking now......

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.




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.




See I never looked at it that way. To me 72 Roadrunners were available with the 400 standard and the 340 440 4 bbl and 440 6 bbl were optional. If you ordered the 440 you got GTX emblems. Since they are all RM code they are all roadrunners. Just some got Some emblems. There was no seperate code for it. I seem to remember factory paperwork that says that all 440's got GTX Emblems I am going to look for that tomorrow at work

As far as 4 speed you could not get a 440 6 bbl in 72 with a 4 speed that is part of the paperwork also.

Here is the paperwork on 440's becoming RR/GTX.

What's on your passenger side dash insert? 72 GTX's also got the GTX badge there.

I did not know that. I parted out a largely unmolested but very rusty 72 RR/GTX that had the GTX insert. I guess someone could've changed it early on though.

That's interesting since my 72 RR/GTX also has the GTX emblem on the dash insert. I always thought someone had changed it at some point in the past but maybe the plant used up the dash emblems that were left?

Could have been an early VS late thing. When was your car built? From what I've seen on original cars they mostly came with the road runner on the dash...but I don't know 72s as well as 71s

Congratulations Larry for making the decision to restore the 72! You're doing the right thing. Just please start a build thread on it. That car will be a jaw dropper when done..

I looked in all 3 of my 72 parts books today and none of them show a GTX nameplate for the dash.

that book could of been already printed
before they even thought of making your car.
like alot of things in manufacturing, i would suspect it would be a supply and demand type thing more then anything else.
