Does the 72 V code have the door sticker intact with V on it?

Too bad you couldn't track down some paperwork or the original owner or something.......

Besides...can you really prove without a doubt that a 72 V code was actually made....that the VIN/tag is not an error? what does galen say on it? surely a car like that has been eyeballed by the guru?




Galen is the one who lead me to the car when it came up for sale. It is the real deal. No question.

TO all those saying "Sell the superbird to restore the Runner" I pose this to you...

The superbird, by the OP own admission, is a driver.

So, you would sell the car you can drive to restore a car that clearly is too valuable to drive once restored.

I'll take banging gears in a mopar over standing next to a show car anyday.

But thats just me... everyone has their own thing I guess...

More importantly, what does the owner want to do??

EDIT: Are there any parts that would go with the car to restore? Stuff is big bucks and would increase the value.


I used to care but....... things have changed

That picture was a flashback for me, my Challenger engine compartment & trunk were both just like that... The was also lots Raccoon feces.... It was a crappy car...


Interesting car in the WIW forum.. Funny that Dan has to peddle his car here too... I thought he already had a buyer...

Just wondering, but could this 72 be a vin misprint? i mean how can only one leave the factory? I know it would be a long shot for the tag and vin to be mis-stamped.........but shouldn't this car be mega-dollar?




Part of the reason there is so few 72 6 pack cars is that they were going to offer the engine in 72 but then it couldn't meet emission rules for 72 so they pulled it very early in production.

here,'s another tag

Does the G in The VON have any significance?



The G is for a Factory sunroof car.

This does not bode well for Dan--he's been on a desperate search for that ONE buyer out there.

What if that ONE buyer likes the RoadRunner?

I heard a story of a guy who lived in Hawaii. He ordered a six pack brand new.Upon delivery his car was a 4-barrel GTX option. I wonder how many people had this happen out of the 672 GTX cars

Seems like that would have (and maybe did?) resulted in some dealer installed 72 six packs???

There is, or was, a close twin in Port Orange FL. Original owner, RR/GTX, GA4, N96 and the twin stripes, bench seat, 4spd.

I must say, I do get a kick out of this 'WIW'...

Can someone intelligently explain to me, how you come up with a value for a one of one (at this point) car, that, while worth more than Larry paid for it 17 years ago, has no particular value today? $20K, $40K, 150K...really? An object is only worth, what someone is willing to pay for it. Period.

The only true test to see what this car is 'worth', is a NO RESERVE auction, and let the fur fly. Larry may, or may not want to do this, but that will show, in any market, what THAT market is willing to pay. Again period.

I do have the ad looking for a V-code car. I want to thank those of you who have sent me emails letting me know about Larry's ad. I have recently talked to him, and I also talked to him several years ago about the car. Larry has no more of an idea as to what the car is worth, anymore that any of you, Galen Govier or the King of Spain does for that matter. This one is really subjective. As someone who has been into Mopars for a very long time, it saddens me that this 'hobby' has become a business, because those of us who truly like these cars get sickened by all the arm-chair stock brokers looking to cash in on stuff like this, but...there's not much I can do about that. Let's see what happens here...

If the '72 Road Runner was mine, I would sit down and figure out what it would cost to restore it properly. Then double that number. Hopefully the Superbird could be sold to cover that number. Sell the Superbird to finance the '72 resto and have some cash left over as a cushion if the restoration runs over budget.




There is no way I would sell a nice superbird driver in order to restore a non-numbers 72 bbody.........granted the 72 is rare, but all that makes it stand out is a V in the VIN......the superbird is known all over the world as the ultimate muscle car.......if single i would mortgage everything to get one to enjoy for a year or two...then recoup my money and have the memories!

Besides...can you really prove without a doubt that a 72 V code was actually made....that the VIN/tag is not an error? what does galen say on it? surely a car like that has been eyeballed by the guru?




Who are you trying to kid ,everything you touch ends up for sale and you come right out and say that is what you do right in your reply ...

The VIN tag as an error ?? , explain the fendertag then , if the fendertag had an E86 on then this scenario you keep trying to pass off would be more believable.

What happened , did you get beat out of this car in the past ?

Or he could try a dutch auction and pull the plug before the end

Seriously he asked a question on value? Why does he have to list it to sell WITHOUT a reserve, especially at this time of the year. That would be pretty risky. Now if he had to sell that would be different thing altogether.

Since you were looking who better to ask..."what would you pay"?
