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.

 I forgot how long you have had the 'bird, how often to you take it out nowadays? 
I have had the bird about a year longer than the 72. The bird was out about 5 times this year. I did drive it to the CMC thing at Pheasent run and a few cruise night here and there. But right now it really needs the carbs rebuilt.

Hi,
didn't Ron Slobe have another 72 v-code RR?
He had for sure a 72 Charger v-code
Carsten
Ron only had the charger, I was down there and took photos and video of it right after he died.

Does anyone remember the B5 72 Runner that use to cruise Gratiot (East Detroit area) back in 72-75? It was a V code air grabber auto car. I have not heard of it since...maybe another Chrysler Exec car?
I got excited when I was reading this thinking it was the car that I got a few years back. It came from that area! But, mine was a Road Runner/GTX with a four speed and no air grabber....at first, I thought I found a REAL 6-pack 72 car but later learned that the owner installed it just after he got the car.....But imagine my excitement!

That 72 looks like it could be easily restored to local show status...at least that would get it back out into circulation again. Has MPG or other magazines did an article on it yet?
Having possibly the only one ever made would've made me get on it in 17 yrs........if you are dead set on selling....ebay is the only way to expose it to all of the closet collectors who fly under the radar but have the bucks for a special car like yours. list it buy it now or best offer...it is free exposure to the world....

This has to be one of the most interesting WIW I have seen. I think it would be pretty hard to put a price on such a unique car. Besides being a SIX BARREL car it is optioned nicely as well. I would think your best bet would be to put it on ebay with a bunch of pics and see what the market says. I am sure there are a few people that  over it as I type. Put a big reserve on it and see if you get an offer that makes you want to move off of it. From the picture and your description it sure doesn't seem to need that much sheetmetal work its not gonna be the patchwork quilt that the other car mentioned in this thread is destined to be if it ever gets sold.....  Maybe a trade for a nice original or restored 70-71 Six Pack/Six Barrel B-body would be fair to both parties  Anyway tough decision, good luck! Is there any chance of you posting some more recent pics of the car? Dave

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?
