Dan, Im going to respectfully ask you to stop posting on every possible thread that you can about your Furys. Either sell them or dont, but for sale ads belong in the for sale section on Moparts. This is a thread about Moparlar's Road Runner, not you and your "cars."





Thank You Lt Dan

I'm beginning to pity Dan. He reminds me of the obnoxious kid who can't get enough attention. Every post he relates to his car.

THANK YOU! Without a doubt, the BEST post I've seen from a Mod so far. I said it before, the guy should be BANNED from the WIW section of Moparts. Never seen someone so in love with them self and their cars.

notice the '71 style door sticker ..... is this typical of an early '72 car?

What's the date code on the K-frame?

BTW




From what I've seen, they switched to the 72 style door VIN decals around January 72

When it comes to Roadrunners this 72 6/pk surely must be considered the Pintacle of all Roadrunners ever made, the greatest-grandest last one of them all. Hopefully someone will buy this irreguarded roadrunner immediately somehow and perform its well deserved proper restoration, instead of being Garaged forever...





I don't get this line of thinking....

All this car represents(in my eyes) is just a trickling on of the 71's..I just don't get the whole mystique about it.. That doesn't really mean too much to me, frankly. To put this car in a higher category than a bad ass A12 car or a hemi car in my eyes is just silly. But that's just me and my opinion. Yes, the lack of the orig motor hurts it.

I remember a few years ago I saw a 1967 Coronet440 hemi car that was a factory car. The guy was selling it for about the same price as a 67 Hemi R/T. No one was jumping to buy it. How rare was it? How about a 1 of 1. It doesn't get any more rare than that.

On the other hand cars like the 70 Charger500 Hemi car is very special. Its a 1 of 1. Its a promo car. The vin is 100001. That type of stuff makes it for me. This 72 car is unique, but doesn't hold the same "it" for lack of a better word.

Get as much as you can for it, its a rare car nontheless.

MB





To me, the combination of a 440+6 and a sunroof...a rare enough combination anyway along with the 72 build year make this the ultimate 71-72 B body....and the ultimate mopar for those of us who are partial to this body style

I love the 72 Road Runner the most out of the 71 thru 74 models. The rear and front bumper and grille area are by far the neatest styling in my opinion.

O-H-I-O once a Buckeye always a Buckeye!!!

I have followed this post from the beginning, and have watched the rhetoric build. It is a great post because it brings into play personal bias, rarity, supply and demand, documentation, urban myth, missing motor, last of an era vs the era was all ready dead, and on and on, all in one cool WIW. IMHO I say 50K, in today's market, using some of the sound reasoning in some of the previous posts. The criteria used to price rare & obscure cars is totally different(and hard to peg)than that of all other combinations.

I am not at all a Plymouth guy and never have been, although my first two cars were Plymouths, they both let me down. Luckily I found a Dodge and still have it, and a bunch more later I still prefer the high performance brand of Chrysler! Having said that, if I ever do buy a 'mouth it would be a 72 Road Runner! One of the best looking grills of all time, the sexxxy body, the cool air grabber, and the sunroof option ain't too shabby! Throw in the Six Pak, which is MUCH cooler IMHO than the troublesome Hemi, and that car has it all! Larry, you need half-a-dozen Darts?

The second question one should ask is what it's worth done? Are you giving up a lot in opportunity cost to sell it as is? I am with the others, sell the superbird and restore it correctly!

Hey Larry,

I have no idea what your car is worth but what a cool car. For years I heard of these 72 pack cars and to this day I have never set eyes on one. Most don't know it but I am a big fan of 72s. I feel I have collected some neat cars. While some may not agree I feel your car is the pinicle car of 1972 and is truly unique. I would love to know the history of the 5 known pack cars. Your car being a pack car with a sunroof is just awesome. I hope to see the car one day. Hopefully someone can do it up right for all to enjoy. Good luck to you

On a side note, I have a iron Six Pack manifold that I bought years ago from a guy in Jersey. It had been sand blasted but in its nooks and crannies and embedded in its pores is BLUE PAINT. It was the same price as any other manifold and I bought it to use. I don't think I gave it a second thought till I got it home and really looked at it. It doesn't have a trace of orange on it. Kinda corny I know but for me it is my little connection. It just sits on a shelf.

If you have to pay someone else to restore it, the most money to be made is selling it how it is right now. And with the used parts instead of NOS parts. Sell the NOS seperate.

If costs $60K to restore it to really nice detail, I don't see it being worth $60K more than it is right now.

Finacialy, better to keep the Superbird. The market is flooded with those. Not flooded with 440-6 sunroof cars, especially 72's!

I'd start by benchmarking value off of a 71 RR or 71 Charger R/T six pack sunroof. I think there are a few of those out there. What do you all think those are worth?

That 72 RR/GTX 4spd 440 4bbl sunroof car that sold for $121K is throwing a curve at me. The resto is OK, but not top level by todays standards. It's seems like a non typical selling price (IF it indeed sold for that much). That car without sunroof is no more that $40-45K.

There's a some good docs restored 68-70 Hemi cars you can buy nowdays for that money.

If you open it up to non #'s motor AND no buildsheet, you might be to touch a selection of 70 Hemi Cudas.
