i am no expert but i do own a 72 roadrunner with a air grabber hood. they put 400 engine decals on the fenders above the side markers on 72 roadrunners with air grabber hood. my car had one when i bought it 20+ years ago. I am not sure about a 440 in the same spot on the gtx.
I think there should be a gtx emblem on the 1/4 panel above the lower body line by the door. i have seen road runner emblems in this spot also on gtx's. i don't know if it's correct. and i don't think there were any engine decals or emblems on the 1/4's at all.

I have never seen it and have had and looked at numerous cars that do not have them. Other than ones put on by owners or dealers when they were new.

stolen from Hamtramck-Historical when was this published? I just wonder how the timing of: NO more GTXs, NO more 440-6bbls - a car "scheduled" 3-1/2 weeks into production of the new model year, on a Saturday ..... hidden, I mean sent off to ASC for a sunroof conversion - just how exactly did someone make that happen?

71 and 72. The factory document was created for 71 but updated for 72 (look at the revisions at the bottom). If you notice the text under "view in circle Y" it indicates "typical 2/M-23 location" meaning 72 M-23.

No, that's the 440 sunroof car. The gold stripe was added (and the air grabber painted gold) at some time.
