Vehicle Description
Take the 1972 Plymouth Road Runner - one of the most menacing
designs of the muscle car era - and fill the engine bay with
serious 440 six-pack power. It doesn't get any better, right?
Actually, yes. It's when this same car has all the right features
from four-on-the-floor to an A/C interior. So check out all the
great features of this well-documented power-packed Mopar.
These early second-gen Road Runners really went for the sinister
side. The full front overhang makes the headlights look like the
eyes of a criminal lurking in the darkness. This one even came
directly from the factory with some of the best details, like the
optional hood pins and that big, bad Air Grabber hood that rises up
and looks like it wants to consume all the lesser cars as it
charges up from behind. But there's also a brighter side to this
coupe. The color looks like the 1972-correct True Blue, and it has
the modern clearcoat luster to attract attention. Plus, the white
painted hood goes with the Road Runner's hallmark side strobe
stripe. And this would be the final year those bright chrome
bumpers would hug the design so nicely. The matte black rear wing
really sets off the exterior of this car!
Open the door, and you'll find one of the best interiors you will
ever see on a Road Runner. Where most of these are dark-and-stark
budget classics, this car features a seriously attractive white
that coordinates nicely with the exterior accents. And the factory
wood appearance paneling really makes sure that this budget Road
Runner had quite a premium appearance. This up-market feeling
continues with nice factory features, like the power windows, AM/FM
radio, cruise control, and rear defrost. Even the air conditioning
is blowing cold thanks to an upgrade to modern R134a. So this is
quite a luxurious Road Runner! But more than just coddle you, it's
a true driver's machine. The center console and dash are built
around you. There's a three-spoke steering wheel with the cartoon
character on the center horn, and yes, this really does go BEEP!
BEEP! And that iconic pistol-grip shifter is just calling out for
your right hand.
In 1972 the base V8 for these Road Runner was the 340 cubic-inch
unit. That's a great motor, but it was no match for the 440
available for a lucky few machines. So another one of the big
improvements to this coupe was a serious upgrade in the engine
compartment to the top dog V8. The investment in performance also
added a triple set of Holley dual-barrel carburetors for the
street-eating Six Pack. Because this is such an awesome package
they made sure to present it nicely in the engine bay. It all looks
great - from the crisp hoses, to the proper air topper that
announces the beastly carb setup. And it's all been given a proper
service earlier this summer to keep it running and feeling good.
The original four-speed manual transmission was built to take this
kind of power, and it gives you complete control of the enhanced
brutish symphony that comes out the dual exhaust. Plus, with power
steering, meaty Cooper Cobra tires, and power brakes w/discs up
front, it's easy to harness this Road Runner.
The sale come with the original window sticker, factory buildsheet,
bill of sale, warranty card, owner's manual, and title
documentation. This is a Mopar that's coming off of long-term
ownership. So it's the well-presented, well-documented, and
well-loved muscle machine you've always wanted. Call today!!!
