Vehicle Description
It's going to be harder to find a meaner example of Mopar muscle
than this. With the big 572ci Hemi V8 under the hood, dual quad
carbs, an upgraded suspension, a five-speed, and a wicked growl
from the exhaust, this 1972 Plymouth Road Runner is the fiercest
bird around.
This is a nice color for a car like this. The main color holds
close to 1972's Silver Frost Metallic, but it's a more modern
application. So the deeper tone sets the performance mood, and the
clearcoat luster lets the sun highlight the straightness of the
sheet metal. Plus, there's the right touch of a dark side with the
dark grille that draws attention to the mean front overhang, deeply
tinted windows, and this also has the cool black stripe that runs
up the side to show off the thick C-pillar before running over the
top. They also left you the right hints of brightwork that can show
off some intimidation, like the imposing chrome bumpers, hood pins,
and large dual exhaust tips. And the US Mags alloys offer some
serious shine while also allowing you to fit the best in modern
performance tires.
The black accents of the exterior get you ready for the all-black
interior. It feels very inviting with the upholstery, dash,
carpeting, headliner, and door panels all having the fresh feel of
a solid investment. And you'll appreciate all the classic details,
like the smooth wood-like trim, and the dome light still greets you
when you open the door. And yes, the horn still can give you the
signature WB Road Runner BEEP! BEEP! They even made sure the
factory air conditioning controls now blow ice-cold with modern
R134a refrigerant. But what you'll like best is the true sports car
feeling of the high-back front bucket seats, Rallye-style gauge
package, power steering, upgraded tach, a center console that seems
to form around you, and hallmark Hurst pistol-grip shifter.
The '72 Road Runner was one of the last muscle car holdouts, and
you could still get the 440 big V8. That's a great motor, but it
was no match for the huge 572ci crate Hemi that's now been
installed here. It's said to be enhanced and fortified with
terrific components like Eagle H-beam rods, diamond dome pistons
with 10.75:1 compression, a roller cam, and Indy SR aluminum heads.
This is topped off with dual Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors on
an Indy high rise intake. And it exhales with authority as long
tube headers that feed a growling dual exhaust. The full package is
claimed to make an estimated 770 horsepower! But this mean machine
also has the right supporting components to be a solid runner. This
includes a large aluminum radiator, dual electric fans, a March
serpentine belt system, an MSD pro billet distributor, and the
battery moved to the trunk for better weight distribution. This is
a big power advantage over stock, and so they upgraded you to a
five-speed manual transmission to give you the best control over It
all. As you look underneath, you can see a fully upgraded
suspension with tubular front arms, a triangulated four-link rear,
subframe connectors, and adjustable coilovers. And the Wilwood
four-wheel power disc brakes package lets you easily tame this wild
Road Runner.
Complete with build receipts, this is your chance at one of the
most fun and ferocious Mopars out there. So don't miss out, call
