1972 PLYMOUTH ROAD RUNNER GTX – 1 of 219 produced
The Plymouth Road Runner is a mid-size car with a focus on performance built by Plymouth in the United States between 1968 and 1980. Plymouth made the GTX a Road Runner option in 1972 and it is considered a “gentleman’s muscle car”.
The 1972 Plymouth Road Runner GTX 440 is a classic American muscle car. Built off Plymouth’s body-on-frame chassis, the Road Runner was the company’s reimagining of the classic muscle car concept. A perfect blend of style and performance, the 1972 Road Runner remains one of the best-looking American muscle cars in the history of classic muscle cars. The major difference between the 1972 edition and the previous editions is the design of the exterior.
The upgraded and monstrous look of the 1972 edition was first introduced in 1971. Compared to earlier versions of the Road Runner, the 1972 model has a low body with a low center of gravity, and this helps reduce the risk of rollover when cornering at high speed. Plymouth matched its low front fender with a slightly raised rear bumper, giving it the perfect "muscle car look." The 1972 Plymouth Road Runner also added a unique grill shape to further enhance the beauty of the car. Anyone ordering a Road Runner with a 440 in 1972 received the GTX emblems on the side of the fenders and rear trunk lid.
The 440 – 280 hp engine was the basis for the Road Runner GTX and was available on Road Runners from 1972 to 1974. In the U.S. and Canada, Plymouth produced a total of 672 Road Runner GTXs. From that, 453 were automatic and only 219 were four-speed.
