Plymouth Road Runner 1972 Description

1972 Roadrunner GTX, lap-stick, C. Very limited production, ne of 453. Title in my name.
The odometer reading 50,132, he actual mileage is around 93,000 (the actual mileage in 2005 was 88,000, ave proof).
In 1972 Mopar took the car of the year for 1971 and turned up the volume on the cool knob. They kept the great curves of the 1971 body and redesigned the nose and tail panel. Many Mopar gurus argue daily whether a 1971 Road Runner is better looking than a 1972 Road Runner. And most would agree that a 1972 has a cooler grill and taillight panel over the 1971. It actually simulate the jet-fighter coolness.
Original purchased from Montgomery Motor Co in MO in 1972.
Ground up restoration by Central Dodge Dealership in MA in 2008.
Matching number car. Fender tag, build-sheets, istory since day one.
