If you have been looking for a super cool Road Runner to restore, THIS IS IT!

From the factory this car is a Basin Blue, Air Grabber, 4-spd car. 

Check out some of the original options: 

N41 Dual Exhaust (not with car now)

N42 Decorative Exhaust tips (the original ones come with car and are decent)

N85 Tachometer

N96 Air Grabber Hood

V21 Tape treatment (Rare stripe package, a RM23 (Road Runner) must be N96 Air Grabber for this option. Also must have Deck lid V25 stripe.)

TB3 Basin Street Blue (referred to as Petty Blue in '72)

M21 Drip Rail Moulding

N23 Electronic Ignition

B2X9 Black vinyl bench with medium gray seat insert 

TX9 Formal Black Interior

E68 400 4bbl (original engine not with car)

D21 4 speed Manual (transmission, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, pistol-grip shifter, and crossmember all with car) 

From what I have read there were only 3828 RM23 400-4bbl cars in 1972. Of this small number only 906 were 4 speeds. If we could break that down by Basin Street Blue, then the interior package with gray seat inserts, then the Air Grabber, then the rare black tape treatment....this becomes one cool car to have!

I purchased this and a GTX from someone who had started the restoration process but decided not to finish the projects. As you can see in the photos the K-member was removed, rebuilt, painted, and re-installed. The door jambs, cowl area, engine bay and rear are all freshly painted. The Front-end was not on the car when we picked it up. We temporally hung the front on for storage and photo purposes but of course it needs to come back off to finish being prepped for painting. This car needs a trunk pan, otherwise the sheet metal is in very nice condition. There is a little rust that is shown in the photos but nothing major. I have virtually all of the car in regards to body parts and the original trim and interior. The front and rear glass was removed, the seal bed stripped, painted, and then a new Windshield and Rear glass installed. The Original front seat is gone, but there is a like replacement that needs covering. The original rear seat, upper & lower door panels, and dash all with car. No carpet. The original Air grabber is in tact with the  original air cleaner, air box and vacuum actuator.  

As I indicated above this is a 400 4-bbl. car. I received with the car a 440 that according to the former owner is a good running engine (but not freshly rebuilt) that he intended to put in the car with the original 4-speed. The 440 goes with the car just as I received it. Note the correct Exhaust manifolds in the photo! 

I have described the car as I know it, and taken photos that help represent it accurately for what it is (which is cool). If you are a serious buyer, and have questions, please ask and I will make every effort to research the answer. Any item shown in the background of a photo is not included with purchase, just the obvious parts for this car.

***I will not be available for some of the time this listing is active, if you do ask a question there may be a delay in response, however I will reply prior to the end of listing*** If you want to inspect the car I will be glad to arrange a time with you that you can see it. It has a clear NC title. In regards to mileage, all I can offer is that the odometer indicates 61,912 and that it is the original instrument cluster. 

I am selling the car as-is and where-is. There has been some local interest in the car prior to listing on e-bay. I reserve the right to end listing at any time to sell to the first buyer that is here with cash.

 

Thanks for looking.
