    Oh man, that brings back memories...had a 72 Sattelite, and was working on a 71 Roadrunner back in 90 when I had to go off to the Gulf War, my ex sold my Roadrunner....I sold my ex soon after!

I know you say that $11k is a lot of money but the history you got for it is worth many times that. Just an amazing vehicle that purists could stare at all day!

It came with 318 & automatic, cloth bucket seats console with the "slap stick shifter" power steering & power disc brakes. I replaced the rally wheels with aluminum mags that looked very similar to the ones on your Roadrunner.

    So this car was ordered with the half vinyl roof...but isn't it possible that they matched dented cars to custom order sheets? It seems like the custom order isn't mutually exclusive to the lore. Regardless, this is one amazing Mopar. The '71-'72 B-bodies are wildly under appreciated in my opinion. I can't wait to see where this goes.

    My thoughts exactly. Not a thing wrong with the car,, but as a manufacturer, why spend to repair a minor flaw when you know you could sell it with that minor flaw covered as an option. It's not detrimental to the car, just something that would catch the eye in a reflection. Good business sense.

    That is an absolutely beautiful car. I almost bought one almost like it in high school, but couldn't come up with the money. I wound up with a '70 base Challenger 318/auto, green with a white vinyl top, black interior, and real Fenton 5 spoke mag wheels. I love both Roadrunner body styles, but believe they ruined the front end in 1973. I would replace the vinyl top, have the seats redone, and at least have those tires turned around with the white letters out. I would prefer BFG Radial T/As Oh, and I'd also install the original 49 state exhaust tips on it. If it is all original, expect every single suspension bushing to be rotted away, bad ball joints and steering linkage. My Challenger had all those problems with only 56,000 miles on it, and it was only 5 years old when I bought it in 1975.

Make it a "meh" resto-mod where it looks great from 20' and not bad up close but not perfect so if it gets a small scratch here and there, not a big deal, but you can have a shit ton of fun in it.

    That could still be true with the "X" even if it was custom ordered. They just took a car that had a flaw in the roof and used that to fill the custom order. Just like the TX9 cars. Only the most flawless examples got painted black and whenever they got a dead straight body it was almost certain to be painted black.

    I was told by an old guy that worked at the Belvidere plant that the X on the roof just meant that the car was getting a vinyl roof period. He didn't mention anything about paint or body defects. What's interesting to me, is as a sign of the times, most Chrysler products in the mid to late 70s came 'standard' with some sort of vinyl roof so that they didn't have to do a good job blending the roof to the A or B pillars, just stuff a ton of seam sealer in the cracks and paint right over it.

    Very nice. Always wanted to find the one my mother drove but never can. 71 Road Runner 426 Hemi 4 speed with pistol grip, Tauny Gold Metallic color, chrome bumpers (like the one in this video) bench seats. A thrill to ride in as a kid. It was repainted canary yellow, given yellow bumpers, racing stripe added, on Mopar cover twice, but no Google search over the years finds it. :(

    ricardo rocha No. A Gear Vendor's overdrive box (or extension) is like $5k and you only get a .80 over drove ratio out of them. You're correct that you lose torque multiplication by swapping to higher gears, but that's the trade-off he made. A gear swap is much more affordable for what David wants out of that car. Plus swapping gears and 3rd member in a 9 3/4" is about a 40 minute job if he ever changes his mind. You also have to keep in mind that he has plenty of other cars that are fast, like the Crusher Camaro, the F Bomb, the Muscle Truck, etc, etc. He just wants that one to be a cruiser.

    Hey there guys at motor trend. Idk if you read these comments. And I can only speak for myself but I do feel a lot of people may agree with me. I've always loved roadkill and David & Mike but paying to subscribe to motor trend one demand just to see these shows is kinda shitty !!!! I , like many others don't have "extra" money all the time to pay for these shows. I understand that part of that money helps to pay Mike & David for their hard work. But for some of us it's hard. Specially for me being injured with a broken spine and disabled at the moment. So not being able to work means I don't have extra money. Anyways I just thought I would share that with you guys and show at least one example of why some people don't pay to see the shows. I wish I could pay specially to support these guys. But I can't. Either way I do show my love and support here on KZread as I have for a long time now. So keep up the great work boys 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻 and Marry Christmas to everyone reading this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Lx leathers seats from 06 ish 300 look great in these. I painted mine with black dye, added a bit of aluminum trim and a light welded seat/console frame so I drilled no new holes in my car. The back seat took a day of tinkering. Using only factory mounting on the car, the look just right. 2 Bose 5.25" subs from a house sub fitted into 2 transmission line under rear seat boxes fill out light weight low budget sound.

Update the transmission to an TorqueFlite 8 speed auto and drop some 3.55 or 3.73 in the rear. It would be an awesome cruiser and still be able to move pretty good in the 1/8 or 1/4
