Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

440 280hp, 4 speed, pistol grip shifter, buckets and console, sport wheels with trim rings, G60 15 Polyglas GT tries, 3.54 Sure Grip . Restored like new and showing a little age and use, but not much.

Market commentary

It was 1972 and emission controls ruled the land. The torque monster 440 was strangled to just 280 (net) horsepower and while its performance was still electrifying its appeal in the wake of 390hp (gross) ratings paled. Thats the preamble to this 72 Road Runner GTXs perception by collectors. A lavish and correct older restoration, it brought all the money it could have, a pale reflection of just a few years before.
