[quote="1972RM23"]Here's a 71 RR the chin spoilers.



Yep, I think this one has it right. Notice the top end is closer to the character line than on the '72. Now if we only had measurements!

I also have a shot of a 72 w/ chin spoilers on it though they were not an option in 1972. I might have another better shot a work...let me see. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/wanna72rr/72%20rr/DSCF0006.jpg Hope this helps ...sorry about hi-jacking your thread.

More pics after sandblasting. Need to weld in repairs in the rusty areas and then prime it with self-etching primer... http://www.RoadRunnerNest.com/BruceProject/Front.jpg http://www.RoadRunnerNest.com/BruceProject/Pass.jpg http://www.RoadRunnerNest.com/BruceProject/Driver.jpg http://www.RoadRunnerN...

WOW- talk about fighting the natural lines of the car with that paint scheme!! All the girl needs is St. Patricks day hat and box of LUCKY CHARMS. But just looking at the interior makes me feel minty fresh. I wonder- did the description say the car was next to the 'Irish Spring" soap plant when som...

Oh my. Dave, you're going to have to change the set up on the Ebay page allowing us to comment! Let's hear everyone's reaction to this car's paint and interior please! :lol: 72 Satellite Sebring Plus - 318/auto - driver - interesting custom paint, and I guess the cute woman in the pic's DOESN'T come...

Whoa, sorry for spreading disinformation! The one on my Runner would have gotten replaced EARLY in the car's life then... It was orange back when I bought it from Lammers in '81. Weird. Oh well, I'll stick with my six barrel--I KNOW what color it's supposed to be!

The original air cleaner on my (then 383) Road Runner was none of the above. It was a hemi-orange dual snorkle with a pie plate. I think the black krinkle air cleaners were on earlier models.

Man, that thing is COOL! Always loved them in black on black. Nice to see our beloved b-bodies are thriving even in Europe...

Specs on the new engine: Bored to yield 451ci Wiseco pistons, compression ratio @ 9.75 to 1 Indy-prepped steel heads, ported and polished (exhaust side) with oversize valves Hydraulic Comp cam with 1.6 rockers, total lift: .521 Intake, .524 Exhaust High-volume oil pump and 7-quart sump And of course...

Thanks guys. There's a ton of work to get the engine compartment looking as good as that engine. I told my engine builder if I didn't redo the engine bay it would be about like putting a Steinway in a hog lot... Hey, they both make beautiful music, right?

I second that, PICS, PICS, PICS!!!

Hey guys, after years of thrashing this old 440 in my Road Runner I've finally gotten around to building a replacement. Here's some shots of the old mill coming out: http://www.RoadRunnerNest.com/BruceProject/RR1.jpg http://www.RoadRunnerNest.com/BruceProject/RR2.jpg http://www.RoadRunnerNest.com/Br...

The first '71 GTX I had was a 4-speed car. Sherwood Green with a black interior. The second one was Tawny Gold with the tan interior (or whatever the official color was) and was an automatic, console car. Pretty heavily optioned, even had air. And was very straight and not real rusty... Another "sho...

I'm afraid I don't have any pics of my Tawny Gold GTX. I didn't keep it long at all... It had a biege interior and vinyl top just like yours. Yeah the front of your X really shined up nice! Does look like the back end got fried though. That's a shame...

Chit! We're talking about the car in Mopar Muscle? Yeah, I've already read that article! Very cool story! And since I've owned 2 '71 GTXs myself, I can't help but relate to it. Especially since one of them was the same color. Good luck with that car, and glad I could offer even a small bit of help.
