If YOU like it and you can get it for a good price,go for ir. Almost everything is wrong about that car wing,wheels, plymouth on the rear bumper,grill painted all black, seats,ect,ect ect.If he says it's a real road runner the vin munnber should start with RM23N i don't know what a Sat. or GTX starts with.It comes down to what you want to do with it and what he want's for it.It's flashy.

It has a Satellite dash, and the seats are out of something later. The bumpers are the same on a road runner and Satellite. The bumpers on this car are chrome bumpers that have been painted. It's PROBABLY a Satellite, but you'd need all the VIN/body numbers to be sure. Regardless, there's a lot incorrect about the car. Really depends on what you're looking for.

As others have said, there's not enough information provided to decide if its a clone or not. You need to verify all the numbers.

The car has been "personalized" quite a bit. I dont see that as a good or bad thing as long as YOU like it. Personalizing can affect the price negatively unless you find someone that appreciates the car like you do.

I would like to add something else. Even if this car is not a " real Road Runner " It still has worth. They all came down the same line and with most of the same parts.Far too often we neglect or sneer at a car because it's bloodline isn't up to snuff.How many 4 doors are just as much a MOPAR as a hemi cuda? By all means if you like it grab it and be proud of it. Remember there not making any of them anymore and every one of them needs a home.Well i'll get down off the box now.

Only if YOU like it and its Cheeap! There is a lot incorrect if its supposed to be a 71 RR and it was recently painted and not very well, overspray etc. The engine bay was spraybombed black. Probably hiding some bodywork as it looks like a resale/flip. But if you like it and its cheap who cares. :beer:

The dash in the orange car is from a base Satellite or Satellite Sebring. The Rallye dash you pictured is from a road runner, gtx, satellite sebring plus, satellite brougham, or satellite regent.

Bumpers on 2dr satellites and road runners / gtxs were the same. The rear bumper for a 71 was different than a 72. Your first photo is a 72 and the second is a 71.
