Haggertys

Was reading on Haggertys and it said in 1973 any Roadrunner that had a 440 in it was a GTX. Is this true?

There was no GTX package, If you ordered a roadrunner in 72-74 with a 440 You got GTX badges along with the Roadrunner badges.

The Redbook of Mopar Musclecars confirms this. Three other reference books I have make no mention either way. They tend to treat anything after 1971 as barely deserving any mention because of the lowering of engine performance to meet emissions standards.
