Did It Sell or Not?

[Dibbons]

I find it up for auction in 2023, but can't find the results. Anyone know what happened to it? (if you notice my profile icon, my current project is a similar vehicle but a 1972 model). Thank you.



1971 Plymouth Road Runner Custom for Sale at Auction - Mecum Auctions

That is one of the cars that those people transformed into a "what-if" car. Interestingly, it's actually a GTX, not a road runner. Supposedly, looking for a few hundred $$$$.

Bet that front end gets light at speed.

Bet that front end gets light at speed.

Their Petty race version of the 71 Plymouth Superbird went 201 MPH with no front end lift.

Pam and Gary still have the orange 71 Superbird. They sold the 71 GTX convertible,the 71 GTX prototype clone and the 71 Charger prototype clone.

I personally think those builds were awesome. Going forward with what "could have been" from the factory.
