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.

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.

 

[WileE]

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

Gary came by the other day Pete, It was nice to meet him.

 

[chargervert]

He is rounding up parts for the twin his and hers 73 Charger projects.

I cruised with them several times. always loved Pam's 71 Daytona. If I had won the lottery it would be sitting in my garage.

Keep playing and it can happen!
