I would take that bet, but you would have to look at the 71.If you are buying it for an investment, then by all means buy a real RR. If you are buying it to drive, enjoy and not worry about, then buy the Sebring.
I would bet that the high end RR price involves a Hemi.
Yeah, I'm not up on 1972 options. But the high end prices now go for the highest optioned cars then.I would take that bet, but you would have to look at the 71.
While shopping classic Mopar and comparing in NADA values I saw that the 72 Road Runner lists a high side of $60K. While the Sebring only $20k.
Is this really true? Aren't they the same car? I am now scared to buy and invest in Sebring.

You're comparing a top end rare as hens teeth 440-6bbl four speed to everything else. A nice garden variety 72 RR is probably in the high $20 low $30 K range. There's not a 40k difference between a SSP and a RR.
BTW....let me know when one of the 72 440-6 four speed RRs is for sale at $62k.
You could not get a 440-6 in a SSP so the comparison is invalid. They are not twins.
I put them both as 440/6 to get a feel for a restomod with big block. They don't show restomods so I was seeking to see what the "supposed" top end value is. Restomods bring whatever they are worth in the mind of the buyer.
Also, not sure why NADA 440/6 them to even be an option for Sebring if not really available.
I think I just got the answer to my question. They were not different models afterall. The Sebring is the base version of the RR. So they are the same car separated by engines/trim.
Would it be a mistake to buy a $40k rotiserrie restored and big block Sebring? Wondering if most people expect to only spend that much on a RR regardless if they are the same and that someone invested a ton.
Sorry. You can't do it that way and gain any insight to a useful comparison. The 440-6 adds a huge premium to the RR that doesn't apply to the SSP. Compare something like a 400-4 and see what you get.
