1972 Plymouth Road Runner RM23, 400, 4 speed car. Much restoration over the last 4 or 5 years. Extremely nice and straight, rust free, super clean car. 1 of 906 4-speed cars, date correct 400 with fresh rebuild 10:1 and runs strong. Sure grip 3:55. Matching Trans. Dash VIN and Trans match. Repro fender and door tags. Car was built in Canada and raced for a number of years. Have the phone numbers for the last 2 owners.
Price: $57,000 OBO
VIN: RM23P2R183557
Made in Canada car. Total restoration over last 4 years or so. Previous owner out of Canada did the majority of restoration. I then fixed and corrected a lot of incorrect items with the help of a very respected, knowledgeable and skilled member. Car was taken down to shell, soda blasted. Many Resto pics of body and engine. Excellent paint . All Electrical works and is updated correctly and safely, Vltg lmtr, digi tach pcb, relays. New Borgeson steering kit. Many new parts such as rubber gaskets, carpet, Kilmat througout, rhino lined underneath and trunk, Not to cover rust but to protect car. Brand new Cooper Cobras go on the car tomorrow.
Interior is super nice. No rips or tears or smoking or smells. New repro seat backs. I added reproduction Tach. Detailed spread sheet of all work done by previous owner and myself. It's a long long list! Car is pretty factory except some items like painted bumpers (bumpers etched first) Vector wheels (special order anthracite color), MSD, FPR. Color is Chrysler Sinamon Stick. Kind of like burnt orange, only pops more, especially in the sunlight.
The engine build was rebuilt following a Motor Trend recipe from 2022, titled "Chrysler 400 B series, Hemi Power at half the Cost". It did deviate slightly on the carb and intake due to hood clearance, according to previous owner, who also attempted a FI system. Which is why there is a AFPR. I have pics of the engine build, but not receipts, so I can only go by his word. You can find the entire recipe on line or I can find the link and send. The following notes were given to me regarding this build.
Current Engine:
Bore 4.372"
Stroke 3.38"
Deck Height 9.980:
Head 81.5 CC
Pistons -6 CC
Compression 10:1
406 CI
Engine in the car VIN: P2C38535. 400 cid 4 barrel V8 High Performance (according to online Fender Tag Decoder)
CASTING: 3614230-2, 400, B Family 1971-1972
It runs strong, much stronger than a stock 400. But I do not have Dyno sheets to prove. Just my butt meter. Doesn't blow smoke or anything. I'm selling car primarily because I don't like driving a 4 speed of this era in the city and want to move on to a modern car. I've owned many muscle cars, but never a 4 speed. It shifts fine and all of that, but if I get another old car....it will be an automatic again.
As with all cars from this era, there will always be something to address. However, this car does not need any major work to my knowledge at all.
Serious inquiries only please. Make contact and talk first. Easier than a bunch of emails. Will answer all questions and send all additional info as needed after that. Let’s not waste each other’s time if you’re not in the market for a 72 RR.
Have much more info than in this ad for serious Buyer's. Thanks Bbody Forums for letting me post!
