[joshb1983]

http://memphis.craigslist.org/cto/3204971316.html seen this online and wondered why they would put both badges and decals from RR and gtx on same car...they never made a gtx roadrunner did they? iv never seen or heard of one...the add says its a gtx roadrunner

yep, they sure did. '73, '74?

RR was the model, GTX was just a dress up package IIRC

As the Dodge Charger/Superbee platform in 1971.
Before 1971 the Superbee was a "Coronet"
During 1971 the Superbee was a Charger "based" car.
I think it was due to downsizing/consolodation?

gtx was plymouth only. dodge gtx probably a typo....

1972 also. If you ordered a Road Runner and ordered a 440 engine it was a Road Runner GTX. I have seen a couple of them over the years.

My '72 RR is also a GTX but it still needs lots of work or possibly a new owner.

My dad back in the day had a 72 RR/GTX with a police package. It had the tear drop and the whole nine yards including a higher compressioned 440. He sold it in '80 and unfortunately it was ceremoniously wrapped around a tree. Most people do not believe there was such a thing as a police version. I wish I had a good picture to prove it. It was butterscotch yellow with a tan vinyl top.

My great uncle has a Road Runner Gtx he bought brand new. Gunmetal gray with black interior, buckets with auto on the column. 440 in it. The ramp on the delivery truck fell on it and banged up the front fender while he was watching at the dealership. Still has the dent to this day.

thats what i thought also but they made a dodge gtx also in the 70s...i made another post about it...it looks like they were for over seas or mexico

 

[Budnicks]

I can not read that Ad from Argentina but it says 318 engine. It has no side marker lights and kinda looks like a ford to me.I don't think I want one of those.

The side profile looks sort of like my Falcon.

The Argentina GTX sure looks different, its weird how other country's make or made cars that resemble ours and yet be different, Like a 75-76 Super Bee.. Reminds me of our Dart or Duster. This link has a couple more of the Foreign built Chrysler cars..

The stopped making 2-dr Coronets after 1970. The Charger was the only 2-dr B-body Dodge starting in '71. I guess the factory didn't want to do a high performance 4-dr.

Wow! learn something new everyday!!! i guess Dodge did make a GTX...well, in Argentina anyways!!! it's a GTXnet!! lol

i really like the red one!! looks bad-***

bottom of the ad says "Chrysler Argentine Fever" btw....

 

[Budnicks]

The Aussie Chrysler Dodge Plymouth cars are different too, Chargers look allot like Darts & Barracuda mix kid of, GTX looks complete different too...
