    Then and now.

    50 years ago I bought my first brand new car upon returning from Vietnam: A blue 1972 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 340 Magnum engine and a 727 transmission. (I regrettably ended up selling that RR some years later.) However, 50 years later I found another beautiful blue '72 Roadrunner, also...

    Do I have factory power steering or conversion?

    I'm in need of a new steering gear box. It definitely is power steering, but I can't tell if I need to replace a factory power steering box or a P/S conversion box. I got out my production broadcast sheet to see what my bird originally came with. Does the absence of any numbers in the check...

    I need a new steering gearbox for my '72 RR.

    My RR's power steering gearbox is in need of replacement. I'm seeing gearboxes on-line ranging in price from $180 to $750. What are the benefits of the different steering ratios? Anybody have a recommendation for a specific high-quality box for my '72 340/727 Bird and where it can be...

    Aftermarket A/C for '72 Bird?

    (Moderator: Feel free to move my thread if I'm posting this topic in the wrong sub-forum.) Has anyone installed an aftermarket air conditioning system in a '72 Bird? Mine doesn't have factory air and living in Arizona makes it pretty much a necessity. I'm curious as to how difficult of a job...

    What's this part called??

    The spring-loaded hand that holds the door open when entering or exiting the car. Mine is no longer doing its job and needs to be replaced. Does it have an actual name and where might I find one? (I already checked Classic Industries with no luck so far.)

    Can I call it a "4-door Roadrunner?" lol

    I know. It's not an actual RR, but I feel like the genealogy makes this at least a cousin or a step-brother or something. Meet my 1968 Plymouth Belvedere LAPD tribute w/ 383 and 727. With its younger sister:

    The Watson Lake Car Show in Prescott.

    My Bird made an appearance, however, some crazy critter by the name of Wile E. jumped up on the hood to photobomb my pic.

    Anybody have a source for obtaining a passenger-side outside rearview mirror (either OEM or quality replica) to match the stock driver-side mirror on my '72 RR? Existing driver-side mirror:

    Any other cops (or former/retired cops) on the forum??

    Curious if there are any Roadrunner owners who are fellow law enforcement types. If so, thank you for your service.

    New guy in Prescott, AZ

    Hi, 50 years ago when I returned from my tour in Vietnam, I treated myself to a brand new car: a 1972 Roadrunner with a 340 and auto trans, in a nice Sky Blue color. (And of course, I'm still kicking myself in the butt for ever selling it.) Over the recent years I've been searching for...
