MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1971 Plymouth Road Runner — 2012 V5294

Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Check the black hood stripe for rubbed edges and examine the windshield for scratches. The photograph is useful for identity, not a promise that every example has the same condition.
Ask for a side view as well as an overhead view when buying loose; the roof photo alone cannot show both axles clearly.
Collector questions
