As far the body of the car goes a 2 door satellite and a Roadrunner are the same..
VIN: Satellite=RL Salellite Sebring=RH Satellite Sebring Plus=RP
RoadRunner=RM
A 72 roadrunner RM will have the following:
Special Split grille with honeycomb mesh insert (rare item)
High performance engine 340 400 or 440(440 is "U" code GTX option)
Roadrunner Decor:
Strobe Stripe
RR emblems and bird decal on lower quarter
Hood Stripes vary by hood
RR medalion in header panel
RR script or bird on dash
Hood options: Call out with engine displacement or air grabber
Roadrunner "Beep Beep" horn
A few High impact colors (RR only) were left over in 72...(non available was plum crazy purple, sassy grass green)
There are probably a few other things I forgot...but most of the other RR options not listed could have been ordered on a Satellite such as sway bars, 400, bucket seats, console, 4 speed, and so on.

basically it had a heavier duty suspension and bigger brakes and the 440 engine with dual exhaust, it was an upscale satellite with better interior and more ginger bread on the outside of the car.
The Horn Relay for a 1971 Plymouth satellite is in the fusebox driverside behind brake pedal it is part of the box and it is possible to replace it with any standard relay

go this link they are selling the exact same car http://motors.listings.eBay.com/Plymouth_Satellite_W0QQsacatZ6415QQsocmdZListingItemList i found in the poduction of 1969 sport satellites with a 383 4bbl and 4 spd trans 401 were built while 940 automatics were built with this engine and model combo if you want to check if the car is original look at the v.i.n. number the first 6 digits should read rp23h9
There's the possibility that the Sport Satellite could have a 318 in it instead of the big block 383 or 440. I could be wrong, but I don't think any GTX's had 318's. Of course, the trim package would be different too. The GTX should have heavier torsion bars and suspension parts too. I'm 50 years old and have never heard of a Sport Satellite GTX. It's either one or the other.
Im not sure completely on the Sport Satellite but, the Satelite I believe were all 383 cars with optional trans and rear end and the GTX came with 440 only, the trans and rear end where the options. Other than that it was trim packages and suspension differences.
He's correct. It's either a Sport Satellite (SS) or a GTX, not both, but the SS came with a 318 also and the GTX came with the 440 and the 426 Hemi
Just to confirm this answer...I am 49 yrs old and I owned a cherry 1969 Sport Satellite with a 318... (back in 1978). I sold it a few years later. It was gun metal blue and nicknamed "BC" (for "Boulevard Cruiser"). I was 18 yrs. old and it was my first car. I bought for $400.00 cash.
I would love to find a mint GTX with a 426 Hemi.
From '68 onwards the standard engine in a Sport satellite was the 318. The 383 became an option.
any V8 is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and the distriburetor rotates counter-clockwise.
