According to the 727-200 advanced manual, available from Boeing, its range was more like 3200nm. That was the model that flew across the Atlantic

Say

New York City to Gander to Greenland to Iceland to Ireland to France to Heathrow Cheesy

Either that or it made it 5/8ths the way there and glided the rest of the way.
