The plastic and 'bakelite(?)' versions were the Originals...they can be found but most are for other car models and the valve may open in the opposite direction (pull vs push) as the one for an E-body. They do crack.
The one you have now was a replacement.
Yes, there is a significant list of 70-only details.
Of course the a pillar trim fits, it’s just whether someone is concerned about originality…and early 70 cars wouldn’t have the hole location in the pillar itself for the moved lower hole in the trim.
I’ve seen that the hole in the steel shows...
The A pillars went through changes through the model years.
1970, up until about April of 1970 used trim that had the wider holes.
Then they moved up the bottom hole, so the second generation (April 70 through 71) had holes that are about 12”/11.75” apart.
Then (I think about 1973) they...
My ends are also crushed, as yours is in the picture.
I also considered just overlapping the new corner pieces.
I did not think (and have confirmed with a few trim restorers) that once that aluminum is crushed it is beyond the point of bringing back.
I found a good one and had it restored, so...
Thanks for the comparison picture.
Obviously lighting and other factors make things seem different.
Using the seat vinyl, or console as a comparator, I’d personally say picture 1 is too light.
That TA seems like it’s using darker carpet which looks more similar to the other interior parts.
2 years ago (2022) i ordered at the Nationals.
He said call in the Fall...then in the Spring (2023).
Thought Carlisle 2023 would have everything...but only had the over the axle parts.
Said he would have them at the Nationals...nothing..
Checked back and I was able to pick up at the Indy Swap...
I am working on a second E-body with Blue interior and am now recalling that I questioned what is available for new Blue Carpeting.
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of the original carpeting, but what I do have reminds me that the original was a bit darker and a bit more turquoise...or at least...
Thanks Jeff...Your thread title says AAR and TA count.
Are the numbers shown a combination of both?
Do you have the split of each color for TA and for AAR?
Breakdown for Auto vs 4- Speed?
I recall an old statement from Barry regarding total quantity of known cars...but that also included cars...
Looking for a pair of the support braces.
I understand that the versions used on 71-74 B-Bodies are the same but simply longer, so I could work with those.
PM me here
Thanks for the ad
Thanks for the reminder to check Dynacorn....Unfortunately...they are backordered. But, at least i have something.
Now i just need the back window inside piece.
Looking for anyone with a Challenger that is being scrapped out or even if you are aware of a car in a junkyard.
I need the Left inner structure by the back window.
Any year (70-74) is fine.
My back window leaked and rusted out the inner structure and also the lower trunk hinge support...
