New 74 Roadrunner 28k Survivor

Were the bright bumperettes optional on both years? The reason I ask is the the mounts are the same on the front bumperettes, but on the rear the solid rubber bumperettes use a single mounting stud and the rubber and chrome ones use two studs, and the top stud on the rubber/chrome isn't in the same position as the single stud on the rubber ones so you can't put a rubber bumperette on a bumper made for the rubber/chrome ones unless you measure off and drill a third hole. This would mean Chrysler would have to have had two different rear bumpers and liners, and I know they hated doing that for even small parts yet alone something as big as those parts.

I had thought one type went with one year and the other with the different years, with the 73's getting rubber/chrome and 74s getting just rubber.

My '74 has that exact same steering wheel and the round knob shifter....first one i've seen like mine, I wonder if it's part of some factory package because as far as I can tell, my car came from the factory with 70/71 ralley wheel centers also.
 
Since you asked...

It would be madness to make any changes whatsoever to that car. Including replacing any wear items like plugs, wires, etc. Untouched originals of any description are exceedingly rare, and need to be preserved. If stock isn't your bag, you can certainly sell it to someone who wants it as-is, and make a handsome profit. Then buy something to modify, if that's your deal. I like modified as well as original cars, but something like that needs to be left alone. Even swapping engines, and then "putting it back someday" destroys the originallity. Not to mention it's easy to lose all the little pieces and parts over the years. Just my $0.02...
 
Very, very, very nice. I say keep original. Love the interior!

So my question to the group is what makes the car all original. My GTX is all original but I have to change some stuff out due to the age of the car. I myself want to protect the originality of the car.
 
i can't leave anything alone! in the end you own it and it is just a car, do what makes you happy if you are happy with it you will keep it!
