They did not make many black birds with orange interior. I seen a fair amount of orange on orange. This one also has 4 speed and air grabber to boot..

Hey that was at Sunbust! I was there with my 71 Charger in the Unfinished class. I was really digging the Black and Orange interior of this Road Runner as well as the Orange 72 that was there..

They're talking about whether the car had stripes from the factory. The code for them was not on the fender tag so they were added later. However, the stripe appears to be correct for that year if not that particular car.

The 73 stripe started at the front fender and went over the roof in a strobe and back down to the other front fender.

"Bogus" as in they are photoshopped into the picture? They look pretty real to me.

I know what you meant but there is no need to be a fender tag nazi.

That is one gorgeous 73! I really want my old one back now. I think that is my favorite color combo with the bogus white or red stripes. I am really digging the rear louvers too. How do you keep your back window clean?
 
Where did you get that one from? I think I want one for my 72 and I will have it painted to match the spoiler.
 
(tag is missing vw8) but it has v21 which is a hood stripe..
i wonder if it has a build sheet and what that says???
there are some interesting options on this car's tag..

Yea I don't know what I was thinking. The 73 & 71 stripes are completely different

not being a "fender tag Nazi" just pointing it out , there are people out there that don't know the difference and are interested even if your not . I'm into the tags always have been, its one of the things I love about mopars

I am also into the tags. I see that yours is a 340 4 speed with white interior and A87 decor package, N85 Tac.
Friend of mine has a FC7 340 4 speed car with black interior. They did not make alot of 340 71 birds. most were 383..
 
348 340 speeds made , wonder how many were FC7, does his have the canopy roof ? . how many are left now
I've also heard that they were not available to be ordered by joe Q public all were dealer orders ,would like to know whether there's any truth to that

no v8w but ,so the roof stripe is bogus

To be fair here, it is possible that the code was not stamped on the fender tag - as some Plants did not stamp everything.

I'm sure my GTX is a Hemi, even though it says 440 on the fender tag and VIN plate...when I eventually find my Build Sheet, I feel lucky enough that it will say Hemi. :D
