Rally dash wood grain no coronet on dash, fresh air next to reverse light I believe

VIN assuming it belongs with the car is WM...

My buddies 70 Bee had the black rally dash not the wood grained dash... But it had a Bee over the glovebox.... What would use a rally dash but say "Coronet"?? Not a Coronet R/T... Getting the "Fresh Air" pull in the wrong place is an easy mistake if a non-mopar person was involved in the resto....
Edit Molar=Mopar gotta love auto correct
Wiper motor is wrong
Torsion bars are adjusted dramatically different from side to side.... Makes me think something isn't right..

All 1970 super bees had a woodgrain rally dash as standard equipment.
See last Entry.

Sorry I don't agree... All 1970 Super Bees were supposed to have had a woodgrain rally dash as standard equipment.

And perhaps this one started live with one, I don't know... But I do know my buddy owned his in the late eighties, I was with him when he dragged it out of a barn where it had sat since the late 70's & it did not have woodgrain...

Sorry I don’t agree that the late 70’s out of a barn meant it came that way from the factory 9 years earlier.

We know things got changed around plenty. And you nor I can say every one came with it. But the factory literature says they did so I’m going to run with that.

Yes it could have been swapped in the 9-10 years it was on the road, or it could have come that way...

I worked for an auto manufacturer for long enough to know stuff winds up on cars that doesn't belong there.... It simply happens...

I saw vehicles with wrong options, wrong emblems, I was involved with a truck that burned oil, turned out it had no rings on one piston.... Stuff happens...

I agree, I worked at dealerships also. There was they way the should be and then the mistakes.

Yes that is the white upper door frame paint code on the fender tag. Will be same on all of them Lynch Road or others.

On the build sheet It is under UDF color line on 2 near the center. Between interior code and exterior paint code..

70runner · Feb 11, 2021

Never say never/always in the mopar world, but the possibility of an original Coronet glovebox bezel and non woodgrain dash in a 70 Bee is very low. More likely, the entire dash was replaced. There is an AM radio, but no radio option on the fender tag. Interior looks correct for H6XW. As noted, incorrect later 70s wiper motor. Overall looks like a genuine V Bee, but at their price I'd want to do an up close and personal inspection.

No radio codes on a Lynch Road Tag. I would say somebody didn't like the woodgrain facia and simply swapped the bezels for a more appealing look. A you can see, the over glove box part doesn't even match the other Rallye Dash bezels.

good eye ,I did not catch that :thumbsup:

Sooo...I guess I'll be the first to point out this is a bogus tag containing at least four errors.......

Triplegreen500 · Feb 24, 2021

...or production line errors...

A buddy's dad bought a '72 RR 340 brand new. Stripe delete car, column shift, came down the line with a Satellite interior. He bought it new, has it documented from day one. Sometimes they just put the wrong parts in.
