I think it varies by which plant the car was built at?

Agree. Mine is a California built car, so Hamtramck and other cars might be different. I know the fender tags had differences.

On my 1969 Coronet 440 it is on the top drivers side of the core support

Hello,
After purchasing this 70 Road Runner, I looked closer at the 4 speed hump and thought for sure this couldn’t be factory. Some hack job did this and a poor one at that. I showed the pictures to a reputable builder and he felt that it is factory done.

The fender tag is for a 4 speed car but I want to get other’s opinions on this one.
Any chance it came from the factory this way??

Thanks,
Thomas

That does not look like a factory weld job to me. It looks like when I was teaching my son to weld when he was 10.
It also looks like it was tack welded into another car and then cut out and welded into yours.

D21 is 4-speed on the tag, and yes that bracket is held on by sloppy factory welds. Someone just cut the hump out for some reason in the past and then came to their senses and put it back in. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I agree totally with Hunt.

I'd go with that IF the numbers on rad support and trunk rail match. Otherwise it's a re-body.
