One of one? Doesn’t surprise me. 8^]

I saw a ratty one a couple of years ago in a parking lot. I think the VIN was JH23H0B.

I guess I find it funny when you see resto’s all done similar. For instance… the X in a sloppy circle on Dana rear covers. Neither of my cars have that, and they weren’t repainted. Maybe the original owner’s thought it looked stupid and wiped it off. :D

My wagon is QQ1 Electric Blue. I was just pointing out the assembly line inconsistencies. My Charger is dark green metallic EF8, and it is painted black behind the grill.

Maybe. Maybe the hourly line workers knew that first year E bodies would be worth way more than a wagon someday, or not. The engine bay on my E87 D21 N96 EK2 ‘70 ‘Cuda was painted satin black before I bought it in ‘83. So I’ll never know on that one.

The cars were mass produced on an assembly line. A lot of discrepancies happened from time to time. I think it was E-Berg that said all Mopars of the era except black and dark blue cars were painted black on the grill side of the rad support. My original Electric Blue ‘68 Satellite wagon only...

Pretty car! But I’d rather have a Coronet 440, with a built 440 that could be driven and enjoyed. Not only would that be ridiculously expensive, it wouldn’t be driven.

I pulled a 440 out of a 1970 4 door New Yorker back in the mid 80’s. It had the dual snorkel “TNT” air cleaner. It had the heavy rods, pork chop balancer, windage tray, and weights on the converter. F440 HP2 on the pad. I forgot to check the VIN on the dash. I guess it would have been CH43U0.

All ‘70-‘72 440 “HP” stamped engines, including the 4 bbl. I believe.

Oh… and it says “HP”. Again, that doesn’t really mean anything 50 years later.

It looks like a good 440 block to me. It has the stiffening ribs. Some guys like to see a casting date before the scheduled build date of the car. I ain’t one of them.

Did they paint the intake manifold on the 69 1/2 cars?

I’m with you... I’ve seen enough 318 Chargers to know they aren’t really different than my V code other than bolt on parts you could put on in your driveway. You’d need at least a stick welder for the skid plate. :D

My F8 ‘70 V code Charger got it. Like all ‘70 Chargers, built at St. Louis South.

Richard Ehrenberg says all cars but Black and Dark Blue. They missed my original paint QQ1 Electric Blue wagon when it went down the line at Lynch Rd.
