Fender tag questions: A88 and V9W

[74Runneer]

I have a 74 road runner and I put my fender tag code in an online decoder and everything made sense but I had a question on A88 and V9W.

A88 is the interior decor group. What did that consist of?

V9W came up as unknown, I was researching online and someone said it was some trunk lid stripes. Is that right? What do those look like? I haven't seen them on a 74 before.

My car isn't in the original state so I am just curious what it looked like from the factory.

Thanks!

What does a white trunk stripe look like? Does it go along the width of the vehicle?

Im looking for it. Not sure myself but every car i have looked at has no stripe. Im certainly no expert just a googler.

V9W in 74 is the stripes on the performance hood.

Okay that white decal on the hood makes more sense.

None of those look like my interior.

What is the interior code? 4 digit to the right of the paint code, 2nd line up.

Buckets were an option in addition to the decor group. Your upper door panels were either changed or recovered. There should be wood grain.

KT5 with black and white

Bet that was a pretty car when new

D5xw plus A88

White buckets, deluxe steering w/RR and should have these upper door panels in white. Good looking car!

Okay, so I'm missing the wood grain on the upper panels. Are the seats supposed to be black and white or do the ones I have look like the originals? I know they aren't actually the originals, they've been recovered.

 

[T2R9]

Your seats are correct. The black is the dash and carpet with white seats and door panels.

Awesome, thanks!
