Photos Fixed! Seeking 1974 Broadcast Sheet Expert for Options

[Wile E Coyote]

I'm hoping to find someone that can tell me by reading my 1974 Dodge Charger broadcast sheet if my car came from the factory with the moulding down the side to prevent car door dings and if the car came with pinstripes.

Kinda hard to read that report.
Very small.

Sweet car, though I really like the way silver and black 73/74 SE cars look.

Thank you for letting me know - I thought you could click the image to open it full size. I'll fix this!

Does your fender tag have M31? Belt molding, I'm guessing not an expert.

It does indeed.

Unless Chrysler used different nomenclature from standard, I don't believe that the side impact moulding is called a belt moulding; usually the 'belt moulding' is, as I understand it, the moulding at the top of the door panel between the sheetmetal and the window fuzzy.
Normally the mouldings you have circled are called 'side impact mouldings' or similar. Whilst an option on many cars in teh 70s, most were dealer installed as far as I know. NOT and expert on 74 Chargers - or much of anything else quite frankly - so my opinion is worth what it cost you...but I think its accurate.

Also, as far as my understanding goes on this generation, the M31 code includes the chrome trim moulding that runs across the back edge of the hood.

V5X, not on your list, would be:

Moldings (sic)
Body Side, Vinyl-Black with Bright Accent (Not available with Rallye Package)

as per:

Also, the V5X would have been a no cost option with the V78 stripe delete.

Your car is gorgeous.

Most factory side moldings are bolted on in at least a couple places. They also have factory holes (painted on the insides) for the clips.

Most dealer installed moldings are stick on only, although I've seen some with "easy to drill" locations having a bolt (like the lip of the rear edge of the door).

That car is cool! Wow.

The op's other question regarding pinstripes has not been addressed.

I'll add a related question...were the factory pinstripes of this era painted on, or were they vinyl stick-on?

Great work by Delta V. The OP's Charger is definetly a beauty. The pinstripes were painted on BTW.

Yep, most I have seen over the years are/were "stick ons", but an inordinate amount were also 'rivet' ons... The worst of the lot. OP's gorgeous car's mouldings sure look nice and straight for a sticky... hope they are tho if he wants em gone.
