How did they break-in the motors? Was it before they were painted? When was the first filter changed?
I believe it was changed during dealer prep after the car was delivered to the dealership. And the style pictured here would have been installed then. In a related question, when doing a concours restoration, would restoring a car to showroom condition be acceptable or does it have to be to off the assembly line condition? In my case I have a T/A, sold by Mr. Norms. I'd rather have Mr. Norms decal on the spoiler and Norms license plate frames on the car when its done. For that matter, to make the car assembly line correct, the exhaust tips would need to be loose in the trunk, not installed. That seems sort of ridiculous. And for my restoration to showroom condition, this oil filter would be correct, not the green one.
Can anyone document their original filter as driven off the dealer's lot? Any Mopar filter has to be perfectly acceptable for concours judging, doesn't it?
