How about for an R/T or GTX with a 440 air combo? thx in advance Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

A/C was only available with the automatics and both assemblies (w and w/o) A/C were orange. Assembly 916 was HP with auto and A/C. 917 was HP auto without A/C.

Mine was St.Louis built, don't recall where the other one was built. This topic has come up before, and there are a couple guys with orange motors in '69s with AC and IIRC 4-speeds, and they were adamant that their cars were original.
