Im glad its going to someone whos going to restore it that car had a lot of rumors floating around this area. everyone knew the vauge location (tainter lake) but its always someones friend saw it. I was told it was a cuda, and when I talked to the previous owner, I was able to put 2 and 2 together. I have to say, its relieving in a way that its come about. 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

Turns out to be a 77 360. But the kicker was cleaning the numbers pad on the trans. #s matching transmission!!! Very good news!!! The rear end appears original too but I couldn't find a date code. I'll have to wait until its blasted. It is however a 489 carrier. I looked for a sure grip tag but couldn't find one. Looks as though it has been out at some point tho as there is a thick rubber looking gasket in there. Maybe silicone even. I'd just jack it up to check but my jack just blew a seal and pissed all over my garage floor. Finding the numbers on the trans though made up for it! 1970 FM3 Coronet 440, 1971 FJ6 Dude D100

I believe they gave them up in favor of color codes on the bottom of the carrier. I know my original '69 Swinger with 489 cased, 3.91 Sure Grip only has the ratio tag.

My '69 is a Hamtramck car and the RR is a St. Louis car. I have a few more cars to look into that are untouched (both of my Dana cars have the Limited Slip and ratio tags, as well as the '63 Savoy).
