It is an original GY3 Citron Yellow car how rare is this on an A body? It is coded for both a longitudal & transverse black stripes What would they look like? The hood was changed would it have the duel scoops? And it has a U code with no number an the fender tag which he says were for 15 in wheels I didnt think any 15 in wheels were ever made for A bodys.He says the front fender lips are rolled.No Build sheet found as of yet. Thanks

The stripes are the standard 340 stripes that go from the front fender to the rear quarter panel with "340" on the rear quarter panels (No swirl in the stripe that was 1972) and the tail lamp stripes (racoon stripes) go around the tail lamps and rear panel with a Duster decal with cloud figure. The car would have 14 inch wheels and the never came with 15's. fenders rolled, either someone did that over the years or they just appear that way... "U" code is the destination USA E=Export, C=Canada. Last edited by 340wedge; 10/02/08 07:41 PM. 1971 Sassy Grass Green Duster 340 2006 Charger Daytona GoMango

Actually it would be a body colored hood the V24 is the orgonosal (semi flat) black hood with wedge decal. 1971 Sassy Grass Green Duster 340 2006 Charger Daytona GoMango

My 72 is in the background... The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!
