That's looking sweet. There are a couple of sweet '70's going together in the resto section!
1969 Dart GTS 340
1969 Super Bee X9 N-96
1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96
2015 Dodge Dart GT
2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn.
Looking for the original block for my Bee. The last 4 are 7449

 This car is beautiful. I love seeing this car being restored as I'm a little partial to B5 GTX's. That color can look really light or really dark depending on the lighting the pictures are taken in. Mine too is an LA built car, and has the small font tag. I wonder if the stamping was random or was it changed over halfway through production as mine has a SPD of April. Do you plan on putting the stripes back on? I see it is also not coded for chrome tips. Do you know if this car was sold in CA? Yours is coming along much faster than mine, but lately I've been dragging my feet on finishing it. These pics get me fired up to try to finish it up this spring. Great job and keep up the great pics!

Thanks for the positive comments. What I have come up with from past registrations and owners is that the car was a San Jose CA car that moved with the long time owner to Arizona and then to Nevada where I found it. It will be getting the white side stripes and it had exhaust tip brackets so it's getting some nos tips. It also had a six way seat adjuster that I am putting back in. Those are the two things that are not on the tag but were with the car when I got it so they are going back on. I believe they were both on the car from day one. When it comes to the tags, as far as I know the LA plant had two machines that made the tags. One with the smaller font and one with the regular font. Over the years I have seen probably about a 50-50 split with the tags.

What is this line?
Must be for the ECS tube that is in the trunk of the right side would be my guess?

I love the 70 road runners and GTX'. I can't wait to see it with the stripes!

GTX- Original California sheet metal was pretty much rust free along with all suspension components. The car must have spent most of it's life in a garage when it was parked.

Engine compartment. All major parts are original to the car. Had to find a carb (4739s) and brake booster.
