Fender tag gone, so I have to decipher this buildsheet. I can BARELY make out an A21 on the buildsheet (Elastomeric Colored Front Bumper Package), but not sure. However down below, it CLEARLY shows below M71 (Front Colored Bumper). Would M71 on the buildsheet confirm an A21 option?. Also, if you had the A62 Rallye Dash, you will ALWAYS get the J25 3-speed wiper option? Hard to make out. A01 light group...you will then ALWAYS have along with it L31 (Hood/Fender Mounted Turn Signals)??? L25 (Trunk Lamp) clearly shows on the buildsheet, but L31 is worn out. This is a 383 'Cuda, so I imagine they'd always have N41 (Dual Exhaust )? N42 (Chrome Exhaust Tips) shows on the buildsheet. Did all 'Cudas some at least standard with R11 (AM Radio (2 Watts))? Or would a radio delete show up w/another code on the sheet? Sheet is so fragile, I feel like I'm an archaeologist w/the last of the dead sea scrolls.

Not necessarily, I think M71 would be just the front bumper, whereas A21 is the bumper package which also includes other things (dual chrome mirrors, belt molding, maybe also tailpanel blackout?)
I think it DOES work the other way around though. A21 WOULD mean that M71 should be on the sheet.

I think this is true yes.

L31 Is part of the A01 package, but I've often heard that it was left out on cars with performance hoods (at least on challengers). Some cars with performance hoods slipped by and got it anyway. It's hard to say one way or the other, keep researching.

most likely

Radio was not standard on anything. No such thing as radio delete.

You should definitely make a copy of the sheet.

In the 71 Cuda coding guide, the color-keyed racing mirrors and color-keyed elastomeric bumper section lists the following footnotes:
Front bumpers-Code A21
Front and rear bumpers-Code A22
I'm not sure on the M71 code, as I find no mention of it.
And yes, the 3-speed wipers were std. with the rallye dash. They are actually referred to as "variable speed". According to the remarks section for J25, variable speed wipers were std. on 440-6 bbl, Hemi, and with codes A04-Basic Group (which could also be on a non-rallye std. cluster), A62-rallye dash, and N96-shaker hood.

Sorry, not a scan, but a picture: http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/4633/dscf4751.jpgif you notice in the "A" Combination group, you can see faintly what appears to be: 01, then, 05 (???), then, 21, then 62 I.e. light group, protection group, front rubber bumper, rallye gauge setup. 05 is VERY hard to see, but makes sense since it's coded with V5X (black side moulding), but 05 makes sense. C16, console has been wiped out, but it appears to be a faint "6" showing. Below here, you can see M71 shown (M area, 7 column, 1 showing in the cell): http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/5412/dscf4750e.jpg

Wow! I'll try to take a closer look later, but my first question is the obvious... Does the VIN on the sheet match the VIN/stamped #s on the car?
It's not unusual to find the wrong sheet in a car.
Tav
Yes yes, that matches the VIN on the door, cowl, rad support, dash pad.
