Besides the VIN on the door, radiator support and trunk lip is there a way to tell if it is a true GTX or a clone? I have not seen the car yet.

Not that these could not have been swapped, however if they are missing this might be something to questions as to why. The other thing to check for is the 3/8" fuel line, 383 runners would have been 5/16" (at least they are on 69's that may have changed in 70). You can never be to careful when buying one of these cars. good luck scott

STD radiator in a 440 and/or 440+6 GTX with an automatic is 22". You need 4-speed, A/C or an axle package for it to be equipped with the bigger radiator.
