Have you chipped off undercoating from the wheel wells to see what color is underneath? no on the headrests and not on the the undercoating but we have found traces of red in a lot of weird places --on sealer in the eng compartment, on the torsion rods for the trunk lid(along with that are being sprayed black), and behind the grille its blacked out and theres red under the blackout as well 70 Challenger Convertible 340 six pak CLONE? 70 Duster real FM3 car 65 Dart Charger FOR SALE #NONIKESEVER A Real man aint afraid to drive PINK!!!! 67 Plymouth Valiant PILOT CAR 273 Commando 4 spd

The silver paint appears to be a factory job as well, extensive coverage in every area I was able to check. Further investigation as it is dissasembled may lead to a more conclusive call on when that occured. 6438976-67Interior.jpg (92 downloads)

Can you get the engine assembly numbers off the front of the block (behind the power steering pump just below the head mating surface)? 6438978-67Valiant.jpg (86 downloads)
