ECS systems were in place on the California cars in 1970, a year earlier than other mfg plants. And what other specific items and options were available exclusively to LA built cars?



Not all LA built '70 cars have ECS. ECS was required for all cars to be registered in the state of California. All assembly plants built ECS vehicles. The only OPTIONs I can think of that were NOT available on LA built cars are HEMI & sunroof. LA built cars were SOLD NEW or built to order for dealerships as far east as Pennsylvannia & Mayland (but I would think all 50 states recieved new cars from LA). In '70 LA was the only plant to build 3 different body platforms (A, B & E-bodies).



One other BIG "option" that was never offered out of the L.A. plant was a convertible, at least as far as E Body cars go.
Also, from my listing of M46 equipped Barracuda's, the VAST MAJORITY of them came from the L.A. plant. Don't know why that is. Maybe Barry can shed some light on that.
