What is the last 6 digits of you VIN and what is the date on your door sticker?

Thanks, Troy

My old R/T SE has a SPD of 723 & does not have the dimples... I guess it's suspect.....




My Shaker Challenger has the same SPD, is the same color as your car and is within 200 VIN numbers. Yet mine has the dimples.

Your car must be suspect

1. In 70, the original firewall tooling for the 70 E-bodies had no dimples
2. In 70/71 as California cars required the Nox device, the firewall tooling was revised with the dimples
3. In 71, cars being sold in California had the firewall dimples punched out to accomodate the Nox device
4. In 72, when all states required the Nox device all firewalls had the 3 holes punched out

Just my $0.02...

Early cars, no dimples.
Mid run, most cars no dimples but a few did.
Late run. most cars had the dimples but few did not.

As I said, I need more data.

I have aggree with many of you that there is not a cut off date like I thought there would be.

Not a problem. For that late of production it would be more common to have the dimples.

Seem like most of the T/As and AARs did have the dimples. Knowing when those cars were built that makes the most sense.

You're right. Had to look back, but no examples of LA cars with dimples.
