70CUDACONVERT OP member 7 Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 9 NY, NASSAU	It was brought to my attention that there are differences with 1970 Deck Lids. So I am told. At Carlisle I was able to observe that some Deck Lids on the back have 4 holes to accommodate the optional rear wing (70 option only) and others that have 2. My 70 Cuda does not have the 4 holes. My question is what is the correct Deck Lid if there is any differences in the Deck Lid for 70 E Bodies only? Any input will be of great help.

70CUDACONVERT OP member 7 Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 9 NY, NASSAU	Thanks for the great pictures and explanation.I thought the GO WING was a 70 option. Then I can understand to have only 2 holes after that. So how was it determined what car will have the proper Deck Lid installed? I have a late production car.

Spring - Luggage rack, J81 spoiler & J82 spoiler provisions. This last style was used into the 1971 model year & then for '72 it was phased out. I have seen ONE early '72 with it so far though.

To the OP - do you have any reason to suspect that your deck lid is not original to your car?

70CUDACONVERT OP member 7 Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 9 NY, NASSAU	The only reason I am questioning the correct deck lid is because another 1970 Cuda owner brought it to my attention.It just so happens he has the same one I have. But he was told about the 4 hole cut out was correct. He has an early production and mine is a late production. I don't think it was replaced. The first picture posted is the one I have.

You are correct, it is the standard one size for all applications 72-4 lid. Unless you ordered a luggage rack, then it would have the four holes with studs from the factory. But ALL 72-4 lids have that same underside.
