Didn't it require the three speed wiper option also?

Just a little bid more to learn. To my understanding air grabber cars did not come with the fender braces.

well, the bolt is attached to cowl panel from back side ( I think tac welded in fact ), hard to install if wasn't made at assembly plant, and the RR from the hot rod mag is all original but the engine replaced from a 69 one ( still 440 factory 440 ). Not saying that I know about that but just analizing
