I do not have any pics i will see if my friend has some. So if it is does it do anytjing to the value of the car or not? thanks
Most definitely. There were only about 200 four speed verts made that year. I would have to think the pilot four speed with an air grabber would be worth a premium.
But probably not as much as a 440-6

it was officially a "DEALER ANNOUNCEMENT UNIT" built for a dealer principal & salesman show that Chrysler Corp put on before the cars were officially offered for sale in late September
there were 6 ZONES (Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic, Prairie, Alberta, Western) in CANADA, possibly because of the large areas some zones had more than one show ????
for 1970 it looks like there are 6 (or more) identical (or near identical) PROMO SHOW CARS built for these DEALER ANNOUNCEMENT SHOWS for CANADA
PLYMOUTHS Road Runner convertible - burnt orange w/black interior 383 4-speed GTX hardtop - blue w/white interior 440HP auto Barracuda hardtop - red w/black interior 318 auto Barracuda Gran Coupe hardtop - red w/white interior 318 auto 'cuda convertible - orange w/white interior 440+6 auto DODGES Super Bee hardtop - blue w/blue interior 440+6 4-speed Coronet R/T convertible - white w/white interior 440HP auto Challenger convertible - burnt orange w/white interior 318 auto Challenger R/T hardtop - purple w/black interior 440+6 4-speed
anyone know of any others? there would've been a-bodies & c-bodies also represented in the US there were separate Dodge VS. Chrysler/Plymouth shows, I believe it was one entity in Canada - CHRYSLER CANADA LTD

it is an early assigned VIN, & these promo cars were "SCHEDULED" 802 - a Saturday before production began ……. the promo cars were usually built around 2nd week of August, you would need a broadcast sheet to confirm an actual "In Plant/In Process" date
the cars usually went to be displayed in a dealership showroom (or two) after the "announcement meeting" to be sold at some point as a "slightly used" DEMO car the wheel lip mouldings and any taillight trim would've been added after the factory by a dealership or early owner
what are the date codes on some of the cars original components: engine, transmission, wiper motor, dash cluster, etc.?
