Yes, PG Classics does.

Here's an original instaled in my 68 Barracuda Notchback. Never originally available in that car though.

It's the same part as the original one I have in my car. I have held them side by side.

Now I don't think they were offered in a 70 A-body. But I think you can make it fit. The key is getting it to miss the driver side trunk support brace. It shouldn't be that much different than my 68 Barrauca Coupe (A-body).

The one tab on the end does not fit directly to anything in my car. But you can run a screw up to a piece of understructure for a little support (shown in my second picture to the left).

A sleeve around that screw would give it full support up and down. I didn't run a sleeve. I don't even think you really need to add that screw even, it pretty well support just with the four speaker bolts.

Tom, I don't think the one you have is the same one they are looking for. I have a fastback too in the defroster mounts up over the right side rear tire and blows through a slot in the trim panel. Where would the speaker possibly mount?? I have always seen guys simply cut the back trunk divider and mount the speakers there.
