I am wondering if someone collects info on factory markings? I just pressure washing the rear end on my 1971 Superbee and alot of them survived all this time. I would like to pass some pictures of the markings and stampings onto someone that can use the info for restorations. I will have some pics soon but I have to grab my camera from my house. So is there a place that collects this type of data???
For the absolute best powder coating go to J.I.T powder coating, contact infomation is in my personal profile..

well here they are sorry they are camera phone pics,
If one were to start a database crappy cellphone pictures wouldn't be the media of choice I would think.

The markings you found are really only 'correct' for your car. Not all cars were marked the same exact way. Some cars have more than others.
I am sure folks would like to see them just the same though.
Very true Barry. We know a guy who documented an all original T/A that my buddy owned. Next thing you know, there was a fully restored T/A running around that had identical markings to my buddy's all original car. An assembly line worker would not have made the exact same looking mark on every single car.

Here's a link to the ICCA home page. They have some reference photos posted. I know, I know.....not suitable for OEM judging, but I added some to my car just to make it a little more interesting to look at when I am underneath it cleaning, lol. Rod ICCA page

Thanks. It was definitely an "R" A lot of the paint was rubbed off but there was enough of it there to tell that it was looped together. A friend of mine that is pretty knowledgeable in these cars said the "RB" stood for 3.55 gears.

Great info FJ5 Fish! You've really got me thinking now. I studied that think for close to an hour and I kept coming up with R, but the F would definitely make more sense. Here is another picture. Justin "CornDog"
