This LA car lacked front wheel well undercoating as well




Did it have sort of a black dip line like we are seeing with the A-bodies?

Would options not listed on the fender tag be an LA plant thing as well? I ask because my Duster has disc brakes and 3spd wipers but its not listed on the tag?

Would it be correct to assume that to correctly restore the underside (floor pans) it would be black with red overspray?

Has anybody restored an LA car correctly, and is there pics/ website anywhere showing it?

I had an La Car but the only thing that I can remember different was that there were no holes drilled in the trunk floor for the left exhaust hanger, car was taken apart before I got it but it had the original trunk pan it it.

Only if it were power disc (B51)it would show on the fender tag, it sould show j25 for 3 spd wiper though. right?

Nothing on the tag for the wipers which I found odd since they and the brakes were extra cost options.

I think b51 just means 'power' brakes as my 6bbl car has b51 & has drums. Does have j25 on the tag for the wipers, though.

The Duster clearly has the 3 spd wiper with the pushbutton elec washer, which should be J25. Wiring to the pump is there and untouched factory wires. The car is pretty much unmolested and stock. No evidence on the floor of a foot pump being screwed in at one time either.

Also it should be code B41 for the disc brakes, non power.

Yes, just like all mopars of that era did, they were all dipped up to about the upper door hinge before comming out of the coating tank. The only thing really unique about the LA cars is that most if not all of them had a black colored dip, and that it is now looking like many of them had no forward undercoating which would have hidden/burried the dip line.
