74 RR - recent air filter maintenance

I like this one. I wouldn’t pay that for it, maybe somebody would?

First time I’ve seen the air filter line. I’m assuming it was blown out by an air hose?

God those seats........

They offered those in 74. Seen a Silver car with them.

But what's the deal with this wheel opening moldings? Are these parts store stick-on ones?

It looks like there's paint showing right at the lip edge. Where factory ones wrap round. Or am I not looking at it right?

Yea I have seen them before as welll.....still horrid..... lol

Those are factory wheel lip moldings. Same ones on my 73 road runner

Those tires have got to be old. Haven’t been made in years.

I think the very low angle of the picture must be showing the red painted body lip that goes under beyond the molding then. I don't think you would see that red from standing eye level.

The air filter line is another example of wannabe marketing majors writing for sale ads.

Air filter maintenance is very important!! This could make or break the sale!

My original wheel lip trim attaches in holes around the edge with spring clips and do not wrap around the edge so the color does show. Seems like they were more for door ding protection than rock chip protection.

my 40+ years of working in a body shop says YES they are cheap stick on moldings.

Not stick on, 100 % original trim. There is a bolt in the 2 lower corners and the rest is spring clips through holes in fender lip.

He probably used Chatgpt. Lol!

Nope,,,original...

Quicker to snap moldings on than to screw them on...

Nice car, though I would think door trim would "work better" in all white.
And if you found yourself nodding off when driving, just look at the seats for a second !

(Like my old orange-interior '71 Duster - no way could you nod off in that car )

Seems priced well above market for a late RR, but it's one of the nicer ones I've seen, and it's not brown.

Yep. You are right.

Odd moldings to be like that. Mopar cheaped out on that one. But it is what it is.

Pictures of original and NOS moldings:

Agree, agree, and agree.
