Is This Hood Latch / Release Correct?

I recently bought the same item in an ebay auction without being able to look at my GTX, as it's in storage. However, The illustrations in both the 1971 and 1972 Service Manuals are different. Mainly the primary release handle as far as I can see. Can anyone look at this pic and tell whether it is c...

Re: Help With My "New" 71 GTX

Now that I'm finally fully awake -- pretty hard to recreate a fender tag without the "order number". Might be possible to establish the build date from dates on other tags with close sequence numbers, but the order number is lost unless found on a broadcast.

Re: Help With My "New" 71 GTX

Thanks. The paint on that tag almost looks like Moulin Rouge.

And here I thought I killed this thread when I posted that 'cuda pic. The guy I bought that car from thinks I'm nuts for wanting a '71-72 Plymouth B.

Re: Help With My "New" 71 GTX

Thanks. You can use the "Upload Attachment" tab just below the reply text window. If that's not working out, I can send you my yahoo address via private mail. I could understand not allowing reproduction VIN tag, but not fender tag. Moot point for now, Galen not taking orders. Full service machine s...

Re: Give me some direction please.

Nice car and welcome to the nest. Here's another perspective to at least consider: If, someday, you may be concerned about getting top $ for the car if you want to sell it, it's generally best to have it restored to all-original condition. The more popular or in demand the car, the more this is true...

Re: Help With My "New" 71 GTX

Well, lots of free advice and no pics of tags so far. When I get it out of storage in March or April I can check all the other places for the broadcast sheet. So far I only looked under the rear seat. Maybe I'll find it. Then maybe I can get everyone's approval for Galen to make a tag IF they have r...

here's what I see when I open a private message:

no "Reply" button visible. Also, nothing usable appears under the "compose message" tab, either.

Re: Help With My "New" 71 GTX

The only direct proof would be the original tag, the build sheets, or possibly the window sticker. The fender tag was "lost" or thrown away by the guy who last painted the car. A little strange. Unless the build sheet is behind the glove box rather than under the rear seat, it was lost/thrown away a...

Help With My "New" 71 GTX

Newbie here. Picked up a numbers matching U-code 71 GTX in late November. It was missing both the fender tag and the build sheet. I'm looking for info regarding what were standard features, what could be deleted, etc. I'd like to accumulate as many photos of fender tags and build sheets for 71 GTXs ...
