so there have been some filming stills sneaking out of the "71 GTX" used in the new Fast 8 film.

'72 roadrunner body, '71 GTX grille, '72 rear bumper, all black, '71 Gold shoulder stripes....

My GTX has the door top trim. what do the clips look like that hold the trim in place? I've got 3 of the 4 pieces, and if someone has a passenger side

I found these for an E-body...maybe they were the same?

I don't claim to have all of the 1972 RRs serial numbers but out of the 389 numbers so far I've collected over the years. I've seen others that haver close serial numbers with one being built at St. Louis an the other in Canada, and they're months apart. Yeah, it makes me scratch my head too! :? as...

cost savings? if the pressed one came second in the production run, i'm betting they needed to save a little money somewhere. Threads cost money to make.

I have a theory on the complete color change cars. 1. it was just a used car. 2. it wasn't nearly as easy to find the color you wanted in your used car as it is today. I think people would get their car, and had the attitude, "but i always wanted it (insert color), so they'd hit earl scheib and $100...

I love cars that aren't the mainstream colors...
