How many 71 GTX s where built in Los Angeles Plant
I just purchased a 1971 GTX 440 4 speed and I was wondering how many where built there with 4 speed Transmission

Re: How many 71 GTX s where built in Los Angeles Plant
Unfortunately, those specific numbers are likely buried in the Chrysler vaults forever. With only 327 GTX 440/4spds shipped to US dealerships, and with St. Louis Assembly plant being the primary Plymouth B-Body producer, not that many came out of the Windsor and LA plants. A very rough guesstimate would be no more than 30-40 GTX 440/4spds were produced at the LA plant in 1971. Hope that helps - and congrats on the new purchase!

Thanks, how can I find out what steering wheel and rims came with the car new. I know all the LA factory info is not available. I do not have a production sheet.The car was professional restored 10 years ago and I would like to get those two details. Thanks

Unfortunately, those items only show up on the broadcast sheet. And broadcast sheets are a pretty rare find in LA plant cars compared to the St. Louis plant cars. So with no solid documentation, it is left to the owners taste on what to choose for the steering wheel and rims. Personally, I like the Road/magnum 500 wheels on these cars. And the tuff wheel looks really good also. Good luck on whatever you decide!

Re: How many 71 GTX s where built in Los Angeles Plant
Steering wheels come up on eBay or Facebook marketplace once in a while, and the rims also. Good quality original items are very pricey. Both you can get as reproduction items at various Mopar parts places like Year One, etc - there are a ton of places to choose from. You can also put some Wanted ads on the appropriate Facebook pages, and on the FBBO and Moparts websites. Just take your time and do some shopping around.

Re: How many 71 GTX s where built in Los Angeles Plant
Probably not much help but my 440 4 speed GTX came out of Windsor with a Tuff steering wheel and on 15 inch rallye wheels.
I had the broadcast sheet from the car back when I was 18 and gave it to my parents for safe keeping and unfortunately it was lost somewhere after that.
