Modlbldr Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The reissue of the Chevy Racer's Wedge is boxed as a 72 but the original I have is boxed as a 71. Were any of the originals boxed as a 71 or did they change it with the reissue? My bumpers and the chrome tree are stamped with 71 too.

Rob Hall Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) They changed it with the reissue, presumably because the AMT pickups have been issued as ‘72s since the 90s. Edited March 29, 2023 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Ok. That's what I figured. Makes sense to me. I just never noticed there was a difference in the years. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 The minor alterations have a by-product of making it tougher for some less-than-reputable sellers to pass the reissues off as originals. I can't say that the changes are ever done with that in mind, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
