1972coronet Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 BTW : I positively love how your restoration turned out !
Mercelo Posted April 21, 2016 Author Posted April 21, 2016 The body-coloured grille was an option , and was limited to certain colours ( from memory : Sno-White , B5 blue , B7 blue , Sassy Grass , Butterscotch , Tor-Red , E5 red , F7 or F8 green ) . The body-coloured grille was also part of the Elastomeric ( rubber ) Bumper Package ( option also included front-only , or front and rear ) , which was also limited to certain aforementioned paint colours. Same goes for the 'painted' mirrors (and the option for one ( driver's side ) or both .The so-called "Billboard Stripes" was standard with 340 , 383 HP , 440+6 , and Hemi . A "delete" option was also available . Thank you John, thats great information....
High octane Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Thanks for the info Chad, I thought the Pitch Fork was on the '70 Coronets and Bee's, but perhaps I'm mistaken. Now that I think of it.... Isn't it called a Power Bulge hood??? Dave the silver is just left over chrome on the valve covers...You see I sanded the chrome off, I never dipped them in chrome stripper...I do now!The "power bulge hood" was on the '68 & '69 Dodge Coronets, both on the Bees and the R/Ts.
Custom Mike Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I remember that hood being called a Pitchfork hood.
Rider Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Some really great mods/corrections, fantastic end result.
