Haven't owned too many A bodies over the years, mostly B's and E's, but here are two of the A's I've owned. 69 GTS factory 383 console 4 speed  and 72 duster 340 4 speed.

They are real hard to find. I was told they were suppose to be put on GTS's but many never got them from the factory.

Hemiken, They are finally repoping the hood inserts. If you need info, let me know.
Yea, from the information i have gathered, the nose piece was only ever meant to be available on the Big Block GTS cars.......... Tony's parts does a repro in chromed plastic, but mine is a real one and is made of diecast :2thumbs:

I have seen the repro hood inserts, i will eventually get some for my Dart. :cheers: thanks.

It was a Valiant wagon 4 door...........
i changed it into a delivery, no such thing as a delivery but their is now :bigsmile:

68 Dodge Dart Sedan Delivery. Now.
  Ken i wouldn't have recoginsed it as a Valiant, what model, a VE? Australia change all the grilles and modified the tail lights. Just as we here in Australia put American grilles in our cars what would the Americans think of our grilles in their cars especially the VF & VG with the park lights in the front guards/fenders? and the retangular head lights from the VG?   :bigsmile:
