Name that hole 2
« on: July 25, 2004 - 09:51:49 PM »
Can anyone show the exact size and location of the special antenna hole on AAR
'CUDAs?

I'm researching a stripped '70 body that someone has but no VIN or documents

The firewall stamping area didn't have a VIN on it?

Yeah it has that

Looks like    E0  130805

I know the 130805 is the 30805th vehicle made in that plant that year but I Don't

E indicates a 6 cylinder car not an AAR,  the antenna was on the rear 1/4 approx 8"  back from the start of the trunk lid

This hole was next to the start of the trunk lid so someone must have added it

I didn't know that the letter on the cowl showed the engine size

I thought it was just on the VIN plate of the dash :-[

Not to get off the topic too much...But if you ever have an E-body, at least my '73 Chally, stripped down to just the inner fenders on the front, you will notice Chrysler actually stamped the upper right hand side of the cowl/firewall with a large "E"....I had everyone around here impressed with the minds of those Chrysler guys back then. ;D :P

Here's the update
Got the car "what's left of it" but it has alot of rust free panels
paid $100 bucks but it's cut in several pieces :-\

The frame parts look O K but the rear panel and roof are gone and some dork
cut off the rad support and the shear panels to save weight :P
gonna need pieces parts so I just have to find somewhere to hide them

  I understand that the cowl and radiator support stampings have the model year and build plant reversed from how they are listed on the fender tag/build sheet. In this case "E" would represent a California vehicle and "0" would represent 1970. Can anyone else check thier respective stampings to confirm this?

That's cool

To bad there is nothing left of the car but chunks
Hope it's not an AAR
