Challenger Trunk Lid
« on: June 29, 2011 - 01:28:14 PM »
I thought all trunk lids were the same ....

My 72 Trunk had a Go-wing on it, before I bought it.  The previous owner sold it...leaving me with 4 holes of silicone.

My wife is talking about wanting to put a go-wing on hers, and since I don't I told her we could switch lids to keep from having to drill holes.

I popped both last night and noticed, there is an oval cutout on mine, but hers does not have cutouts. (where the bolt holes go)

What's up ... history facts knowledge?
65 Satellite     361 Ruby Red Poly

73 Challenger    340 Triple Black
87 Dodge Ram     318 Blue
88 Dodge Ram     360 Grey (+)
04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L Pewter Met.

I believe there are at least 4 different designs.  All the differences have to do with the understructure.  I believe it goes something like this....

1.  Late 69- early 70 had luggage rack holes only.
2.  Early-mid 1970 had luggage rack and pedistal spoiler holes.
3.  Mid 1970-71 with luggage/pedistal spoiler and T/A spoiler holes
4.  72-74 no holes.

(please correct me if I'm wrong)
