My original 440+6 car is a bench seat car, it's never been out of the car and is all original. My car has the support plates Barry asked about as shown on the ebay car. However, that being said, I am 99.9% sure that car on ebay did not have a bench seat from the factory, there is nothing that would change my mind short of an original Broadcast Sheet, I think, as mentioned above, that the fender tag was a typo. Not to mention that the car in question is so far from original (color change, engine swap, etc.) it could never be used as a "reference" example. The
ONLY reason I leave .01% in doubt is due to the "Never say never with Chrysler" escape clause should some
REAL document surface proving otherwise.
The reason I am so sure is that the 4 speed shifter will hit a bench seat in some positions, this could create a rather large liability for Chrysler should a car be nudged out of gear by accident by another interfering componant of the car like the seat (say when parked on a hill, etc.). It's not something they'd build IMO.
