Flip top and locking gas cap
« on: December 03, 2006 - 06:02:17 PM »
did the flip top and locking gas cap have a fender tag code?

 I suppose many got added after but if it came from the factory would it show on the tag?

I asked Barry this a few days ago he said it would have show up on the broadcast sheet and not the fender tag.

  :iagree:    J46 would not appear on the tag.

The exception would be a Challenger T/A since it was included with the A53 package, but still no J46 actually listed on the tag.

Forgive me guys, I deal with 1970 questions day after day and my mind gets stuck in a rut.

J46 is a legitimate 1971 fender tag code.

Sorry for any confusion,
Barry

So its legit for a 71 but not a 70?

Yep. It was an option both years, but it should only be on 1971 fender tags.

Some 1971 coding started to creep into some late 1970 built cars, I will take a look and see if I can spot any just for kicks.........

Guess what? I did find two late 1970 build Challengers with J46 on the tags. The tags look legit.

One more thing for me to start keeping any eye out for.  :thumbsup:

That cap is original, but there is a rubber cup that attaches to the door that keeps the cap tight & prevents the door rattling...
