Would body side moldings be identified under the "V" code? It's possible the car could have had them originally. When I got the car it didn't have any. It had been repainted at some point, so they could have been removed. If I can post the "V" code on here, would anyone be able to translate it for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The body side moulding (if '70 and '72 is the same.) would be indicated by a V5* code, the * denoting the color. Most popular I would imagine being the black, so that would translate into a V5X code on the fender tag/build sheet.
If I am not mistaken, body side moulding had studs that went through the body metal, yes? That would mean that there would be holes on the back side of the ORIGINAL body sheet metal even if there was the removal of the body side moulding, as many owners did as some didn't like the look of it or else it interfered with the look of adding stripes later in the cars life. If I am correct, if you had body side moulding, you couldn't get a stripe package. My '72 Rallye had scoop/strobe stripe deleted I think because it had the factory body side moulding.
If you have the SE option, would V5* show up on the fender tag or would it be "assumed" you get it with that option package? I could imagine it showing up on the build sheet though...
