The rarest option

[Challenger6pak]

I'll do some research on it.

[EB3-GranCoupe]

There was a 1970 Gran Coupe at the Fall Daytona show a few years back that had P45 - Power Trunk Release listed on it's build sheet.

Here's my 2 cents:  A35 - Trailer Towing Package.
I once saw a Barracuda in a field with a trailer hitch and some kind of round electrical connector in the tailight panel. I do remember seeing that horseshoe type bracket on the car that's in the e-bay ad.

Do you think the one in the auction is a factory hitch or just a period correct one?   

I have to look at mine because I wonder if mine is a factory one or if it says "U-haul" on it somewhere...    The original owner put it on, from the 70's.  Not sure if it was from the dealer or elsewhere.

Will there be a Pentastar/ factory part # on it I assume?  Or did the dealers use an aftermarket company for the hitch?

I have never seen this on any cars and not sure what cars would have got them.

A18 Senior Citizens Special (70) - was this Jacksonville FL only as well?

[burdar]

I'm just guessing here but I would think that the hitch would have been dealer installed.  Maybe the assembly was put in the trunk at the factory but the dealer accually installed it.  I can't see the line workers taking the time to install that.  I mean they didn't even install the hub caps or trim rings...those were all shipped loose in the trunk for the dealer to install.  Even the T/A and AAR front spoilers were shipped loose in the trunk.

I thought that was a Buick/Oldsmobile only option....

To go back to the 'Cuda Billboard numbers, I show that out of all the US-spec cars, 32.1% had this option. This is over 1800 units - well above the 200 claimed.

[Super Blue 72]

Wow Diego!  YOu're full of all sorts of good info!  Welcome to the forum! 

['Cuda Hunter]

Yeah, I would like to see some of those number charts you have Diego.

So, the A18 is for the 70- 71 coronet custom 4 door sedan.

 I do believe that is the only car that got that treatment.  Not sure what all was in that option but only one car apparently.

[Diego]

Well, it's a list from GG. I'm guessing I can't post a jpeg here, but I can list stuff if I type it.

['Cuda Hunter]

Diego, Pmed. 

I don't want to hijack the thread.

Who's got another rare option? 

[Topcat]

Bench seat option.


Anyone have that?

[JS27N0B]

Bench seat option.


Anyone have that?

Is that technically an option? Thought it was standard equipment.

you're right. The rarest Standard item for that matter.
