Plum Crazy T/A
« Reply #15 on: August 12, 2013 - 09:04:16 PM »
Beautiful T/A!!!   Will it be in any future Mopar Magazines?  I don't recall seeing it any any past issues of any Mopar magazines.

Keep an eye on Mopar Muscle in the January issue.....  :thumbsup:

Sweet pictures!  Love how you got the sky in the background and nothing else . . . so is that at Carlisle on the hill on Sunday maybe?    I know alot of cars go home but ??  Or is that maybe Thursday . . . ??   :clueless:

Mopar Muscle had Lulospeed (lulospeed.com) take the pictures on Sunday at about 2:30pm after the car was released from Building T, John did a great job!

The louver's were added on Koby's car. :2cents:

I have an AAR with louvers, so it's always the first question I ask. :smokin:

Cool option J68 I believe for the rear window louvers. Recently seen it on a fender tag for another  FC7 T/A. That option really fits the period for these cars. :smokin:

It's a pretty rare option, I think there's like only 8 or 9 AAR's known to exist with them....

Last time I talked with Koby, he was taking these off the car. Haven't seen him post in awhile, maybe he'll chime in.

I read the story about your quest. It's great you got it back! Looks sweet with the white stripes. Dodge should of offered it as a choice on certain colors to begin with.

Nice T/A! white stripes and roof look very nice together. 

It's a pretty rare option, I think there's like only 8 or 9 AAR's known to exist with them....

Thanks for that info anlauto i didn't realize there were only that many AAR's known to exist with the rear window louvers documented from the factory i have one here, maybe others will chime in who have them also.

Alan is correct, these were added to the car by the Japanese owner in around 1998. He says they're NOS, I haven't removed them to look for the part numbers on the bottom of the brackets.

I do plan to remove the louvers in the future when I replace the vinyl top.

The Japanese owner recently sent me some more pictures. Before the louvers so pre-1998 and before the correct white vinyl top was installed (2001). He said Barry decoded the fender tag around that time and he didn't know it was coded for a vinyl top until then.

Attached are some older photos.







And a photo from California owner that sold to Japan. So 1990-1993 would be the approximate date of this photo.

I really dig the white top and stripes. If your father had carried through his plan, do you think he wanted to complete resto, or would a nice restomod have satisfied him?

That is the best looking t/a I have ever seen! That white stripe, vinyl top and interior against the plum crazy is just amazing.
