Any help is appreciated. Looks like a low option car.

Lynch Road fender tags normally don't show all the options.

I think E68 should be 400-4 Barrel High Peformance

Yeah.. that's what the decoder claims too.. the "P" in the fendertag gives us that for sure.  Quirky I guess.


Say... (Sean) wasn't this car for sale on FB just last week?  Any more photos?

Yes sir it is. I'll grab some more pics. Thinking of buying it. The seller keeps saying people are telling him it isn't an original 4 speed car but the tag confirms that, correct?

Those are the pics I have been sent, any red flags? Looks pretty clean to me.

Definitely says D21 on the one tag......which looks a lot nicer than the other tag. Wonder if it is a newer repop tag?

Not that I seen.  I like the car personally.

What is the argument that it isn't a 4 speed car?

Not sure, he just said people came up to him at Carlisle and told him it wasn't a 4 speed car.

People probably thinking the 4-speed wasn't available from 1973 and up - and not realizing that only applied to the 440 engine and not the 400.

I'd say the only thing not "real" is the blacked out hood.

I had a Lynch tag 74 rallye but it at least had the V21 mark on the fender tag.

This is a cool looking car.    Nice find.
