Is there any code on the broadcast sheet that would indicate a body color painted spare wheel?
Lots of nice original details on this Superbird!

I wonder if the vin stamping on the trunk rail is wrong like the one on the radiator support. WINGNUT

Very nice honest car.   A DSAC member in Ohio bought it in 1977.  His boys both have Birds.    This one has not covered a lot of miles since then.

Yep.

The spare wheel rim was body color on cars with hubcaps.

Black with wheel covers, Rallyes or Magnum 500s.

I was wondering the same thing...

Broadcast sheet.. "wheel color = EV2" so it was originally a steel wheel / poverty cap car and all 5 wheels get body colour painted over their black base coat.

[odcics2]

Impressive!


Not even a paint chip on the cone!    


I would have liked a few more photos, though!

Thanks for the reply! I have sent you a pm with more questions.
Thanks! MJ

Yes - That did change around the time of the '71 model year....I forget the month

John, 17 - EV2 - 17 is a 14" steel wheel car all painted EV2. 88 is the wheel cover and I can't find a code for it. 89 is standard stainless hub cap so maybe 88 is the poverty dish cap? Note there is no information in the "W" section lower down on the broadcast sheet for special wheels.

Figured I'd may as well share with everyone the information I saved a few years ago.

My car is WHEELS 71 - TX9 - 28 and 43 for covers. So 15 x 7 Rallye Wheel on car, spare painted Black TX9 and spare is a 15 x 6 steel wheel and car has 15" trim rings. Has W21 in the "W" section lower down on the broadcast sheet to again show Rallye wheels.

Your first car 61 - TX1 - 16 makes sense to me.. 14 x 6 Rallye Wheels and a 14 x 6 steel wheel. You sure your code isn't TX9 and not TX1 for color? DOn't know what X1 would be if anything as a color.

Second car doesn't make sense unless codes have dyslexia. your 36 - 1TX - 91 I'm lost on.  63 would be 14 x 6 magnum 500's but I don't see a code for 19 if the 91 is backwards and same deal with the TX1 / 1TX.

Wayne,
Your not going to believe this one!
After your reply I dug out the broadcast sheet for the second car and row 4 is all off by 1 space.
The first number for the vacuum fitting all the way to the left is missing.
Then in the last space all the way to the right you can see where one number was typed over the other! WOW!
So if I move everything back to the left 1 space I now have ROAD-61, COLOR-TX9 and SPARE-16.
Makes more sense now!
MJ

88 is the wheel cover and I can't find a code for it. 89 is standard stainless hub cap so maybe 88 is the poverty dish cap?

Yes, that's correct.  2944088 is the part number for Plymouth Division (standard) stainless hub caps, with the Broadcast Sheet's Build Code of 88.

2944089 is the Dodge Division equivalent...
