That under carpet broadcast sheet appears to be from your green GT. Correct?Might be one more under the carpet too

Where I grew up in New Richmond Wisconsin my neighbor Rich his brother and himself both had 70 fury 6brl cars orange one with black guts and stripes. One triple tx9 and a white one with black stripes. Awesome cars. We had a 70 super bee go mango orange burnt orange guts and 383 magnum and it was only our 2 houses on that country road. Black marks from one end to the other between those two guys and my old man. It was great!! I was lucky enough to see all 3 and lend a hand to rich while I was a young kid restoring the orange one and got to ride in it a few times and his 71 Chrysler wagon several times to baseball games with his son that was my age as well never thought I would see another one

Remember Guys no matter what the brochure said if you ordered a "show car" or a "Parade car" you could get anything combination buildable
AC on a 383 4 speed superbird no problem I rebuilt the motor on one with a 440 crank and rods , quench dome pistons, custom cam
looked stock

I truly do not want to derail this awesome thread but I have to ask, @wyrmrider do you have any fender tags or broadcast sheets or monroney reports that are "Y16 Sales bank/Show car/ Press Preview" that show a Non brochure installed combination.
Also, I am not finding any ordering forms that state "parade car". Where can I find that information please?
I would love to see some information that shows how ma mopar put things together in any combination if someone just ordered the correct Y code and checked the boxes.

Watched the video. Regarding the Road Wheels. The caps you referred to (and are most sought after for the Hurst 300s and SFGTs) were used from 1970- 1974 and although most associated with the C body cars, they were optional equipment on B Bodies in 74 (Code A56) and light pick ups:
The redesign of the dome and cap came in 75 (to coincide with the Cordoba and their Urethane wheels?) and went until the end in 81:
It can be confusing because the Chrysler Data books and documentation continued using the pic of the older dome and cap long after they had changed the design. The Data Book only caught up in 78 and showed the wrong cap and dome pic for the 75-77 Data Books.
Gotta love Chrysler Corp. saving bucks using stock footage.

"Anything goes" so long as it did not violate federal safety standards, federal emission requirements, state safety guidelines, state emission guidelines, corporate warranty guidelines, corporate marketing guidelines, corporate engineering guidelines, corporate production guidelines, third party (say NASCAR or NHRA) guidelines, common sense or decency.
The 'they built anything you wanted and would pay for' theory has a pretty high hurdle.

Drag Racers liked them as you mentioned because of weight savings, but also because they can be adjusted for zero drag. You can jack up a drum brake car and back the adjuster off so you can give the front wheel a spin and it keeps turning. Discs stop turning as soon as you let go of the tire and no easy way around it.
Stock Eliminator guys would run 9" drums on an A Body for Max weight savings.

Not sure if everyone has been following the progress but here is the latest video from Tom on the identifying the GT engine….
Video is on @Fury Pursuit ’s engine he found for his v code GT. Another video this morning on demousing the red GT.

Whoops, my mistake Tom. I guess I jumped to conclusions too quickly. At least its a GT 6bbl engine though
Just dropped the new video on the v code GT, enjoy! Will do one more next weekend on getting the engine out then probably won’t be any updates for a little while.

Watched the de-mousing video...The noise when you turn on the headlights is the relay for the headlight motor cycling trying to open the headlight doors. I've heard them cycle so as to sound like a buzzer, no doubt to warn the driver that the headlight motor has failed.

This is awesome.
I have seen many sheets with numbers but this is the first sheet with numbers that I have seen that connects specific parts of the car that the numbers were drawn on with the numbers on the sheet.
On the destroyed sheet that was under the carpet, was there any trace of the same sequence of numbers on the bottom?
At 10:14 there is the shot of the sheet when the carpet was first pulled up. Part of the sheet is still there on the bottom left hand corner and I suspect the other part of that sheet was on the carpet. Just curious if any of those numbers survived on the sheet.
Great video! Thanks for posting it.

To add to Tom's post; since I have been disassembling the car, I have some information for the MoPar community. I have been fortunate to be able to restore Bill C's/FuryGT's 71 GT and have had a chance to disassemble and examine four or five Fury GT cars.
So the numbers on the bottom of the Broadcast sheet, in the case of this Fury GT 6BBL, built at this plant, (not to claim this is true for ALL Chrysler cars at ALL plants) was for the line workers while assembling the car, I believe they are build codes and represent the last two digits in "line part number". FuryGT's promo 1971GT has the similar codes written in yellow grease pencil, that I believe are for the glass, carpet and console. The same is true for the Red 6BBL GT in this post the codes are for the line workers to know what part to get so they don't have to look at the "Line Build Sheet". (not the Broadcast Sheet/2 different things); the part numbers are on the door, likely written by the "Line Manager" of that section of the "line", so there would be less errors when installing parts,...."look at the door dummy", the part number is there!
So, I've been talking to a few known MoPar restoration folks in the industry and have been asking for more details/information etc. If anyone has or can document codes and numbers on any C body Broadcast Sheets and show the numbers on/in the cars etc, that would be very helpful. It is my opinion that at least some of the codes on the bottom of Broadcast Sheets were for specific parts of the build of that car. I am aware that many E/B/A body Mopar's have notes and numbers on the bottom of Broadcast Sheets; some are "time stamps" or notes for the line manager/ workers etc., notes for parts, assembly etc.
In this case I believe the numbers on the Broadcast Sheet and then written on the door are for glass/carpet/seats and possibly the remote mirror....they are there for the line workers to confirm.
Also, after doing more research, (which you really have to disassemble a car to do)....the B-S that is written on the red 6BBL fury is for the carpet and seat callout. The B-S means "Bucket Seats", which is verified by the manufactures tag (JP Stevens) they list the part, the number, the color and B-S, for Bucket Seat carpet. So that mystery is solved!
I once owned a 1969 Fury I that was a Washington State Liquor Control Board, car...AKA the "booze cops" as alcohol was regulated back in the day. The bottom of the Broadcast Sheet had three X's in it like this: X X X which is the old way of identifying "Whiskey" Tripple XXX means booze. It was a "joke" on the line, I'm sure, as the car was ordered directly from the State of Washington Liquor Control Board......the car is in Germany now, fully restored.
So, much more to research on ALL MoPars but moving forward at least,...if you can help, please reach out.
What do you think an "!" means under remarks?
Thank you for this information.
Thanks for letting us know and paying enough attention to make note of all this.
Since you have taken a few gt's apart and have seen multiple broadcast sheets I am wondering if you have found any of the gt's that retain their "build sheet" .

You bet!
Every GT I have owned has had a Broadcast Sheet in it, but no Chrysler plant Build Sheets.
I do know of other MoPars that have had partial or all of a Build Sheet, which is not the same thing as a Broadcast Sheet.
