Welcome from Germany

Interesting.....a T-VON. I have and know very little about these letter von's. Learning. @69CoronetRT can you help inform me about the T.

Cool car @BE_Fury . Looks to be in really good shape!

Often found with Y24 Leasing.

So a build sheet is required to figure out if this is a Y24 leased car?

No. I think T code cars are usually/typically/mostly lease cars but I want to reserve some wiggle room in case another use pops up. ;)
It's pretty safe to say a T VON = a lease car unless that car's BS shows otherwise.

Here's one from '71

Again, anther reason to save broadcast sheets, window stickers, tags et al from cars when they are parted out. More info is always better.

I hope it will be roadworthy soon. I'm missing a few Parts.
The Horn Relay is currently not available.
I'm missing the Vyniltop Molding on the driver Side.
The Seat Seams are torn. I hope to become the Fabric from sms autoparts. I would like a ready made cover, but I couldn't find one.

I hope, that I can come to Homberg.

so... I got the horn relay and installed it. one of the two horns works great. the second is unfortunately very quiet.

sms autofabric sent me new fabric for the seat cover. an upholsterer who specializes in cars will repair the cover for me.

I also ordered the headliner and will renew it. a mouse built a nest in the sky... a lot of dirt came out...

Unfortunately, the Vyniltop trim on the driver's side is still missing

great to hear on the progress!

For the missing vinyl top trim, I suggest that (if you have not already done do) you first find each part number in the 1971 parts manual. Here is a link to the .zip file (be aware that it is large). More manuals, for other Mopars, are here:

https://mymopar.com/parts-manuals/

With the part numbers, you can then search / check online (not just eBay, but also places like Arizona Parts owned by @marty mopar, cbodies.com owned by Murrsy Park, etc), for what you’re after.

Thank you for your Answer. I have the Part numbers. This are 3419030 Right side, 3419031 Left side and 3419026 Center rear. I wrote to many sources in the USA, but unfortunately no one could help me.

The Parts seem to be rare. Accordingly I try to be Patient and wait.

@BE_Fury: 3419031 is available from Arizona Parts, owned by @marty mopar -- I have bought a bunch of parts from him in the last 4 years, and recommend him most highly.

You should also try Murray B. Park, who owns Murray B. Park - Used and NOS Parts for Chrysler, Imperial, Dodge, Desoto, and Plymouth

@BE_Fury : in addition to the folks I mentioned, I have also bought parts from cars parted out by members @kyle340 @70 Sport Suburban and @71Polara383 -- I vouch for all three. Kyle regularly posts items for sale, but you may want to reach out to him anyways. Ditto for the other two. Good luck!

I continued to work on the car. the headliner is out and the roof is painted.

i found mice and feces under the headliner.

 

[BE_Fury]

i was curious what the floor looks like. there was slight rust. So everything sanded down, degreased and painted

 

[ayilar]

Great update, @BE_Fury

For the trunk, are you planning on adding a layer of the original splatter paint?

I would like to move between "modern + good" and "original". so far i have not received an address for the color in germany. my focus at the moment is more on the interior. when i'm done with the interior i'll continue with the trunk

 

[BE_Fury]

I had some time today and laid the insulation

 

[BE_Fury]

the carpet is back in. now i have to wait for the delivery from sms autofabric so i can replace the seats, the headliner and the door panels

 

[BE_Fury]

I’ve become the delivery of SMS and a second from a eBay seller. Both headliner are the wrong. The Sailpanels are not fixed on the headliner. So, I’ve to wait for a third headliner. I hope, it would be the correct headliner for my car.

 

[Georg/BBTR]

Nice to see progress on your car, @BE_Fury! Hope to see you WITH the Plymouth at BBTR #08.

 

[BE_Fury]

The second Headliner didn't fit either. Now i sewed a Piece to the first Headliner. It’s not perfect, but okay for now.

 

[BE_Fury]

the transmission mount was unfortunately broken. I replaced the bracket with a ready-made kit, which is said to be more stable than the original.

 

[BE_Fury]

the transmission pan was leaking. I replaced the seal with a cork seal. I glued the seal in place with the appropriate silicone. that should last a few years

 

[ayilar]

Nice to see the progress! FWI, I have used a Prothane transmission mount (see here) on all my restorations. Zero issue thus far.
