Saw this on ebay earlier and wasnt sure if this was correct. Did the 442 have red inner fender wells?

My vote is No on a 71 442

 

If we're voting, I vote yes
(no for 72)

 

71 442- no, 71442- W30 Yes!

 

I vote yes too.

 

yes 1971 W30s had red inner fender wells, 1972 went back to black but somewhere there is a thread that states the first few cars (6?) in 1972 had Red, once those were used up they went to black

 

Good Stuff. I had no idea.... But then again I am so green right now what do I know......

 

1971 W-30s had red inner fenders for the first part of the model year. Once the supply of red inners got used up, remaining cars got black inners. I'm sure someone will have info on the last production date with red inners.

 

One still has to wonder why someone goes through the expense of a correct resto like that then adds an incorrect wing on a convertible. Of course, the cam isn't an original either. And since the wing was added, cynical me always has to ask, what else was added during the resto?
