Man, that blue 72 is REALLY blue

That 70 Cuda...MmmMMMmmm, Yeah!

Would like to go, since it is kinda-sorta in the neighborhood. The vendors and spectating alone would make it worth the drive.

Regarding the 1970 RT Convertible, how many real RT cars with the bulge hood had fender mounted turn signals? This is a clone cue for me, but I could be wrong.

Mine has the fender mount signals on an R/T and there not replacement fenders, used maybe but as far as I can find Dodge didn't offer them w/the power bulge hood even though you could get them on a 'Cuda but they were way out on the fender's edge so you could see them. I can't help but wonder though if there were exemptions made back in those days...I used to think that was a common practice...?

Generally, fender mount signals were not available on a 70 RT/A66 Challenger.
Look at code A01

I have seen a few RTs with the fender signals. They were all early cars with the signal mounted in the early or first position. Early were in the center of the fender and later, maybe not even mid year, were moved more to the outside of the fender. I don't know dates for the move.
