Rear valance

[IA6Barrel]

I’m just checking to see if I’m right... correct or incorrect for 1970 Cuda.

Only a small portion of valance is shown. Do you mean if it has Exhaust cutout holes or not ? Generally all of the 'Cuda models had the cut outs except of course the AAR which had side exhaust. It is possible that some California 'Cudas had turn down tips which would mean no cut outs.

I don't recognise this at all.

I know about the cut outs. I’m referring only the back of the valance. I don’t think the 70 rear valance had the 2 perpendicular supports - circled in below picture.

In this picture I found online... there are no perpendicular supports.

Can you read the part number on the back? Hard to read from the picture!
We can possibly identify the valance from the number.

I think it’s 3615011. I’m not good at finding by party number. But I think it’s more likely 72-74...???

I checked the part number in my 70-71 parts books against the 72 and 73 parts books
3615011 was for the splash pan for 72-and on Barracuda w/o cut outs

The 1970-71 splash pan was listed as 2963379 listed for Barracuda and of course the 70 AAR w side exhaust
There is a pan listed on flea bay with the 011 part number showing the same reinforcement ridges as your.

The one on my 73 has the two vertical reinforcements shown in post #4.

Another thought on the reinforcement brackets; AMD lists a set of valance brackets for the 71-74 Barracudas.
Auto Metal Direct Catalog; 71-74 style but some use them on 70 even though not correct

Like to hear from 70 Barracuda owners on what the back of a 70 valance looks like.
Just my thoughts.

factory pic clearly shows the bracket (support) on a Barracuda
I believe a bracket was also used on an early 70 Challenger

Thank you very much for taking the time to reference your books. I appreciate you letting me know before I bought the wrong one.
