Operation Solid Deck Lid - Complete!

[chapdog105]

I finally got my hands on a decent decklid. My buddy (DrMopar here on 69RR) scored a parts windfall from a local Mopar hoarder.
It came off a nicely equipped 69 Sport Satellite that burned up. Very solid, and far better than the one I started with that's on my car now.
I hope this will wrap up the trunk alignment issues I'm having now.

It's going to have to go to the body guy. I should have it on for the Michigan spring, which may be in August with the way we're going.

Check it out...










I want to get out and drive my vert so bad! Michigan winters are harsh. Looking at this beautiful machine everytime I grab a beer from the garage is torture!

nice score on the decklid. AMD really needs to make these.
Ohio winter isn't much better than Michigans, I can't wait to get mine out.

I checked with AMD about 5 years ago about this. The rep said they were considering it.
I'm sure they'll never do it because it's a one-year deck lid. Most of the parts they reproduce are used for more than one year/model.

yeah it's a one year part, but on how many forums is someone always looking for one? same with '68 Coronet lids. make'm, they'll sell.

Sweet! If it's any consolation, winter down here hasn't been any more classic car friendlier.
