splash shield weatherstrip

The picture in post #14 is a 69 notch that was very original and the owner was quite nice to let me take photos of every inch of the car. In fact he wanted me to take anything loose I desired if I needed to get better pics.

So at a minimum 69 Auto equipped cars had the metal starter shield with rubber attached piece. My 69 383s has the 3 holes on the underside of the frame for it but was not there when I got the car in 84.

Like said in a previous post I think most had been tossed long ago.
