While I understand what your point is here, if you look at the internal Chrysler work order where it says &quot;The cars are to be programmed as regular Dart GTS with code 62 383 engines...&quot; I could see where the body plant might have included the 383 emblems. I know if I was wanting to drive one of these on the street back in the day, I certainly would have wanted the 383 emblems on there! I suppose it's possible that the Mr. Norm dealership removed the emblems on some or most of the cars, either due to their marketing desires or personal customer preferences [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
