Does a 71 have 71 ?      

[cuda hunter]

Aren't 71's just straight.?

Yes.

That is one particular part that you never see originals for sale. You definitely have to go aftermarket, which kinda sucks. I can honestly say I've never seen an original set for sale anywhere.

[cuda hunter]

I've seen several sets for sale but they are always damaged.

Whats the best way to identify if they are original?

[RUNCHARGER]

One of mine was intact, the other one I had to splice together from 3 pieces. That was 20 years ago. They were on the bottom of the car so got damaged easily.

they are a cast part, made of the same material as SHAKER bubles, other hood scoops, Charger R/T door scoops, etc. (most/all reproductions are fiberglass) - so the original's back-side has detail & a part number

@ RUNCHARGER, do you have any tips for restoring a set in multiple pieces?  Do you remember what you used for bonding material?  Did you have to reconstruct any missing sections along the bottom edge?

[Cuda_mark]

Anyone have a good original set they are looking to unload? PM me if you do.

[RUNCHARGER]

I used fibreglass reinforced by window screen as I recall. Pretty easy to use a couple of boards to keep them straight when bonding them. Pretty sure I jigged up the screw holes as well with a board on the bottom.

Found this on the back of one.
