Why all the Factory Markings?
Recently we had a question from Team Member Dave Miller regarding a “457” factory marking he found under the rear bumper of his Cale Yarborough Spoiler II. This is a common question that has been asked before. It is obviously a strange location and marking. The marking is never the same from one car to the next! What is it?
We have previously answered this question and have received several comments. When you read one of our Posts always scroll to the bottom of the page to read what has been added in the Comments by our Team Members. Often times that is where the really good information is. Thank you to Dave Miller for asking the question and reminding me that some of our older Posts need to be published again to bring that back up for newer readers. Below is a link to the original article and comments.
Does your Cyclone or Spoiler/Spoiler II have marking similar to this? This marking is located just to the right of the driver’s side rear bumper mounting holes in the photos at the top of this page. However, you might find yours anywhere along this rear panel, see the article below.
My Talladega, VIN 201121, has the rotation number, 624, on the right front side of the radiator support, on the rear axle center housing, and in red marker on the back side of the door data plate. I really like all the details.
Thanks, Elmer Thornton
