Did you swap out the rims then for the trip? They look different from the earlier pic.

The ones in the trailer pic are the ones that came on the car. The ones on the car in the driveway pic are off my SD. The SD was originally a hub cap car...

I don't even see srmmmm's post. I just noticed the red center caps in the trailer pic.

Thats odd..

Along with the red caps they had early lug nuts with black centers and the wheels were repainted a lighter gray.

Does it have a rear window blower, as I see 2 dash switches but don't see an 80 amp alternator?

Yes... that and power locks.

It's missing the RTS emblem on the glovebox. Is the emblem the same as the RTS bezel emblem on the later cars?

Here is a picture of the location of the RTS emblem from my '74.

On a '74 door, there will be a locating hole to mount the emblem.

Congrats - you really have a knack for finding the neat stuff!
Reminds me a little of a car that was a few neighborhoods over from me in Northern VA back in the early '80s. A dark teal '74 Formula 455 Ram Air, with white vinyl top and white interior, and no rear spoiler. It came up for sale at a decent price, but it had some lower body rust issues that I didn't know how to deal with back in those days. When I later learned those skills, I regretted letting that car get away - it would have been really sharp looking fixed up. Have never seen another one like it.

Kinda cool being able to buy something that I couldn't afford 30 years ago. At the time they wanted $4000 for it... I paid $19,000 more than that... inflation sucks.
