Sorry, not the TV car. The TV car sported a 71 front grill with 4 headlights. Also, the TV car did have a Rally dash with a tach. My guess is the TV car was a 71 Barracuda convertible with a 72 tailpanel and taillights put in to look current year.
I wouldn't put the car back as a convertible the way it is, that was a butcher job on the so called rolled edges. Get doner or aftermarket metal pieces to make a convertible right. Brady Bunch, George Barris whatever, doesn't look right.
When Chrysler had contracts with certain shows, Brady Bunch, Mannix, and Mod Squad, they took '71 E-Bodies, and dressed them.up as 1972 cars, they actually were1971 legit droptops, they were made to look like 1972 production vehicles!!! Chrysler did away with E-body Convertibles after 1971!!! Mopar Nate, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I can tell you this. It's not the Brady Barracuda. The convertible used a specific Convertible only A post. It is different from the A Post the hard top used. The Brady car was a 1971 with 1972 updates. All convertibles used the A Post with the chrome surround. You can clearly see that in the car when Greg is backing the car into the driveway. The line you see on the hard top A Post is from the top when put up. Because of vibration and body flexing from driving the car, it will create that line you are seeing. Convertibles have reenforced frames to strengthen the body. This one probably doesn't unless the person who chopped the top did so. Side marker lights were mandated by the government and are on all cars manufactured starting January 1, 1968. Here is another way you can test your theory. Look at the build date of the car. This episode aired on March 10, 1972. My guess is that it was filmed up to two weeks ahead of time. So the likelihood that the car on the Brady Bunch was manufactured between August of 1971 up to sometime in late January. If the car you have was manufactured after January and especially February through July of 1972, then there is further proof that this is not the car.
Movie set vehicles were not intended for sale to the public and were not assigned a VIN number.Where is the VIN number on this car or the fender tag.The Brady Bunch 72 convertible was the 71 with the rear panel and grille changed to 72 specs.
They also had a 1971 blue Barracuda they use that was identical to that car. I bet they used the same car but changed out the tail panel if Plymouth didn't have a Conv in 1972. And the reason i say that, in Smokey and the Bandit, They used 1976 Trans Ams and used the 1977 front clips because the '77 models weren't in production yet.
I saw a video a long time ago where someone was talking about the car, there was one part where it was stated that the taillight panel was changed for the show to make it look like a '72 model
From my understanding, the Brady bunch car was on loan from Chrysler and went back to Chrysler. You have a 72 that was modded to be a convertible. The Brady car was a 71 modded to look like a 72. So you're missing the point when you think your 72 was the 71 in the series.
Wow! You may have found the holy grail! What this will do for your channel could be awesome. I'm in love with this car👍 what a find! I really hope it is the Brady bunch car!
If it’s the actual car used or not I don’t care, I just love it! I hope it is that car as it would be such a cool part of pop culture to restore and enjoy
The cars used on the show were real convertibles, not a hardtop with the roof cut off. That's a horrible looking windshield header. 🙄

Why can't we see the car rather than you face walking around in a circle?
It’s not the car

Just look for the hole in the top when Bobby stuck the umbrella through it when he was being a wiseass on Greg's date!
