Looks like you did some excellent work. Those 3rd Gen Chargers look awesome done up properly. It looks like your 71 Challenger hit eBay at least once in 2009, and then was for sale at MotoeXotica in the St. Louis area in 2014. http://www.motoexotica.com/inventory/listing/1971-dodge-challenger-rt/
Sweet ride!
Thanks, Scott.

Duffys had it for sale for $65K. lol I think at that time it went for under 30K on eBay. Mopars were always a labor of love. I know a lot about these cars having restored/owned several over the years. I'm 61 now and the Mopar hobby hasn't been the same for a long time. But I do get nostalgic every once in awhile ;-)

incautious, those are two really nice cars.  Would love to see more photos of them.

I saw this on the MotoeXotica site:  "This highly optioned 2 tag car is one of only 27 sunroof hardtops built in 1971 and the only Plum Crazy one."

It doesn't get much better than that.

Are the challenger and cuda sunroof's the same?

Are the a body sunroof's the same as the e bodie's sunroof?

I am not 100% sure on this - but I believe each body line had a slightly different size sunroof opening. The possible exception to this is the B-bodies and E-bodies. Since the front end of the 70 E-bodies was basically derived from the B-body line, their roofs should have similar widths. So B's and E's might be close to the same. I think the E-bodies have a shorter roof line? So the sunroof panel might be a tad shorter. I really need to get some measurements together! I have A body manual measurements and B body power measurements in my notes somewhere..........
