Does anyone have a picture of the correct paint detailing of a 71 Challenger R/T taillight? Mine is all black and that does'nt look right. Also if you have a front grill picture, I'd like to see it too. I think I have a standard grill, grey color no RT logo. THANKS

I asked same question not to long ago, as far as your 71 grill goes though, im pretty sure there isnt an R/T logo on the grill anymore, i think instead they put the R/T hood decal on. Im not sure if this is correct either but my rear taillight bezel is argent silver. Ill take some pics today and post em up.

Guys, I feel bad nobody has responded here. I give you my un-official call... argent, argent, argent. I mean in the grill and tail panel. That's what I remember seeing at shows. The 71 Challenger didn't have the R/T badge in the grill like the 70 did.

Thanks, I'd like to see more posts, I read somewhere that the RT grill badge was dropped in 71 but what about the BLACK treatment for the grill and tail panel. To be honest, I think I'm going to change the tail back to argent, it looks better. (the front grill is the original argent color, no corretion needed)

I am new to the board here so first of all I would like to Hello to everyone. I have a 71 Challenger R/T. The tail light panel on an R/T to be correct should be painted Satin Black with only Argent located on the very thin flat edge of the outside of the panel. That spot is less than a 1/4" wide. As for the front grille this could still be debated. On an R/T, it is supposed to be molded black plastic that is somewhat glossy. However, I know of an unmolested survivor 71 Challenger R/T belonging to a friend that has an Argent finished one. Once again Ma Mopar probably put one on an R/T. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Thanks for the ads Super Blue !
Hey Orangecrush, that's a bit different from what I thought but I believe you, you wouldn't happen to have or know of any pictures of one would you?

This one's for giggles.� Not sure if this rear end is correct as there have been slight modifications done to this vehicle.� Actually I wouldn't mind one of these.

Looks like the tail panel is the correct color scheme but somebody really screwed up the "opera window" ha ha ha
