    I stand corrected. I suppose this is not a true R/T. It looks like it is the High "H" model. Fooled me!! Im still going to dress it as I was before my heart was broken in this research. (LOL) Its gonna look like an R/ T as I originally planned. Thanks for all the great feedback, I truly appreciate it. I just received the engine detailing paint kit from POR 15 today. I will be painting the 340 this weekend.. Will post some pics as soon as I can...

    Don't be heart broken mate, if it's on your VIN it is as close as an R/T as your going to get some may even say it is an R/T. Is it the numbers correct engine? If it's not you should drop in a Big Block and make a true replica.

    Numbers or not, R/T or not your car will still be killer bud.  :cheers:

    There is certainly no shame in having a Challenger 340, they handle much better than the big block cars. Number wise, they made fewer of the 340 cars vs. the R/T models too.  :thumbsup:

    Adding extra weight like R/T emblems will only slow you down.  ;)

     :iagree:  Nothing to be ashamed of here!  It's still a cool '70 Challenger!  Hope you're not too let down.  Sorry if you are.  :-[

    Like Barry said, it'll handle better and plus you'll be cruising by the big blocks at the gas pump!

    I dunno, if you already have the R/T emblems, why waste 'em!  Toss them on and give it an R/T look, sort of along the lines of the A66 package!

    Go for it!  :thumbsup:

    Hey Guys... Thanks for the words of advice. I will definately be moving forward as planned. I guess  I just assumed that it was an R/T when I verified the VIN. The VIN is JH23H0B6348435 I dont have many good pics right now, here is one of the most recent ones..on her way to the body shop for a face lift... Thanks again!!!
