What colors were offered on the R/T 1971 challenger?
« on: August 26, 2006 - 03:59:10 PM »
I have a question for you guys... I just bought a 1971 R/T Challenger thats in over all really great shape but needs a paint job. What exactly were the optional factory colors for that year? I've searched over the net but have yet to find any form of list. Thanks in advance. :working:

Assuming you mean the optional high-impact paint colors, there were five:

Plum Crazy
Green Go
Hemi Orange
Butterscotch
Citron Yella

Thanks for both of your responses! I'll post some pictures of my car as soon as I get the paint job done.

Good color links but not all the 70 colors made it to 71 (like the pink) whereas something like citron yella was 71 only (and is a great color - notice my 71!)
