did T/A s ever come with A/C  ?

if not, A/C could be a big selling point.   Id say in that case, go R/T

On the sunroofs, the ones for Challengers and B-bodies will fit, Barracudas are smaller. The A body sunroof panels are smaller, and the C-bodies larger. Since ASC did the sunroofs for Ford as well, I have heard that the sunroofs from some Fords will fit and work in Challengers and B-bodies.

AC was not available in the T/As or AARs.

T/Ake care,
Barry

choppintime - NICE T/A (Sorta :P)!

Thank you to all who have responded... A/C is a must here in Texas! So regardless of which one I clone it will have A/C... I forgot that T/A's didn't have A/C! Dang!

Everyone else... I am curious what your reasonings are behind making your suggestions? I view the car as an investment as well as want to enjoy it... some of the suggestions seem pretty random.

I'd vote RT clone ( course, I'm biased, because that's what I've got! )

Thanks, still have that car. Need to get it out of storage this summer and drive it. Been neglecting that car. All numbers matching car and an M22 to boot. The Mopar bug bit me and I've neglected my Pontiac a bit.

I'd say biggest ROI is R/T with shaker hood...
