Some 318 Super Bees were made in Mexico, not sure about R/Ts, but maybe?

What is the VIN? Any photos?

When i worked at Roebuck Chrysler Plymouth in 79 i remember making trips to the local Dodge dealer and seeing 318 Aspen R/Ts on their lot...

I should have more clear.  I friend of mine says he can "almost" get a 70 Chall. rt with a 318 suppose to be original.  Did Challenger rt's come with 318's?

The 318 was not included as the engine for the R/T option on the Challenger in either 70 or 71. Definitely worth looking into though. Let us know how it develops :thumbsup:

My '71 hardtop 318 came to me with R/T badging on the rear quarters and the grille.  Needless to say not factory installed.  Perhaps a real R/T with engine replaced, perhaps a 318 with a stick-on (or bolt-on) badge upgrade.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

But they made 340 R/Ts  :stirpot: :grinno:


383, 440, 440-SIXPAK and HEMI's were the only Challenger R/T package in 1970. I'm not sure about Bees etc but being a vague question and being on a E-Body board one would guess you're talking about R/T Challengers.
