The heavy-duty (and heavy) Dana 60, with a 9¾ in ring gear, was standard equipment with manual transmissions and 440-6bbl and 426 Hemi engines, and was optional on those with the automatic transmission.

By the 1971 model year, the factory supercar had fully evolved from the bare-bones Super Stocks of the early '60s into highly refined luxury machines. The engines were larger then those first 413s, but so were the bodies. It was now possible to order a large number of additional option packages, ranging from exterior trim to Super Trak Pak drivelines. Below is an alphabetic list of what could be had when you were ready to order that new Hemi 'Cuda, Charger Super Bee, or Demon 340 thirty years ago.
