Very cool!  I have a '71 V code Challenger, not an N96 car though.  Rarely seen compared to '70s!
What are some details on the car, color, trans, options?

here is the org. window sticker ....  this is the only 1971  440-6 shaker in gy8   that I am aware of .... as far as I know , there were only 7 gy8 rt's made in 71. there are a few other shakers in gy8 but they are not big blocks.
