    I just thought it was strange not to see a single R/T emblem on the car...I was thinking at least one on the trunk lid...I was pretty sure I've seen 1970's with the luggage rack and the emblem before.

    Maybe someone in the know will speak up...

    Nice 71 and the color is great which is the same color as my 71 challenger RT. I have heard of this but never seen one in person.

    I really wish that someone could produce an dealer order form from 1971.  That may help.  Nice unique car!   :thumbsup:

    I can understand the stripe delete.

    Wouldn't look right w/the body side moulding.

    Possible the owner had the dealer remove all R/T emblems in fear the car would get stolen???  Or maybe to fool his car insurance co.

    I believe only '70 R/T's had an

    In 1970 R/T's could be ordered with the longitudal R/T stripe (code 'V6*', with (*) denoting color code, this meant you got R/T badges on the grill and decklid and the R/T callout on the stripe itself.  If you ordered the bumble-bee stripe (code 'v9*', with (*) denoting color code), or stripe-delete (code V68), then you got R/T badges on the grill, both front fenders, and decklid, four total.  In 1971, R/Ts had NO badges on the grill or decklid or anywhere, only the '71 style longitudal R/T stripe (code 'V6*', with (*) denoting color code).  No 'V9*' bumble-bee for '71.  If it is a 'V68' stripe delete, or 'V5*' side-moulding car, as is this car, then no R/T identification would be on the car at all.
    Those R/T badges you occasionally see on '71s are dealer or owner add-ons.

    So a stripe delete 71 r/t wouldnt have any emblems? I saw one with R/T below "Challenger" on the front fenders.
