    Did Challenger T/As come with black painted roofs???
    « on: June 18, 2007 - 06:51:51 PM »
    I went to a Car show in Peabody, MA this past week end and didn't notice this until I looked at the picture after someone made a comment about it.

    I thought all Challenger T/As had black vinyl roofs?  :clueless:  I wonder if this was factory or if the dealer did this?

    V02 - Two tone paint was an option on all 1970 E-Bodies except the Challenger SE models. Three T/As are known with two tone paint so far.

    to my knowledge vynly tops could be added to the T/A, but only in black, never seen painted black roof on a T/A before.

    Four vinyl tops were available on all 1970 Challengers including the T/As;

    Three are boars grain;

    V1F - Green

    V1W - White

    V1X - Black

    Gator grain;

    V1G

    For the AAR Cuda, only the V1X top was available as far as vinyl tops go.

    Kinda off topic but funny. Over the weekend we had the superbird at a show when a guy(in a camaro shirt and hat no less) came up and started asking about the car. He then informed us that he bought one new in 70, painted black. We found this interesting as no superbirds ever came in black. However, we didnt say anything and he eventually walked away. It was funny.
