I don't have a sheet for my 71 convertible.  I remember looking at it and wondering if I should keep it in 1979 when I changed out the seats. I wish I knew then what I know now.  :banghead: I tossed it along with the seats.  I did call a couple of 70 Challenger convertible owners I know.  They do not have the rear ashtrays.  I know of another 71 Challenger convertible owner that also has the deluxe interior and rear ashtrays. It seems that 70 cloth and leather interiors got the rear ashtrays.  71 cloth, leather and deluxe vinyl also have the rear ashtrays. The armrests do use the same ashtrays.  I just took this pic in a shed without electricity.  It should show enough.  The one ashtray has been painted black for who knows what reason but; they are the same.

The ash tray in the console came in either black or chrome.  Even if you had the build sheet it most likely would not tell you everything. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

I have never seen a factory black ashtry in a Challenger console or rear panel.  This one was painted by another owner to cover the rust on it.  This was a common practice in the 80's.
