Picture challenge: How about we get postings of all the 70/71 Hemi converts?

[70Cuda]

Nice.  If you know the transmission too, maybe that could be included as well.  For the Challengers whether it has a shaker or not would be good info too.

[elephantitis1971]

I'm pretty sure both GB5 cars (blue) have H6B5 interiors.  BS27R1B269588 has a console,front elasto, driving lights, hubcaps, blue grill, standard dash, and a radio.  BS27R1B315367  has no console, chrome bumpers, no driving lights, rallye wheels, an argent grill, a rallye dash, and no radio.

There's also another Rallye Red car.  BS27R1B327882 has both elasto, standard H6X9 black interior, rallye dash, a black billboard, and rallye wheels.  The 'other' Rallye Red car (Mopar Action, Aug 2006 "Mystery HemiCuda") has chrome bumpers, deluxe SRX9 black interior, rallye dash, no billboard,and hubcaps.

That makes 10.  Now, somebody please let me (a newbie to the 'real' Cuda world) know if the Harold Sullivan Canadian car is the real deal.  The car always shows up when 'real' HemiCudas are mentioned. I've read the history of the car on this site.  But, I've also read (and believed) THIS post:

http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?PHPSESSID=7dcc369e388c0dd3a0f6a227830ee1a1&topic=199.0

...also on this site that claims the 'other' Canadian car is GY3 (Curious Yellow) with a white H6XW interior.  I sort of don't believe it, I've never seen a pic of it.  I' HAVE seen many GY3 tribute cars, though, on the internet. Maybe one of these was incorrectly thought of as being 'real' way back in 2002. 

It's pretty important for us all to know, but for me... well, I'm re-creating all of 'em (in miniature, of course, I'm not a multi-millionaire).  I GOTTA know!

Hey Dan,
You can reply and add to a persons post by scrolling down and clicking the insert quote icon on the top left of each reply under your writting reply box.   So if you want to add to the list that i posted with the tranmission and other variables as an add on, that would be great.

[elephantitis1971]

thanks very much, Ken.  I'll give a shout out to Cudaized.  I've been on his site before.  

I know one thing,  ALL you MOPAR guys rock!!!  Very helpful!!!  One day I'll trade in all these 'little' toys of mine and buy one 'big' toy, preferably in a 'high impact' color of my choice!

Thanks again
Dan

Not sure what you mean about "how long has this internet thing been around".

But it is possabile to have multipile quotations in a single reply.

[70Cuda]

Here is a link to Hemi Challenger #3 (so far) and I have found a picture of Challenger #4 described below as car #1.

http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/featuredvehicles/1970_hemi_challenger_rt_convertible/index.html

I also have a very nice picture book called Musclecar Color History Barracuda & Challenger (Paul Zazarine, ISBN 0-87938-538-3) that shows on page #85, two purple 70 Hemi Challenger Convertibles. 
Car #1: Shaker (purple too), white longitudinal stripe, white interior, chrome bumpers, hood pins (top color unknown, under white boot)
Car #2: Sport hood, white longitudinal stripe, black interior, 4-speed, hood pins (top color unknown under black boot but looks to be the car posted by Robert1050 on page #2 but fully restored of course)

Is this for pictures ?  If you were to use these pictures for reference sake only and not for profitabal gain, this is alright.  I personally would love to see every Hemi 'Cuda and Challenger convertible with a break down of the fender tag attached just to know exactly which car had what.  Everone now knows these cars and i think a documented list would deter anyone trying to make a knock off and try pass it as a real one.  This is just my thoughts.   What plans do you have for your Challenger convertible.

Kenny.

[70Cuda]

Sorry, I can't get myself to scan the page out of a book and post it.  It is a very nice high-quality picture book though.

My Challenger is a black vinyl top car but the other sure would be nice.

I did notice a 1 of 31 (mine as a convert would have made it 32 :-)) red with a red top 440+6 convert on this site that might interest you

http://www.mopars.ch/Berichte/1970_Dodge_Challenger_Chassis_Trim.htm

and yes, it's a German site the the pictures are nice.

[common 27]

    Thanks for all the pictures guys!! I have a couple questions.Is the pic of the FY1 lemon twist a true representation of the color ? I like the pale yellow like it much better than a bright yellow.Now don't get offended by that cause yellow is my favorate color.       Also was the black Cuda ever from Colorado? I saw one 20 years ago at a cruise in  at Des Moines Iowa.
