Me too!  :hyper:

So, what i was going to say:

I see that the car has 1 x 71' Fender and 1 x 70' Fender. The A78 cars didnt come with Special Edition on the Door panels. You can make 70 Tail Lights work if you hacked a 71 Tail Panel. And the car has the basic Steering wheel and T shifter from 71 & up... So, my best guess is that this is a 71 spliced with a 70. We'd need numbers and tag details to really confirm.... I cant think of anything else that would give it away until then.....  :dunno:

sorry, pic is a little blurry....

here is his reply

" I apologize for taking so long to reply but we just returned from the Mopar Nats. I checked the numbers that you asked and cannot read the core support. There is too much paint (metalflake gold plus the clear coat) to read the core support stamp and the door sticker is long gone. This is definitely a customized '71; the VIN tag on the dash has never been disturbed, is still attached with the factory 37 year old hex rivets, and decodes to being a 1971 model. Hope this helps. Dave "


nice guy, neat car.

Why would the trunk braces make a difference?

71 Challenger trunk braces were different, they only had one trunklid torsion rod. (whatever its called)

No offense ... I know there are guys who love this sort of thing ... but

It looks like a fruit salad threw up on that car  :dunno:

Now that car I like.........alot. The RT painted on there looks a little hokey but the coloring and stripes are very cool. What kind of wheels were those ?
