    Wow and welcome to the site. :2thumbs: your Challenger looks sweet as.

    Would be interested to know what options are on your fender tag.   To tell you the truth, there is no such thing as an R/T SE for 1971.  It is a 1970 only option to have an SE.  And your Challenger being a 71 may be one of the rare A78 coded Challengers for 1971, coded for a Formal Roof Package which would explain the rear window and SE trimmings with overhead roof consolette. 

    It is a way cool car. :cooldancing:

    Hemi engine, R/T "SE" badging, bench seat, column shift!! That is one interesting MOPAR.  I look forward to hearing more of the story with this car.   :popcorn: Welcome to the sight.

    Welcome!

    We'd like to see the fender tag if you don't mind. Is that bench seat original? I've only seen the high back split w/ armrest style in E-bods.

    I was going to buy one of these back in the 90's, but the seller could never prove the A78. The old "I have the fender tag around here somewhere" story. Plus, unlike the 70 cars, the VIN does not help.

    I almost forgot, duh..... NICE car!

    Hope we can expand your knowledge base. Beware though, I am sometimes wrong....LOL.
