you're right. The rarest Standard item for that matter.


As far as standard stuff goes ( I think it's standard), what about the 3 speed manual shifter, the one with the black round shifter knob.  :dunno:



What about the wide chrome nose trim found on 1971 Challengers?  :dunno:




Body side moulding?  Maybe a lot were ordered with it but not many still have it I guess...

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

My 74 challenger had the 3 speed manual with the black shifter knob. It was black with blue interior.

I have a 3 speed with the black shifter stored away.  It came out of a 70 R/T convertible.  I keep it because some day I hope to get it to whomever ownes the car.

I used to own a 225 3-spd convertible with manual drivers side mirror. it was almost bare bones, but it did have a power top mechanism.  it's new owner will be making it into a Hemi 4-spd clone.

Thank you  :cheers: (hard top)

Standard 3 speed transmission with the black ball shifter = not that rare.

I think the N-96 Shaker Hood option on the 1970 340 Cuda Convertible may be the rarest.   As far as i can tell, they built 1.   And i own it ( and had it researched/documented), so i think this is the case.   If anyone knows differently, please let me know.
They built 22 total, of which 14 went on the hemi cuda convert. The other 8 were spread over the 340, 383, 440 and 440-6 (with most of the 8 going on the 440-6.   
The word from a few retirees from the legal and engineering staff ( as i have come to learn) was a problem with decapitation.  Once the hood was reinforced as the shaker hood was, it would not buckle on impact.  The hood pins held it down.  The A pillars could lay down on impact.    I am told it happened .   
That said, they redesigned the hood mid year to include "crumple zones" (aka 71 hood), and made only a couple cars at the end of the production year.

So what does the A18 package include? I have seen one 70 383 cuda with a bench seat and a mod top. How rare is the column shifter?
