No...You're almost correct. Example number three... just the 'R/T" on the hood is not a hood treatment....it's a standard part of the R/T package. Every 71 R/T should have R/T on the hood UNLESS equipped with N96 Shaker hood. :2cents:

Correction, any fresh air hood. Don't forget the N94 hood.

N94 = the T/A hood as found on the '70 T/A Challenger or special ordered on any '70-'71 Challenger (relatively rare IMO)

Here is a documented one on a non T/A '70 Challenger R/T ...

Would that have been the aar hood?

Would a '70 and '71 T/A hood have been the same and fit either year Chally?  Is the only place to buy a good one http://www.aarqualityfiberglass.com/products/challenger-ta-hood-1970-74-bolt?

The only fresh air hood available on non-AARs was the Shaker hood.

Now here is one you don't see very often ... in fact, I think that this is the first one that I have seen ... a vinyl top that is NOT black, white, green or a Mod-Top. Check it out ... it almost looks like the vinyl top is brown ... but it can't be because this car is supposedly a concourse level 1971 Hemi Challenger and who would put a brown top on one of those? So I'm left with one guess ... is this one of those rarely seen V1Y gold vinyl tops that became available in 1971? Yeah, I know it looks more brown than gold, but it seems like the only plausible explanation :dunno:

That's almost what my car looked like except it being a Barracuda without any decals.

I found the pic and sales ad description of this car in a Brand X forum that was dated back in '07. The sales ad description was interesting in that as of '07 the owner claimed that it was a one-owner car with only 1,800 miles on the clock! That could also be why I had never seen it before - with only 1,800 miles on the clock this car has definitely been keeping a low profile!

All that info is correct. It's been at several shows in the midwest that friends of mine attended. I have never seen it in person.

The forum ad description stated that it was a 4-speed car with black leather interior. The only options that the ad stated (although it may have more that simply were not listed) were A34, A62, and C16. KA, do you know anything more about this shy and reclusive pachyderm that you can share?
