That is a great shot!! A good comparison to really see the differences of the Challenger and Cuda.  Thanks for posting.

Nice. Yeah, the shot makes the body color look a little off - what color is that? Is it FY1? And the Bumble? V9T (FT6) I presume?

I was kind of thinking it looked like BL1 or dy3.

Regardless, that's a pretty cool collection of colors. 

Would that interior be a TT ?  Walnut and beige?  Never seen that.  But it all looks to be dark brown.  :2thumbs:.

If you mean the chart those are the recommended color combinations. It doesn't mean that you couldn't get it. Black and white stripes were available on all color cars.

Here is a very intriguing '71 'Cuda that I saw at the MCACN show in Chicago this year. It's info placard stated that it is an unrestored original 11,000mi "survivor". That's cool :thumbsup: But check it out, not only is it an unrestored low-mile survivor, it is also a V02 car with a GY8 Gold Leaf top over a GY9 Tawny Gold body. But wait, there's more ... it is also a 440-6 column-shift auto and check out those wheels ... rallyes? nope! road wheels? nope! dog-dish covered steelies? nope! steelies with "deluxe wheel covers"! Now that's different ... as is the whole car ... rather unique 'Cuda if you ask me :2thumbs:



the 440-6 hiding under the hood ...


and the column-shift auto - if you look between the steering wheel and the horn button you can see it

That one rules! What a rad color combination! I wish they had GY9 in 1970! That's one of my favourite colours.

Another interesting car from the MCACN show in Chicago. It doesn't have any V-code options but it is interesting in that it IS a HemiCuda built for export and apparently sold new in ... are you ready for this? ... Guatemala of all places! Still has it's Guatemalan license plates on it too. I peeked at the fender tag and sure enough it is coded Y09 (international sale) and H25 (heater delete) so that fits with it being sold new in Guatemala. It was originally FT6 in color with a H5T5 interior but somewhere along the way it got some 70's fender flares, fat tires on slotted aluminum mags, a gunmetal gray exterior and a black interior. I had never seen or heard of this car, "The Guatemala Hemi" before, so I thought it was pretty cool and decided to post it here.

Just so happens I did snap a pic of the FT. I was leaning waaaaaay over the barrier shooting the pic with my arms fully extended so it isn't that great - the left edge of the tag kind of got cut off. The codes on the left side of the tag were from bottom to top E74 FT6 FT6 M25 which you can see the last number of the codes in the pic.

I recently came across this ad for what is stated as being the only known EW3 white 1971 Challenger with V6W white R/T stripes.

http://classiccars.com/listings/view/618063/1971-dodge-challenger-r-t-for-sale-in-charlotte-north-carolina-28269

Here is the car - it's a '71 340 auto R/T. Obviously the car is EW3 white but what is not so obvious is the V6W white R/T stripes - they are virtually invisible (at least to me) but the ad says that they are there. Never could figure out why someone would order a car where the stripes are the same color as the body but apparently people did :dunno:
