Basically, anytime anyone wants information, for no apparent reason, it makes everyone else wonder why? So any knowledge is better kept secret.
"Thanks" to all the crooked dealers, flippers, auctioneers, and so forth, for driving all the prices up, building clones, faking numbers etc...etc....




I would think just the opposite is true. The more people know the background or story of a certain high dollar car, the less chance for someone to pull something shady with it. Keeping knowledge secret hurts us all in the long run.

The FF4 "light green metallic" N94 383 Challenger R/T is JS23N0B405351 - Y14 "SOLD" car
(D32, B51, C16, C92, G11, H51, J46, J55, J81, N94, M85, R11, R31, S77, S79, U82, V1F, W21, & W34 are its extra cost OPTIONS)
3266.00 + 1163.60 + the hood(~$150) = ~$4579.60 + destination charge
383 auto w/3.23 open, black interior, V6X & a few OPTIONS to the point of having a window sticker price near the HEMI cars.
I have the b'cast sheet - SPD 702 & VON 076823.

I purchased the car from Shafi Keisler in the mid-'90s thru an ad in Mopar Collectors Guide & have finally got it in a shop to begin its restoration.
Anyone have an "ordered" Challenger from the pacific northwest with a 076xxx VON?




Thanks for sharing Dan. Great to hear that the car is going to be restored soon!

Didn't you have a 71 barracuda pilot car being restored? Did it get done? How did it come out?

This will bump an old thread, but back in the late 70's/early 80's there was an FE5/H6E4 V code Challenger convert N94 car at a show I attended. This was when I was just getting into decoding tags and I remember saying to myself how rare that car had to be, and I wish I had written the info down now.

With the bump, I see I never responded to this - it's still "getting done".

I don't recall any TA hoods on the Hemi Challengers that were modified at Creative.We also worked on the TA hoods (several different designs) and the final design was not accepted until very late in the year (Nov-Dec?). Hood was designed in the Creative-Chry styling room at Creative.Any car that had one would have to be built very late and also would have been built with the factory Hemi-fender w/second tag to note that fact.No Creative modified cars had 2 tags.Last cars modified at Creative were March or April 1st,1970.This an interesting one.

When were the 340 TA cars available? Had to be sometime in early 1970.I am guessing they were held up for the hood as were the Hemi cars for the fender mods. 1st day for Hemi fender mods was Sept 28,1969 other than the first test shots.

Did you work for creative? These N94 non T/As are a mystery. I guess N94 option it was available after 4/13/70 and not many people knew about My car's build date was 5/12/70, out of all the N94 non T/As it's the earliest build date. I have all the documentation too. The story goes it was bought by a guy that worked at a Seattle Dodge dealer and was ordered to be raced. Maybe since it was ordered by a guy working at the dealership, he had better knowledge of options then most people? Anyway it was ordered bare bones and had a full cage in it, never was acid dipped or tubbed thankfully! It only racked up 816 miles on the factory odometer before the pulled out everything to race. I been looking for more history on this car and previous owners, if anyone knows about or seen this car racing in Washington in the 70's I'd love to hear from you! Jim

Yes,I worked at Creative.Your car should have the hemi fender tag and the factory modified (stamped instead of hand modified) fenders.No fender lip molding either.No Hemi-Challenger should have the moldings.

I didn't get the fenders with the car, they took them off years ago and put a one piece fiberglass frontend on it. However the inner fender just have screw holes for the trim tag no holes for second hemi fender tag.... I thought only hemi cudas had that tag not hemi challengers?

I have never seen a "Hemi Fender" tag on any original 1970 Hemi Challenger.

Earlier Hemi Challengers had wheel well moldings as standard equipment, but at some point in the model year that changed.

Mike - did you know Bob Becker? (I think that was his name). I worked for MascoTech Special Vehicles / MSX International from 1994-1997 - I worked first at the Mt. Elliot location when we were painting all the Viper panels, & we built the GT-90 show car for Ford. Becker worked there in a special prototype department & one day he told me a lot of old stories about when they were building the Superbirds & Daytonas - he had been with Creative for years. (The Koppens sold Creative & it became MascoTech Special Vehicles. Mr. Becker was the only guy still there from the "old days.")

Hi Dan....is there any black paint on the fender bolts area like on T/As?






Yes, original RH fender with black paint/tape line & antennae hole. (no 1/4 panel antennae like the paperwork mentions)




I'm building a 440 6Pack Challenger with a T/A hood clone, so this is information I've been trying to find for a while.
What about the blackout on the cowling, and the blackout on the quarters under the spoiler?
Same as T/A?

Ducktail spoiler on T/A, but not available on any other Challengers, T/A hood or not.

Oh, of course. Wasn't thinking.
That still leaves the question of the cowling treatment with J54.

Dan, From the pictures you posted in 2011 it's hard to tell if the cowling top is blacked out due to glare in the pictures.

None of the pics I have of my cowl are clear enough to determine original "cowl black ?" - I'll try to confirm its existence or non-existence.

an additional N94 '70 Challenger was on eBay about a year ago it's a Challenger SE!

The EB5 "bright blue metallic" N94 Challenger SE (non-R/T) is JH29N0B440490 - Y16 "Sales Bank" car
(E63, D21, D91, B41, B51, G11, G31, G33, J41, N94, R11, R31, S77, T34 & W11 are its extra cost OPTIONS & H5B5 is a $48.25 CREDIT OPTION)
3185.00 + 664.10 + the hood(~$150) = ~$3999.10 + destination charge
383 4bbl 4-spd w/3.23 s/g - blue cloth & vinyl bucket seat interior
I have a copy of the b'cast sheet - SPD 730. (..... but appears to have been built before my 702 SPD car)

The car was on ebay in 2012 & located in Michigan, it went to California.
currently it is the ONLY "sales bank" N94 hood'd car & it has dual chrome mirrors ..... Oh it's a SE!!

Hey Dan! Thank you very much, it's good to hear from you! Like the quote I been meaning to get around to posting about it lol. Hoping soon to start the build, I been collecting and listing everything the Black Car will need and I have most of it. Certain Hemi pieces I will need to find still. How is your car coming along?

All the hemi Challengers that were modified at Creative had the lip moldings as built.All 4 were removed at Creative because they were to narrow to reinstall after the fenders were modified.Fenders should have the mods and the screw holes.I would guess they were deleted when the factory modified fender was ready.

The name Bob Becker sounds familiar.I only worked at Mt Elliot however several others I worked with worked at the East Detroit facility.Most of the Daytona/Superbird work was done there.
