According to Galen's numbers there were approximately 457 base Challenger built to US specs made with the interior. (Base Challengers include all the 340 cars too). According to the Color and Trim Selector this interior was recommended with only 5 colors. Burnt Orange, Go Mango, Black, White, and Beige. So probably not incredibly rare (I've seen a few) but not incredibly common either. I've seen the interior on all the colors mentioned except Beige, though I think I've seen Beige with a Burnt Orange vinyl interior.

And albeit the RT/SE cars didnt come with the White leather interior, I went ahead and bought white as I liked the look. My car came with no stripes and with a white vinyl top car originally. I may put a bumble bee stripe, Im not sure. Now as a few years have passed by and my car isnt finished, I have seen alot of burnt orange interior cars, and doggone if the color combo hasnt grown on me. Then there is the "original thing" with keeping the car the original Gomango with Burnt orange interior. I dont especially dig black dashes, I mean their ok but I have always liked cars that came with colors different from the standard black interior.

I told him over the phone what I learned and he was pleased. I informed him it was a cool combo, it wasn't super rare but not very common. A R/T without being and R/T. Ryan

Stunning combo, IMO. Beats the hell out of all the Lime green,purple, and hemi orange that everyone paints every Mopar on the planet in. MB 6865218-70challengerhemi002(Medium).jpg (320 downloads)

It's been thirty years and I would like to see if this car still exists and might be available. I could not find so much as a license plate #. I am working on getting a picture posted.

I know the black and white does not tell much, but I think it's a cool pic. That's my wife racing her friend. The other is with her Dad, a real ham, shortly after she bought it circa 1978. Rally wheels and the correct hood were added later. The hood was one of the last ones available from Chrysler. 6867348-scan0002.pdf (281 downloads)
