Is this the option code for an SE or just a trim package?

Just a trim package. Totally seperate from a SE.

Available in 71 also, but doesn't have the rear quarter extention to tailight one piece trim.

The Challenger SE model is a JH27 for 1970 only eh? I had the A63 molding package with my A66 340 package. Is that rare? LOL.

In 1970, JH27 is a base model Challenger vert. You could not get a SE vert.

A 70 Challenger SE hardtop has a VIN of JH29. The 70 R/T SE hardtop has a VIN of JS29...

The A63 is std on Jx29. Available on Jx2n as an extra cost option, but does NOT include the rocker moulding. I am VERY interested in this subject because I need the quarter belt mouldings for the convertibles. I just cant find 'em

Contact Jerome Verbit - he makes excellent reproductions of the long quarter panel spears for Challengers - in both '70 and '71 style.

Yeah Jerome makes them.. Spendy but very nice.... As far as A63 & A66 together I don't know about rare but my buddies JH27HOB is coded A63 & A66 plus quite a few other nice codes.....

This is the correct answer.

Almost correct, The 1971 version is coded A46 instead of A63. A46 doesn't come with the astrotone tailight piece as mentioned.

Not quite, A63 consists of...
M31 - Body Belt Mouldings - top of 1/4s, doors, fenders, and hood
no-code - Front Stone Shield Moulding
no-code - Rear/Tail Panel Astrotone Moulding

A car with A63 will have A63 & M31 on the fender tag.

These pieces that made up the A63 molding group were all standard on a SE, and for that reason, A63 was not available on the SE cars. An SE car will have M31 on the fender tag, but Not A63.

A63 was a way to order these parts on a non-SE car.



M21 drip rail moldings will be coded on all the hardtop challengers.

M26 wheel lip moldings will be on the broadcast, but not on the fender tag on all the challengers except T/A and A66.

M05 door edge protectors & M25 rocker moldings were each available seperately from everything else.



M42 front stone shield molding & M44 hood rear and fender moldings are codes that were not used for Challengers. These codes are for Chargers and other cars.

Thanks for making that crystal clear as I was wondering if my newly purchased A63 coded car was supposed to have the tail light trim panel.

This brings up a good question. A 70 model year JS23(RT) with A63, does the one pc. rear/tail Panel Astrotone Moulding remain textured Argent or is it blacked out? If it does remain textured argent, then does the grill remain textured argent to match the rear panel or black like a regular RT with out A63? Seen them restored both ways. Which is correct?

I believee tail panel piece is always textured argent regardless of whether the car is an R/T or not. Only the grille comes argent(non R/T) or black(R/T and T/A).

That's what I've always seen and believed. And IIRC, the parts book only has one p/n for it. If it came argent and black there would be two p/n's.

I don't think A63 was availible on 70 T/A's or cars with N94 fiberglass hoods. The dealer literature I see pre dates T/A and N94 release dates.

Now for 1971 the similar A46 molding package was not availible for N94 cars. http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/imag...hallenger_4.jpg So, I would think that would apply to the 1970 A63 package also?? It's because the rear hood molding (unmodified) will not clip onto the thicker fiberglass hood.
