restoring 70 chally vert with RED interior...How rare?? #176563 12/27/08 07:58 PM 12/27/08 07:58 PM

Anonymous Unregistered A	We are in the process of restoring a decent shape 70 chally convertible that has numbers matching engine and trans and has a broadcast sheet as well. The car is a 318 car with a factory white paint, black convert top, and factory RED interior. Now from what I have been hearing, the red interiors were pretty rare. Would anyone have any break downs as to how many chally converts or even challengers in general in 1970 came with a RED interior? If we find some kind of documentation as to how many were made, it might give us some incentive to go all out on the resto trying to get correct marking items such as heater hoses, rad hoses, bolts, etc. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Brian

Actually 3884 Challenger Convertibles and 2501 Barracuda Convertibles were produced (per my 2 minutes of Google research)... so there are a few more Dodges than Plymouths. But as far as value - since you are selling them so cheap - I'll take 8 dozen since I have 80 cents in my pocket! What a silly statement to say about price or value. What does that have to do with this thread? Red interiors are less common than the most common black interiors though. Dave DodgeMaterial - Dave JS29U0B - FK5 - 440-4 Auto WS23V0A - EB5 - 440-6 Auto
