There are "rumors" of 2 '71 Hemi Challenger convertibles, but, if legit, both are going to be JH27R1B .

Not trying to bash but that is like saying there was a 72 challenger ragtop (factory not the mod squad cars) And yet rumors of two 71 JH27R1 cars have persisted since the seventies....Fact is the full VIN on one is supposed to be JH27R1B188579, This from a National Car Club Magizine dated Jan 81.

Not trying to bash but that is like saying there was a 72 challenger ragtop (factory not the mod squad cars) Why? T/As were JHs and look at all the heavy duty and special parts that are on them. I learned many years ago to never say "never" or "imposable" when it comes to Mopars. ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

But did you see any documentation on this car you describe?

Well, simply because "Challys" are rather effeminate cars and 'Cuda were quite manly. Mopar correctly deduced that the 'Cuda drivers could handle the power and the "Chally" people (boys or women) likely could not! Yea that's right Give me your best shot! BRING it on! Happy new year to all! and ALL E-Body's ROCK!

Sounds a little like someone who resents a car that was patterned after their particular personality. Does this mean you will sell your Challenger or keep it in an effort to further solidify your image?

If you peruse my post a little more carefully its pretty obvious I was trying to get a rise out of some Challenger owner (and guess what? Someone took the bait ) Don't own a Challenger, never have, no reason I wouldn't like to though. All E-bodys ROCK.
