OK - I'll assume a 71 R/T non shaker
Grill Headlamp Buckets Hood - no DODGE letters on the hood in 71 Side scoops Tail lamps Tail Finish Panel Tail Lamp Wiring Harness The impossible to get 71 DODGE deck lid emblem
You'll need to remove the sheet metal piece that goes between the tail lamps and the rear bumper as 71 does not have that.
That will get you a 10 foot pass Forgot about those dastardly R/T side scoop....but again he could build a base Challenger N code and forego the side scoops

He said it is a Stock Eliminator car! Just change the grille and taillamps. IHRA/NHRA wont care about the seat covers! Brad

Tail panel IS different, but you could hack out the dividers for the '70 lamps so that the '71s would fit. From the outside it would look fine, and if you did it neatly, not too obvious from the inside.
Grille is not reproduced. The two long brackets to the rad support are the same as '70. There are 2 short ones for '71, but they're not crucial. The tabs on the back of the grille for them are often broken/missing anyway.

Probably should have said accurate to 30 ft, not 10. haha. Grill and taillight should be all I would need. Cost is approx. $1200 for those 2 items ???
Anyone have a picture of a 71 tail panel ? If I modify 'he tail panel, would that prevent me from going back to a 70 ?
Here it is. hate to cut on it now.
