I've known Bill and the car since I first saw it at the Syracuse Nationals in 1982. It was then painted a cross of pink and purple ( I have a picture somewhere ) He told me when he ordered it he had thought about a shaker hood but it was one more car payment ( about $100.00 ) so decided against it. ears later at a NHOA meet, I mentioned he should contact GG regarding the late build date which he did some time later. That is another story that I prefer Bill tell

That is another story that I prefer Bill tell He said the car was painted about the same colour as the elephant on the roof. That would be a cool picture if you can find it. He also mentioned the Galen story to us...pretty funny. Dave

this Challenger R/T is ~6000 assigned VINs after the "LAST hemi'cuda" - you would need the broadcast sheet for each car to see when they were on the assembly line. so, is the broadcast sheet available for this Challenger R/T? they were not all built on the fender tag's SPD " SCHEDULED Production Date" or in VIN sequence order, my Challenger R/T was built ~14000 cars "LATE"

that leaves B-body VS. E-body & Lynch Rd. Detroit, MI VS. Hamtramck, MI 1971 HEMI Charger R/T contenders:WS23R1A190774 "SCHEDULED" Friday June 11 - yellow 4-speed & WS23R1A192238 "SCHEDULED" Friday June 18 - white automatic IMOLynch Rd. b'cast sheets sequence numbers track early VS. late everything I've seen in regards to these two HEMI Charger R/Ts indicates that they were in process/in plant on "SCHEDULE" +/- 800 cars, which was +/- 2 days as Lynch Rd. 1971 was ~400 cars per day. & with VINs 1464 apart, the numbers can start to get close. IF:WS23R1A190774 Friday June 11 (2 days late = Tuesday June 15) & WS23R1A192238 Friday June 18 (2 days early = Wednesday June 16) so, was the 'Cuda early or the Challenger late?

Using the door sticker for a reference you can find out the exact date were the Sequence number changes over on Plymouths and Dodges on June 1. This can give us all a good starting point to look at and refer back to on cars built later in the month. Hope everyone is following me here.
GVH no car is great than another. Because your car is a convertible it gives us information if your Sequence Number is much higher that others SPDs of the same date then there has to be a reason for this. Being a Convertible if it is later could be because of parts availability. Since no one was there we are trying to put a picture together of what went on at this time via what was built.
I also have a 1971 Challenger 318 Convertible. Any ebody still around now is special and I like taking a look at those E Bodies that are not RTs or Cudas.
