Ddue, That is a NICE looking car. And optioned to the hilt is only better.
Thank you gtx! Yes, the car is well optioned! Sunroof, hideaways, six pack and spoilers are about the only things he didn't check off. I'd say in it's day, the car had a pretty hefty price tag! Add to that the dealer installed vinyl roof. First off that is one Beautiful Charger!!!! I have to ask who did your window sticker? It has the automatic trans. included which I've never seen on a window sticker. I have a soft spot for these cars myself and own a 71 Super Bee. Ron Thank you also Ron! I read a lot of your threads and posts and feel somewhat akin to you in your views and admire your Plymouth but am not sure I've seen your Bee. I had the "Monroney label" done by Dave Walden (ECS) I have to say, he is a very, very nice and meticulous man! He is obsessed with getting things perfect. There was an error with a font made on the first set he made for me. (someone on one of the forums pointed it out to me.) I asked Dave about it. He apologized that he had let an employee send it out without first proofing it himself, and sent out corrected ones. He is a GREAT guy to deal with! I know some take issue with him, but my experience with him found him to actually be a very humble man that is driven to perfection! That impressed me! The "Torqueflite transmission" is listed under the "standard equipment" category. I suppose that IS incorrect, isn't it? It should be under the options since a manual trans. was "standard". I never noticed that! Thank you!

Actually........ I would like to find a trailer hitch! if anybody knows of one, I would like to buy one. The holes are already there on the bumper. I filled them with another set of bolts but I could put one on in a few minutes. That would get the comments!

Cool beans Steve! Thank you for that! I have been looking around and see others like that too. (on google images) but most are pre-'71. I'm gonna go with it the way it is unless someone can show me definitively that it's incorrect. What is the SPD of your car?

Thanks Ron, I forgot it was on the window sticker. I've heard the actual build date is on the bottom left of the window sticker which would be Oct 2nd for mine and Dec 8th for Marks. Is that true?

Hmmm that little tidbit I wasn't aware of (as my cousin used to say "my brain just got a wrinkle"). Hopefully someone much smarter than me chimes in. Ron

Ron I heard that's the date the car was actually completed and the window sticker was applied. The OP's window sticker has an SPD of 1/29 but it looks like it left the plant on 1/22. From my own research that date is usually within 1-3 weeks of the SPD.
