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.

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!

I appreciate what you stated about me, more times than not people don't get my NY quickness and meaning. Thanks for liking my SSP also. Wow if Dave did it I would expect it to be 100% so please let me know if I actually caught a mistake or if I'm the mistake LOL I too get along with Dave Walden fine, I understand his perfection direction!
I had mine done by Triple A and know they may not be 100% accurate but were quick painless and cheap.

My buddy had a 71 R/T back in the day 440 6pack that stuck in my mind so when this Bee came available I had to have it.

Here's my 71 Bee:

WOW!
I love it!!
Citron Yella is one of the coolest colors! Especially on a Bee! There used to be a yellow Hemi R/T here in Duluth back when I was a kid. It looked just like your friends car. I don't know what ever happened to it....

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!

Hey 71 I looked at another 71 Charger's window sticker and it too had the automatic included in standard equipment but lower it showed the entry without a price next to it. I would bet your's is 100% since it came from ECS. The one I compared to was made by Triple A.

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.

Mine is a 4 speed also interesting to note the base price difference between a Lynch RD car and a St. Louis car. Both window stickers 100% real and original!

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.

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.
