70 convertible production # - 11/06/14 09:48 PM
Wondering if anyone can help me. I'm curious to know what the production numbers were on my car. Can only seem to find a general list. Nothing with specific breakdown and options. I have a 1970 challenger convertible. Came with a 340 engine auto transmission w/ floor shifter rally dash, power windows, power top, air conditioning, se belt trim. Se rear finish panel. Silver argent front grille and headlight buckets. White interior,front disk brakes and a rally hood. Also would be interested in how much its worth(not that I would sell it). I bought it 27 years ago with 21,000 miles on it(still has 21,000 on it). Been in the garage the whole time, ive never had it on the road yet. There is no rust on it at all. Still has a 1979 inspection sticker on it.
Thanks; Mike. Also Would like to know the production numbers of the same car with a pistol grip 4-speed

Numbers by option for your car exist, but only for US-spec cars, just like the numbers posted above.
Additionally, you cannot combine options - the numbers quoted will be only for a respective individual option.

Was an automatic when I bought it. Had the pistol grip 4-speed put in 25 years ago because that's what I wanted and didn't ever plan on selling the car. Regret it a little ,but not totally. Love having the 4-speed in it

Interesting thread. Based on GG's "white book", mine is 1 of ~7 built. Sadly though, the prior owner opted to make so many mods during the "resto", that to return the car to factory original would NOT be cost effective (IMO).
JH27N0B - 383 4bbl
~ 84 - auto
~ 7 - 3-spd
~ 31 - 4-spd

A buddy of mine bought a B5 Barracuda convertible with a 318 3-speed and console. It was a survivor and when he sold it the guy made another Hemi Cuda clone.

You never know,just because i haven't seen one dosen't mean it's not out there,like the 69 b body shop manual shows a shifter delete plate for a console but i have never seen one!

Ola Nilson "Cudaized" on here maintains an E-body convertible registry. Obviously he doesn't have all E-body convertible cars in it, but he does have a pretty detailed spreadsheet of cars and options. He may be able to answer in more detail. And I'm sure he'd love to add your car to the registry.

At least two with D13 still exist.

it's been a while since I've checked this post. Glad to see all the interest. The car was originally red. it does have power steering and power brakes. Was an automatic on the floor with the console. unfortunately the fender tag was loose so I remove it when I was painting the engine compartment, and it kills me but it unfortunately went missing. I'm a little bummed that I changed it from the original automatic on the floor to the pistol grip 4 speed for originally purposes. But I do love having a pistol grip in it and I really don't plan on selling it. thanks for the info about the registry I will definitely contact the gentleman. and thanks for all the other feedback.
I can't imagine 27 years, you gotta get it back on the road!
