70 was the only year for the SE, R/T.S/E, and T/A (maybe )

I wont go into the myriad of sheetmetal & bracket differences between '70 & '71, which include fenders, inner fenders, hood, valances, brackets, floor pan etc.

Other unique '70 items:

- console
- instruments (both rallye and regular -- there are a staggering number of unique-to-'70 Challenger parts)
- deluxe seat belts
- partial horn ring steering wheel
- gas tank vented to the atmosphere (except N95 cars)
- '70 cloth/vinyl seats are a one year only pattern
- Burnt Orange interior
- T5 tan interior (gave way to light tan & and brown options for '71)

And then into little stuff like wiring, brushed nickel vs. chrome turn signal stalks, entire dashpad and surrounding trim, front bumper fillers & accessory brackets etc...

To add to Sublime70's comment about the A66 Challenger 340 package as a one year option; you only got E-60-15 tires as standard on the package only until November, 1969, making this feature only a partial year option on the A-66 cars.

Technically 15" wheels and tires were not part of the A66 package. They were a mandatory option when A66 was ordered. Same thing with the inflatable spare. They later rescinded that restriction as you mentioned.
