We are in the process of restoring a decent shape 70 chally convertible that has numbers matching engine and trans and has a broadcast sheet as well. The car is a 318 car with a factory white paint, black convert top, and factory RED interior. Now from what I have been hearing, the red interiors were pretty rare. Would anyone have any break downs as to how many chally converts or even challengers in general in 1970 came with a RED interior? If we find some kind of documentation as to how many were made, it might give us some incentive to go all out on the resto trying to get correct marking items such as heater hoses, rad hoses, bolts, etc. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.

I'll see what I can dig up from what I posted over at Dodgecharger.com and Cuda-challenger.com when we got the car.
