My 71 hamtrack car was built Dec 23 1971, probably the last day before Xmas break. They couldn't wait to get out of there. LOL If that's the date it's probably a 72 Or really, really late

I think I pretty close with April 28 as a build date. Directly two weeks after the Engine assembly date. I think the actual date could have fallen between 4/26/71 and 4/30/71 Thoughts? Are those the dates you want to use for the fender tag?

Great info. My 1971 Challenger with 6/16 SPD does have slotted bumpers, I'm not sure what to look for with the difference in the trunk pans. My wife's 1971 R/T Challenger has a 1/27 SPD, I assume her car's trunk pan would be different? Anything else between the cars to compare? I was surprised at the late date codes on the carpeted lower panels on my Challenger. I would have guessed they were leftovers from the 1970 SE optioned Challengers.
