LA car?

If there is a broadcast sheet, does it show the wheel lip moldings?

No broadcast sheet, LA car. Can't confirm they were installed at the factory but they've been on for as long as the car has been rusting. The moldings are starting to disappear lol

Lets see some pictures, 4spd or auto ?

It's an console auto but will be a 4spd when finished. That and a raylle dash will be the only strays from the fender tag. The car is super rusty and will need ALOT of metal so I'm taking these liberties. I'm thrilled to not only have a 70 challenger but a real FM3 car! I will post pics upon its arrival home

Fender tag as follows for the number crunchers like myself..

V21 V98 26 END

Sorry to respond to an old post.
As I was going through the pics of the A66 body tags posted, I noticed that the FE5 red 340 car was built the same day as mine A06 October 6, 1969. (70 Challenger A66 convert-yellow automatic) Interesting point regarding the sequence numbers for two cars built the same day
Mine lists as 152571 and the FE5 car lists 152499 (hard to read last two numbers) Either way the red car was just a tad earlier then mine by the sequence number for the same date. The EK2 car was built just a little later A13 (October 13, 1969) with a sequence number of 157850. Everyone seems to examine this type of data. Very interesting to examine and assess. Specific to my car with all of the postings, mine still has the 340 decals on the power hood, argent grill, no wheel moldings, with the black bumble bee stripe. 15 x 7 rally wheels with the E-60-15 sticker still in the door jam. Also has the front and rear sway bars.

The dates on the fender tags are the Scheduled Production Dates. It is the date they hope to build the car when the order was first entered in the system. Hamtramck occasionally made cars one after the other with a VIN spread of close to 35,000. So, cars with close VINs may have been made weeks apart at times.

just my 2cents, I bought an FC7 a66 coded 70 challenger way back in 1985 from the 1st owner, mine had the argent grill, ralley hood, exhaust, black butt stripe, ps, pdb, console slap stick, metal 340 four barrel on the hood, front and rear sway bars and black v-top/interior.

Cool thread to revive.
For the early cars did they have the V8 emblems on the fenders?
Do you know what heads the engines had originally? If you know what are the date codes?
70 was a transition year to 915 castings so I am curious.

My A66 SPD 9/28/69 has X (2531894 D) heads cast 8-11-69 & 8-22-69 the # block is cast 7/8/69. The V-8 emblems have been on the flat hood cars and the early sport hood cars I have seen and seemed to come and go on the later after 11/69 sport hood equipped cars with 340 emblem.

Cool! I have seen J and U heads dated mid Nov 69, but personally have not seen anything earlier than that. My Nov. 69 car has the V8 emblems with sport hood.

Nope.

Thank you for the clarification of the build dates and sequence numbers.
I still owe you another thanks for a communication I had with you a few years back. You were kind enough to mail me an old registration form from the SIAC auto club on an event I attended back in 1982 showing registration of the yellow Challenger A66 convert I still own. I had emailed you inquiring about my 1971 blue 4sp 383 Dodge Challenger 4 speed that was stolen from me in 1989.(still have the legit title, tags and registration from that car) but your efforts were appreciated. I finally got around to clearing out the garage and took some pictures of the challenger convert. Even back then the car was becoming a dinosaur because of the gas shortages and everyone was getting rid of gas guzlers. My friends had named the car "Dino". Looks like everything turned out OK I added a front end picture and I will add a hood shot showing those funky 340 "decals" that were on early cars (October 1969)

340 hood decal photo, faded but still on the car since I bought it back in 1979

Great car. Always loved the B5 and B7 blues.
Looking at the very early threads, there was a lot of discussion that these 340 decals were not original. They always looked like the metal emblems to me(color and shape of letters) I notice your car has the wheel moldings and the factory 15 in wheels, the same as mine. Do you have a rear sway bar or the rally dash? Just curious. I have an auto matic, where yours is a stick.
I am finally getting around to restoring this car after having it sit in a garage since 1984. I enjoyed this A66 thread with all of the discussion on these types of cars. Galen's book calls for 264 A66 converts being built. Love to know how many are left?

Problem with selling your rig is depending on who it went to, you're liable to watch it bounce around on the 'net for a little while before someone falls in love with it.

They ended the auction & it's not listed in their inventory. They must have sold it?
BIN of $48k & it sold @ BJ for what $58k? hmmm

You just have to close your eyes when you sell them sometimes. I know one A66 Challenger that just sold though and it won't be changing owners anytime within the next few decades.
