There is an emblem on the dash that reads "When reaching speeds in excess of 120 MPH windows must be rolled up". It has been an exciting piece for sure. Just wish it could tell stories. 1970 B5 v-code Superbird 1971 Dodge Charger R/T in GA4

I assume the seats were installed afterward as the vinyl does not match. Scott knows the particulars better than I do. 1970 B5 v-code Superbird 1971 Dodge Charger R/T in GA4

ScottSmith_Harms Mr Wizzard Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 42,714 Spokane Washington	Yes it has a line lock, interior looks ratty but Like I said, it will likely clean up to look a TON better with a good detail job. I think I figured out why the swap to buckets was made (haven't quite figured out what car those are out of?) the shifter style shown locates the shifter further back than the stock position (likely hitting the bench seat) it requires a rearward notch to be cut in the factory floor hump to install it, also why they likely built the aluminum enclosure for the shifter box. Also, with the amount of dirt on that interior I can only guess it sat for a fair amount of time with the windows rolled down? I'd be checking the floor for moisture damage, hopefully it never got wet inside, if the carpet ever got wet it will likely be needing floor pans, and that would suck on such an otherwise dry car.

Must be some kind of mental disorder because it is sure seems to be common. The car that's on the rotiserie in primer in my earlier posts on this thread is another one of the 19 you mentioned, it was light blue metallic with a blue interior, it's from Concord California, I've known the car since about 1985.
