"thinking" about trying to get a few more pounds out of the Challenger. Anyone know how much the guts of a qtr window weighs? If i took out the moving parts, how would i secure the window?

Wouldn't save that much weight...I don;t know the exact weight though.

The Challenger Deputy had fixed rear quarter windows from the factory. If I remember correctly the only thing missing was the regulator. I had a 71 Coupe in the late 70's early 80's and the rear quarters were fixed in place.

I found some info on http://www.challengerspecs.com/1970challenger_deputy.htm

Although I don't agree with the statement about the seats only being available in black and white, as my 71 had a green interior. Mine also had a green plug where the window crank was supposed to be.

Here is the info from the website above.

The low priced Challenger Deputy (Option Code A93) was a mid-year introduction (March 1970) and continued until the end of 1971 model production.

This version of the Challenger was unique in several ways.


The car was similar to the base Challenger hardtop with the following exceptions ;

* The rear quarter windows were fixed in place by leaving out the regulator and bolting the track.
* The rear window winder was deleted and the hole plugged with a chrome button.
* The standard engine was the 198 6 cyl. with the 225, 318 and 383 (2v and 4v) optional.
* The seats were the cheaper standard Plymouth Barracuda seats in black or white only.
* The steering wheel is coachman grain like the Barracuda.
* Things like dual horns, cigar lighter and night/day rear mirror were optional.

There are only six Deputys known to have been built with the 383 4bbl engine. Three with automatics and three with 4-speeds


Here is a pic of my 71..from waaay back.
