If you mean the vertical bars of the grille, I've never heard of that.
The dealer brochure shows the grilles with the inner ring of the grille painted red, although it seems like none were actually built that way.
Hope this helps.

Can you get a part number off the grille? It would be interesting to see the application.

I've never seen anything like that, and I've seen quite a few of those old grills.

I don't buy the vertical lines.......
But my brother in-laws 70 Superbee did have the inner "grille rings" painted red,......the car was red w/ black top/ interior.....383 4spd, powerdome hood,......very beat, but very original! never been restored,....or repaired for that matter,.....I ended up, buying it, and parting it out,......so I recall many of it's parts or details........

they look like they are red in the ad i attached...
The vertical grille bars?
Yes, it is possible it's original, but it's also possible it's been swapped from a 500, too.
Sometimes the part number is the same for the base grille, and the paint details or specific trim is/are added later.
Who cares, it looks cool and you have a print ad to back it up. Just like the '71 Challenger T/A owners.
You'll probably never get a definite answer one way or the other.

Not to change the year but again red in color
I always found this interesting and without an explanation from anyone - I have seen more then a few of these over the years - The horizontal stripe down the middle of 71 charger concealed headlamps - Most are black some gray/silver in color but - Trust me when i say my 71 Superbee concealed headlamps have never been restored - Yes there coded on the broadcast sheet/fender tag but the red in color - Anyways
