1971 Hemi Challenger owned by the same person for 30+ years, 605 built, dash never restored, had the 5500 RPM Redline 8 Grand tach.
Could it possibly be a late 71 change as production eased into 1972.
All 7 Grand tachs have a 5500 redline.
Terry are you sure on the SPD, because I always thought that late 71s switched to the 7k tach.
That's what my 71 Sixpack SPD 331 and the survivor triple black hemi Challenger both had. 
That's interesting. I have a super late built 71 V-Code Challenger with a 7k tac .....I always thought someone changed it. It was a drag car. I should pull it and check the dates...

Here's a NOS one, that seems to have an unusual redline - 5000 on a 8K. What was this used in/for?

Interesting info. I'll have to go check the redline on mine. 71 R/T Challenger with 383 4 speed, scheduled build date 6/16/71 which I assume is considered late.

I checked my cars last night:
JS23V Dec69 8k w/ 6.5k redline
JS23R B06 8k w/ 5k redline - looks like the NOS one above
JS29R0B12xxxx 8k w/ 6.5k redline
JS23V 723 8k w/ 6.5k redline
The set in my 71 Challenger 340 were 8k w/ 6.5 redline but they were not original to the car.
