1970 Coronet RT ? - 12/05/08 08:12 PM
were the chrome exhaust tips standard on a 70 RT - its not listed on the fender tag , no build sheet
Quote:
By the looks of THIS PAGE on Andy440's site, looks to me like they were optional on the 70.
But on THIS PAGE it looks like standard on 69 R/T and Super Bee.
Andy's site has a ton of great info and pictures!

It would seem that it was extra cost on Super Bee's, not available in California and standard only on Hemi equipped cars....

Ramcharger Hood and Rallye IP were both extra cost options on the R/T. Automatic SPEED CONTROL was not available with the Ramchager Hood, no transmission restrictions.
Also, in an R/T when you ordered the Rally IP you got a Tach/Clock combo (tic/toc tach)... but you could order just a tach OR clock (or nothing) with the Standard IP (150mph sweep). Hope this helps... Dave

No that means Standard on Hemi cars except California Hemi cars. My California R/T 440 and my 70 Superbee 440+6 both have tips on the fender tag.

There a lot of wives tales about Chrome Tips and "California cars".
Another thing, what defines a "California car". N95 or sold new in California?? Or are those one in the same 100% of the time??
Do some other states/areas get N95 (like Denver area)?

Why would a Denver car be coded N95?
I was more curious as to why that calls out Hemi cars vs. 70 California (N95) E bodies with a hemi or 440+6 got turn downs.

Well my three California Challengers are all built in Hamtrack
JS23V
JS23V w/ N96
JS23R
They all have N95 so they all do not have N42

No disputing that. I also remember double taking at Pete Haldiman's old FC7 70 Hemi Challenger with turn downs (where's that car now).
I just hear/see a lot of bench race talk about ALL California car not getting tips or ALL LA built cars getting N95.
Quote:
getting back to the original post, my '68 R/T is coded on the fender tag for wheelwell and rocker moldings and not for the exhaust tips but it has them anyway (and always has)
All the chrome doodads, including tips, were part of the R/T package (except the CA cars) and the tag and/or BS may or may not be coded for them seperately. They were optional on Bees.
Quote:
So ... does anybody have a b'cast sheet (or LA fender tag) for a '70 Coronet R/T, Super Bee or Charger R/T that shows: N42 N95 N97 ??

6bbl - Is your GTX Yellow by chance?

Thanks for the replys , to add another question to the mix - are the wheel lip molding standard on a 70 Coronet RT , I do at least know it had them and there isnt anything on the fender tag
Quote:
I know these are not B bodies but I would think B&E cars would be the same for California.

That's the problem & source of confusion. You can't compare apples to oranges, in this case b-bodies to e-bodies or 1970 Coronets to 1968 Coronets or 440-4bbl to 440-6bbl.
On an e-body the SHAKER had nothing to do with N97 - "noise reduction".
Quote:
For 1970
CHALLENGER
N95 - Evaporative Control System - required on all cars registered in the State of California N.A. otherwise .......... $37.85
N97 - Noise Reduction Package - required on all cars registered in the state of California equipped with 440-6 engines or 426 Hemi .......... N.C.
This info is taken trom the 1970 Dodge Pocket Salesman's Guide posted on Hamtramck Historical.
N97 - Noise reduction was accieved in different ways on different body platforms, again California "only".
E-body - eliminate N42 "bright exhaust tips" from 440-6 & Hemi cars.

I thought those cars never got tips anyway. Neither did 70 383 N code E-bodies
Only non performance package (R/T, GTX, RR..) cars I can think of that got dual chrome tips were 70 A66 Challengers, 71 340 Challengers (non R/T), and maybe 71 Charger S/E 440 cars???
Getting off subject with tips, would be the 64-66 273 HP single big resonator chrome tips. Did every 273 HP get them? Or just Dart GT's and Formula "S". You could get a 273 HP Dart station wagon.

I believe we were talking N95 - "CA emissions" & N97 - "CA noise reduction". or was it N42 - "tips" on a Coronet R/T that started this?
Quote:
My understanding is the Bee Hood was a STD option and the Ram Charger was Option you could check off
I also beleive that the 150 swipe dash cluster was a Std option and the Rallye dash was a checked off option as well...
Also... looking at n96 option it says not avalible with auto... I have a auto car with a N96 HOOD and a N96 code on fender tag...

I need to know is there resonators or not with my dual exhaust and chrome tips. thanks don

P45 - power assist - "deck lid release"
The option was a factory c-body option, not listed as available on a b-body.
Is it "factory original" to the car?
Is it listed on the b'cast sheet or original window sticker?
My guess: added by the dealership or borrowed from a c-body in the past 38+ years

Just because a car was an L.A.built car dosen't necessarily mean that it had the California noise reduction package does it? What if the car was going to another state besides California?
Quote:
My 70 6-pack bee had an aftermarket exhaust system on it when I bought it, and it has a factory spring clip nut with a broken bolt still in it on the inside of the rear frame rail a little forward from where the hanger would mount if chrome tips were used. Does this sound like where a hanger would have been if the car had turn down pipes originally?
