1970 challenger A66, pistol grip convertable

[SASSY]

Hello mopar fans,

Just bought a 1970, one owner challenger convertible, B5 , A66 vehicle, pistol grip and all, personal research has yielded that only 263 of these were made with a 340, suspect not all of them had a 4spd, any thoughts on this number? Any idea on how many of the 263 produced had the 4 spd? Did these have a scat sticker? Will post some pics soon but would love to hear any reviews on this vehicle, Very excited to have gotten this gem with the original window sticker, original bill of sales from the dealership and every receipt for anything bought for it, from shocks to all of its tune up's. looking forward to learning all I can of it!
Thanks to all that may reply!
Sassy- proud owner of the above vehicle and a 1972 challenger with 59k original miles.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! 66 were 4 speeds and yours looks like a damn fine example! Are those white seats with the blue door panels? What's the build date? I think Cuda Hunter is going to want to see the fender tag on this one and we need more pics!

Factory production numbers brought to you by Galen Govier by way of his "White Books". Is your hood engine call out a decal or an emblem?

[SASSY]

call out?

posted my fender tag, hope your able to find it

hood appears to be a painted surface, was painted about 10 years ago

 

[DetMatt1]

call out?

Yes. It should say 340 FOUR BARREL on it, is it an emblem or a decal?

Post a pic of the hood from the side. We need to see the side of the raised portion of the hood. Thanks.

must have been a decal, no holes found on inside of hood, is there a reason some hoods had decals vs hole drilled emblems?
