Very quick without digging out my books. 74 Challenger with 318 V8, 904 automatic, black paint bucket seats built on April 17, 1974. Others will chime in and give a complete detailed response because they're awesome! I'm in the barn tinkering! 🙂

Appreciated! It is now green, but the owner said it was canary yellow when he purchased it. Any details appreciated!

R11 is the standard 2.5 amp AM radio. It was built in the Hamtramck plant (Dodge Main). B43 is disc brakes. The M21 and M26 are your chrome mouldings. That's all I remember without looking in my books. I thinks it's a nice Challenger and 74s were the only year Barracuda's out sold Challengers!

Doesn't match the fender tag or vin now but definitely want to know what original was. Seems white vinyl interior.

Yes white interior with a black carpet and dash pad A6XW decodes as X=Black and W=White. A white interior will always have some black parts as white carpet and dash would not work! Carpet would get dirty looking quick and a white dash would reflect a lot of light on the driver! 🙂
