71 RT 340 TX9 with V6J stripes. Back from hiding.

Gotcha. Interesting that the stripe code shows on tag. The other V6J 71 Challenger l know of has it listed only on broadcast sheet and not on tag.
Looking forward to seeing updates on this one. Love 71s , don't get same respect as 70s from my experience.
I prefer the 71 styling over 70 myself.
I've had 2. One with orange stripes and orange and black houndstooth interior.

What was the color of that other car? Was it black?

No it was FJ6, which is 'more common' with the V6J stripe from what l have seen over past 30 odd years.
I have seen multiple TX9 cars with orange stripes, yours is first l know of in green.

I haven't installed the hood decal yet but this is definitely a high impact combo. I figured I would post some more pics after a small cruise today. It was t shirt weather here in Pa and I was overdue for a ride. If anyone has the correct placement for the rt hood decal, please post it. I'm pretty sure it's centered and about 5" to the bottom of the decal from the front.

Cool beans, glad you got to drive it around! Yes weather been good in Northeast
Here is where my R/T decal is. I based it off of an original ad for the 71 R/T .
Basically I line up the bottom of the 'R' and the top of the 'T' to where the hood curves swoop out.
It's where I thought it looked best. Do what you will , your car .
And yes original orange strobe car

@MerlinsMopars - Awesome looking car. Here’s a link to the engineering drawing for the hood decal:

There are drawing for a plan. But that plans never always work out. Then there are pictures of original ads that seem to be what it is.
In a perfect world!

Very nice. I've seen green with green and thought it didn't look right but the orange on orange is very cool. That was exactly where I planned on placement. Thanks!
