A66 Challenger Registry

[340challconvert]

Found a pic of a nice A66 Challenger convertible in my older A-66 files (unidentified)
Looks to be B-5 blue, black interior and top, automatic, with a rallye dash, chrome driver's mirror, rallye wheels, with the grill painted black w an RT emblem. Very clean looking trunk for a convertible (non-restored?) Metal 340 hood call outs and chrome gas cap. NICE A66 vert.
Any one know about or own this car?

A thank you to js27 who added his information to the A-66 Challenger Registry. He owned an A66 hardtop and got the car with no drive train and in rough condition. He did the car up his way, turning it into an RT. He did an exceptional job rebuilding this car and eventually sold her. Interesting enough, it was a late build; 708. It is the latest A66 car listed in the Registry. Some before and after pics. Was originally a plum crazy car, w a white bumble stripe, 4 sp, and a factory AM fM. Not sure where this car is now, he sold it in the 90's?

Anyone remember this A66 Challenger 4 sp that was restored by the original owner (Mom) about 6 years ago and was featured in Mopar Muscle?
Mom is Linda C in Pennsylvania and bought the car new in B5 Blue with a white interior and top. Hope Mom's A66 Challenger is alive and well!

A point of interest is continually raised specific to A66 Challengers in the application of the V-8 fender emblem on A66 Challengers?
One of the reasons I included the designation of V-8 emblems on the A66 Registry Form is to determine how early or late the emblem was used on the A66 Challengers.
It continues to be a question for many A66 owners. Was the V8 emblem put on the early A66 Challengers during the time that the metal call outs were not yet ready? The use of 340 hood decals could be related to this question, as early A66's did not have the metal callouts on the hood until just about December (give or take).

When submitting a formal Registry Form, I would be able to compare and contrast the data. Were the V8 emblems used on just the early cars with decals, later with the metal callouts, or for that matter; was there a difference in using V8 emblems between the LA and Hamtramck plants?
Registering your A66 cars can help answer these questions, or at least to narrow down approximate dates where the emblem was used.
All A66 cars welcome!

The A66 Registry now has full or partial data on 129 A66 cars.
I drill down as specific as possible on option details so that I can determine percentages of certain details. I am started to see patterns in color selections, when V8 emblems were used, when hood decals/metal callouts were started/ended, ratio of automatics to 4 speeds, build dates, percentages of cars with the A62 rallye dash, how many of our cars came w factory AC, what type of radio was factory installed, how many factory hood pin cars?, how many rare WSS A66 Challengers were made?.
This is just part of what I track. As always; registering your car will help the information grow. Thank you

An interesting point made by a member on the e-bodies forum;

You usually do not see the J46 code for a locking gas cap on any 1970 Challengers until very late in the model year. The code showed up only on two fender tags in the A66 Registry; one with a SPD of July 6th, and the other on July 8th, both late builds for 1970. This specific code when ordered then continued to be on the tag into the 71 model year.
I have been tracking this option code and have some A66 Challenger's build sheets that have J46, but do not have accompanying fender tags for those cars to verify the code on the tag.

A66 Challenger sold cheap on e bay for $31.6 k
Panther Pink 4 speed car. Added TA hood, 71 RT stripes, window louvers, TA spoiler and newer e body interior. No tag. Not sure it was an original Panther car?
A lot of incorrect add on's but reasonable price for a fun car. IMO Could be put back to original if there is any documentation. Does not look to be the case.

 

[340challconvert]

The pink A66 4sp sale must have not gone through!
Car is back on auction on e bay and currently has been bid to $25.2 K with 18 bids from 9 bidders so far. Last time there were over 30 bids that brought the price to the $31K winning bid.
Current auction ends in 9 days. Should be interesting!
