More info:
I have the Zazarine book, and it directly conflicts with Herd's book. Unfortunately both books have plenty of errors in them. I have a feeling that both are actually right here though. Ultimately what's supposed to be correct and what was done on the assembly line don't always match. I am used to dealing with a right or wrong answer, but unfortunately with Mopars, that doesn't always work. I'm probably going to conclude that either seam is correct.
I also contacted my friend Andy Cockroft who is a bit of an expert and also Barry Washington from the T/A registry. They are both of the opinion that both tops are correct for all models of Challenger, as the workers used what they had on hand. However, neither think that Gator Grain tops were available with the B-Pillar seam.
By the way Andy has a great website at:

I'm in the middle of revamping the site and here's a few sample pages. Check it out and let me know what you think.
