I have a 1971 Challenger (not an R/T) just a regular "plain Jane" Challenger, with a few options, but I have a few questions, and let me say this first, I found no build sheets, I looked thoroughly. And just to fill you in it has an N code 383, and a 727 TF
1 I have an N41 on the fender tag, which I know is dual exhaust without tips, which indicates a regular valence. I was told this is a California "delete" that no cars were allowed in California with tips, because it was thought to combat noise pollution? Is this rare? Could it be safe to say this car might have been purchased brand new in the state of California? ( I bought it from the 3rd owner in Washington state, nearby to California)
2 Car has a Tuff Wheel on it, do you think it probably came with a 3 spoke wheel instead?(the odds of it, I have no build sheets, just saying probability, i've heard conflicting reports they were offered in e bodies, and they weren't. If they weren't then I know it came with a 3 spoke)
3 Someone repainted the car, and painted over the VIN/ Build date door tag. Im not up on production dates, although it says 827 on the tag which is Aug 27th. My question is that the car was an early model, built in Aug 1970, or a late one built in Aug 1971? build number is 119211 (JH23N1B119211)
Any answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
