A few things stand out here. This is a very well optioned car. The persons ordering it knew what they were doing. Not sure about the color but you HAVE to restore this car. If that is a tan stripe on the rear (as I think it is) it is odd. For a start a tan stripe would be very rare. Plus it would not fit with the belt moulding as they overlap. Plus the WSS options call for 14 inch wheels but the 340 package calls for 15 inch wheels. My guess is the 15 inch wheels won.
You should not in theory be able to order the 340 package with this car because of the overlapping options among other things. Clearly (if this tag is real) it could be done though!
This is a very rare optioned Challenger you have here. Restore it PLEASE!
