in 71 did they make a R/T SE or was it called a formal roof

No JS29 was made in 71. But thier was formal roof option.

Mike is quite correct. There was no 1971 SE model. Although you could still order the formal roof. It was code A78.

i looked into this question after i bought my 70 R/T S.E.

in 1971 the challenger was no longer available as a Special Edition JS29 model but an option group was offered instead,which was A78.

to have the A78 option on a 1971 challenger is very rare though.

in 1971 there where 105 R/T challengers with A78 option and 229 non R/T challengers with A78 option. so only 334 challengers came with the A78 option (formal roof) code. as you can see that is a pretty rare option.

Hey guys, this is my first post. found this thread on google. I own an A78 optioned 318 car with 2 full fender tags. Just curious where the production numbers came from.....

i got those numbers from a web site where i cut and pasted it into my challenger info file,i cant recall which web site it was but here is a copy of those pages.

If not they were stolen from here because I scanned them myself. They are in a "sticky" thread at the top of this section.

I scanned them from a copy of Mopar Action I think? Or maybe from one of Mr Norms sport club magazines when I was a member? They are Galen Govier's numbers.

awesome, thanks guys! i'll introduce myself in a seperate thread.
