The Dodge Challenger Message Board

I just bought a 71 Challenger R/T with a Black Houndstooth Cloth Interior the trim code is P5XX. I can not find that code in any reference book. Any help?

Is it actually H5XX?

H5XX was thge black & white cloth insert seats. Here are some pages that show the 1971 interior samples / codes, but they typoed two of them. The H5X9 sample is actually H5XX & the H5XX sample shown (black & orange)is actually H6XV ;

No, the black & orange is H5X9. Just switch the two codes around on the samples and it will be correct. My copy of the trim selector has the stickers that the dealer was supplied to correct the error.

Cool! Can you scan that page for me Ken? I would like to replace the one I have on the site with the updated version.

I'll try to remember to do it Barry.

I received a photo of the fender tag on this 71 Challenger R/T and the trim code is P5XX, which I can not find in any reference material. Right after the trim code where usually you find the code 000, is the code TX9. Is this right? I have never seen that code on a trim tag before.

Are you looking at the actual tag or has someone written down in the wrong order for you?

The code 000 is ALWAYS there in the same place. Second line (from bottom) and centered (third code in from each side).

To the right of the 000 code is the build date. To the left of the 000 code is the trim code.

The code TX9 is black paint and on a black car would be the first code on the second line.

On older cars you would indeed have a paint code instead of the 000 code. This is the colour the top of the inside of the door would be painted. But Challengers had door panels that fully covered the top of the inner door. So they were never painted there. Hence the 000 code.

Are you sure this is the correct tag for the car?

Your tag should look very like mine here;

Dave, The second line of codes on the tag read as follows: GY3 P5XX TX9 103 141556. I have never seen this before, and I have studied many tags. I could email you a copy a it if you would look at it for me.

I would love to see a photo of the tag. But it sure sounds like a fake.

Usually fakes are done a lot better than that though. So seeing the tag would be better so we can confirm this. Mistakes can be made on real tags. But not as bad as that and not so many of them.
