It's a 70 so no callout on the shaker scoop. Even if you ordered the RAIV. Pontiac was always very good about their badges and callouts. I guess it just fell through the cracks.

There was no RPO that allowed you to delete the Charger Super Bee Hood Decal/Hood Blackout for the 1971 model (same for the Charger and Challenger R/T). Guess it was left off during the restoration.

The stripes (Dodge called them Body Side Stripes) could be deleted

New for 1971 was the 340 Magnum option; Dodge's effort to offer an insurable muscle car. Plymouth did the same thing with the Road Runner. It was a $46 option and replaced the standard 383/300 HP engine. One of the few engines in 1971 that was still high compression (10.3 to 1)

Another change for 1971 B Body Chrysler cars; No more standard 15" tires when you ordered the Hemi. You got G70x14 RWL tires with G60x15 RWL optional. F70x14 RWL for the 340 and 383 . . . G70x14 RWL for the 440+6 and Hemi

I always found it puzzling that for the 1970 GM mid-size models both Pontiac and Buick offered optional 60 series 15" tires while Oldsmobile and Chevrolet did not.

Something interesting about the 1971 Boss 351 - It's the only Ford high performance engine (1968+) that doesn't use an AIR pump to meet emissions.

In 1946, real-estate mogul William Zeckendorf proposed a massive airport that would sit on top of Midtown Manhattan.

The narrow island between Manhattan and Queens is known as Roosevelt Island, and features a quiet neighborhood and park. But in the early 1900s, architects wanted to turn the island into a civic center.

Times Square is one of the world's top tourist attractions, but in the 1970s, the famous location was crime-ridden. To revitalize Times Square, one designer proposed an eccentric tower.

The Houses of Parliament in London have an unobstructed view of the River Thames, but one design proposal would have built an airport atop the famous river.

Double-decker buses are the norm on London roads, but one proposal called for a monorail.

Trafalgar Square in London is known for its tower and fountains, but at the time of its construction, architects proposed building a pyramid in its place.

In the '90s, there were plans to turn the Golden Gate Bridge into a desalination station affixed with silo-like structures.

In Downtown Los Angeles, the City Hall stands tall, but architect Frank Lloyd Wright had a grander plan for the area.

https://i.postimg.cc/BQ0GyNQQ/BB15XMEK.jpg

Wright's idea for a civic center had 500-foot-wide walkways, terraces, rooftop gardens, and elaborate architecture.
