2015 MCACN Hemi Cuda and Challenger converts

[njsteve]

Easy answer. Zero. There were no 1971 hemi-equipped Challenger ragtops built by Dodge. The 426 Hemi was only available in the 1970 Challenger R/T ragtop. The reason was that there was no Challenger R/T convertible option available in 1971. You could get a big block in a base Challenger ragtop (the 383/300 horsepower engine) but you could not get an R/T ragtop, therefore no 426 Hemi in a 1971 ragtop Challenger. So, the 9 number was the total 1970 models for US production and 3 more for export.

So your buddy's car must be a 1970 if it is a real car. Got any photos? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
