PRETTY IN PINK

[Bruce]

Guys, Thanks for the compliments.

442w30, my known information came from the late Daniel Banker, he was really into the FM3 Challengers, I believe his numbers may have came from Galen Govier. For at least 10 years now 5 1970 FM3 SHAKER HOOD 440-6 Challengers are known to exist, three 4-spds and two auto's.
I'm curoius as to where your total of 41 FM3 Challenger R/T's comes from?

I know of Daniel, and it's a shame of his recent passing.

I never really cared for "known to exist" stuff because not one person has all the knowledge.

But the number "41" comes straight from Chrysler's records. Even Galen says 41! But - remember - that's only for US-spec R/T hardtops. It doesn't include other models like R/T SE or R/T ragtop, and it doesn't include cars outside the US border. There probably are another 20 out there, I imagine.

My friend has one of those 41, but his has the pink stripe.

Thought you guys would like to see some "as found" pics. This owner had the car since 1972. As you know the original owner lives in Tucson where the car was purchased new-

Are the louvers factory installed? Was the car coded for a vinyl top or were the louvers added by the original owner later? I always thought that the vinyl top was a mandatory option when you ordered louvers because the metal edges of the louvers would tend to dig into the paint and the vinyl top would prevent that from happening?
(I'm not nitpicking - just curious - I love how the car looks without a vinyl top - it's breathtaking.)

I remember trying unsuccessfully for years to buy an original pink/white 440-Six Pack 1970 Charger R/T-SE with factory sunroof back in the 1980s. It was in Saskatchewan but somebody else ended up getting it. I love that color.

Yes the louvers are factory installed, the fender tag actually lists them twice. And tag also is stamped FM3 in both top and bottom. As does both production broadcast sheets.
There is a rubber seal that goes around the area where paint contact is.
