|
Exterior Specifications
Headlights:
• Dual, recessed
|
|
Taillights:
• Single light bar style, with center section serving as reverse
indicator, with Dodge logo on reverse indicator.
Hoods offered:
• Standard flat hood with low rising
center molded peak.
• Power Bulge Hood. Contained a raised
center section which ran almost the width of the hood towards the
rear, containing 2 air vents, with the engine designation on each
outer side of the bulge, and a chrome Dodge logo along the front
of the bulge.
• Shaker Hood. This hood system,
unlike the Power Bulge Hood, did feed air directly into the engine.
Hood scoop was actually affixed to the carburators, and moved with
the engine while poking through the large hole cut in the hood.
• Fiberglass T/A Hood. This hood
featured a large, molded hood scoop which fed air directly into
the engine, and came finished in matte black. It was rumored that
due to a shortage of the Shaker Hoods, several R/T models were equipped
with the T/A hood.
Gas Caps:
• Body color, flush mounted filler
cap.
• Chrome, raised, flip open race style cap
with "FUEL" in raised chrome letters on the black background.

or body colored remote controlled "racing mirror".

ran from the front of the car, to the area over the rear wheel,

the body, below the body line, or the tail end "bumble bee stripe".
• Base models could also opt for the stripe that ran the length

stripe was originally offered in black, white and red, then green
and blue were added, and after March 11th, 1970, chartreuse or magenta
were added.

Challengers. The offered vinyl roof colors were black, white, green
or Gator Grain.

to match the body color with a small "dog dish
