That sucks, but glad it will be handled by ABC. How did you like how it turned out otherwise?

@strycker @Vaanth I always appreciate Vaanth’s detailed and informative responses. In this case, I disagree on the 70 vs 71-72 positioners. I believe the later 3461770 and 3461771 parts had the raised area around the holes and are correct for 71-72 applications. Here’s a pic of a some NOS...

It’s in the car now, but when I was restoring it I measured and it matched Galen’s White Book description.

Second pic

The part number and date codes are stamped about 24 inches from the rear joint. Here's a pic of the original from my T/A with the 2883782 number with a C 70 date code. Trans Am cars (and some others I believe) had 7260 u-joints in front and 7290 in the rear.

71-later consoles have an ashtray. 70 consoles have a slotted opening at the rear that provides storage for the shoulder belt female ends.

Here are some more pics of the shorter style that is correct for E-bodies and others.

I’ll be interested to hear what year those straps showed up. Not a 70-71 thing as far as I know.

AMK carries a variety of plastic straps. I’m guessing you can find them elsewhere if you can figure out what they’re called. https://www.amkproducts.com/bulk-fasteners-products/?Product_ID=13201

The 71 N-code Challenger convert should have an argent grille and argent taillight bezels. The tail panel should be body color. Grabbed this pic from the web (ignore the “Hemi R/T” emblem)

I have a May SPD JH23H1B that came with an argent grille and tail panel. I believe the addition of the rubber bumper option on a Challenger in 71 resulted in a black grille and tail panel regardless of the performance level/engine. Also, the black 71 grille was molded black. If you have a...

That’s a nice one
