    1971 CHALLENGER "DEPUTY" SEAT FRAMES ARE THEY PLYMOUTH?

    Hi, its a 71, and the data plate under the hood confirms its a Deputy package, fixed rear quarter windows, barracuda interior etc...

    318 piston height/deck clearence 1971 Deputy Challenger

    Hi guys, I'm new here, located in Melbourne Australia and building a '71 Challenger from the ground up...
