Does anyone know if 1971 Challenger N code (383 Magnum engine) "convertibles" came with the black grille and black painted tail panel from the factory? I believe that the '71 R/T hardtops all came with them. There were no '71 R/T convertibles like there were in '70 which the '70 model year the R/T convertibles have those parts painted black. Thanks.
 
I read if the car was equipped with a factory high performance engine it also got the black grille and tail panel.
My car is a non R/T with a 340 and it is black in both places.

Thank you. The '71 N code convertibles that I've seen have the silver grille and body-color painted tail panel. This is a mystery. :)
 
My JH27N has argent grille and tailpanel and was a flat hood car originally. It also has the Black longitudinal stripes. That being said it was painted a different color at some point and then painted again back to the original EL5 all before the early ‘90s. My gut tells me the argent is correct at least on my car.
