I have only owned this car for six months but previous owner had it 28 years. The car is a bench seat,armrest, column shift car which believe it or not was an add. Cuda’s base was bucket seats. The previous owner said it was one of eight v code automatics with bench seat armrest not verified but very possible being there were on 127 v code automatics produced. The interior of the car is all original. There has a crack in the dash pad and yes I now it has a ac dash pad in a non ac car previous owner and myself believe it is original to the car never looks like it was removed and Vin has never been replaced. Talked to several mopar experts who told me on the assembly line they would interchange parts rather then stop the process if they ran out of parts, we believe that is what happened. The car has around 50,000 miles which believe to be real miles. The car was born a non shaker, no billboard, 8 3/4 rear end car. The previous owner added a shaker hood, billboards, and a Dana 60 rearend. The owner also added electronic ignition, aluminum intake, and a aluminum radiator with fans. The car comes with its original rallye hood, the original rearend and the original cast iron intake. The car is currently in my builders shop getting a date coded original radiator, temp gauge replaced with nos gauge, aftermarket gauges removed, and correct exhaust system installed. I am leaving the intake and ignition as is. The car has a correct 440 six pack motor but not number matching. The car is painted in its high impact tor-red color which is its original color. The car has no rust it is a high end driver quality car. It is a beautiful car. I will only sell car with a visual inspection of the car. If your spending this kind of money you need to know what your getting. My asking price is $95,000. Thanks

Bench seat was an option have even seen them in a HemiCuda, dash pad was probably swapped never seen a special handling fender tag before very nice car.

I am surprised nobody has jumped on this 71 is the most popular year (I prefer 70) and a V code is as good as it gets for those of us that didn't win the lottery an that colour is hard to beat.

Automatic on the column hurts it. Ditto non-numbers, but that's not critical.
No mention of buildsheet or if fender tag is original.
Nice car. Just needs some fixing of some small things (change out that radiator).
Good luck!

The column shifter wouldn't make any difference to the value to a serious buyer a young boy racer wouldn't like it but they probably couldn't afford it anyway. It was part of the bench seat option and a lot of cool Cudas and Challengers came with them check out Zach Reynolds HemiCuda. My Cuda came with buckets and floor shift but if it had the bench and column shifter I still would have paid the same money for it and wouldn't mess with it but I would swap that radiator for the correct one. The console is useless anyway the lids never fit properly and you can't rest your arm on it, the slap stick does have it's advantages if you like manually shifting but I honestly like the bench and column shifter.

Funny that you should mention that as I was thinking the same thing ... went back and looked at the FT, saw the "A21" and thought "it's suppose to have it" ... wait a minute, that "A21" is in the wrong position on the tag ... "A21" is the SPD ... not the Elasto Front Bumper Pkg ... what a coincidence!
Anyway, I find it to be a rather interesting car ... even more so by it's bench-seat column-auto configuration AND lack of options ... probably the least amount of codes I have ever seen on a V-code FT ... very unique IMO.
