I too had a long stalled project Challenger that I put into storage in 1984 and finally took out to work on 5 years ago!
Looking forward to seeing your cars!

Here is the 71 barracuda vert from when I bought it in 1983; I am the 2nd owner. Also a picture from 11 years ago when I last worked on it. Was a 383 2bl console auto, AC, power top, power brakes. Will be a Torred 440-6 4sp with Dana 60, shaker, adding power windows, and will retain the AC somehow. Nice trailer hitch! I built the rotisserie.

Here is my '72 Cuda. First car I ever owned and bought it in 1979. Around 20 years ago a massive branch off a tree fell on it and well, the damage is clear. I bought another body shell which is straight for "one day"...

Welcome and Howdy!!

Is the original crushed car in possession of it's build sheet? Or fender tag? Is there a call out for the color keyed grill? Or was the car a V21 that had it's hood color changed?

Sweet 71!

I don't think the crushed '72 is a V21. No access to the fender tag as its under tarps. I think I have the build sheet in a notebook in the basement somewhere. I vaguely recall looking into this once prior.

The color keyed grille is unique. I do not know if it was factory or not. It was that way when I bought it in 1979. It is (was?) smooth without grit from argent.

Since the color keyed grill is such a rarity I figured I would ask about what documentation supports the keyed grill. Not that it matters or anything, just trying to learn from existing cars in case I have a chance at another car with the same option.
