Yeah I'm pretty close to Port Coquitlam and yes I know I need to find a rally dash for it. I'm pretty sure it was just a base challenger.

I want to put all the stuff the r/t had on it.
How to tell the difference from an R/T and non R/T? The second digit of the VIN will be ''H'' for non R/T and it should read ''S'' if it came with the R/T package. In 1970, the 340 wasn' t available with the R/T package. If your VIN reads JS23H)XXXXXXX, you have an original 340 car. You should also have the A66 code on your fender tag. Like you said, the R/T came standard with the rallye cluster. The grill was silver\ argent when it was a base Challenger, but it was black with the R/T package. The R/T came with the rallye hood, (not flat), and heavy duty suspention. I notice you don' t have a brake booster, so you probably have front drum brakes. That' s ok, as disc brakes were optional, even on R/Ts. You steering wheel is wrong for the year, (probably came from a newer E-body, 1972-1974) same with your rallye wheels center caps. The correct ones should be the ''mexican hat'' type. Welcome to the site!
