1970 Challenger RT Tail Panel

[MoparDave]

To Mopar Dave:
Just went to the shop and looked at my tail panel...It has the 7 or 8 mount holes above the lights for the A63 Applique panel. So....long story short, my car may have had the A63 options, therefore I am going to stick with the full panel. Sorry for getting your hopes up. I really wanted just the quarter trim pieces and not the full panel but changing would require filling the holes and a great deal of extra work.

no worries here. glad you figured it out.

To all for your enjoyment...here is my tailpanel before media blast and after. Notice the 6 or so holes across the back panel above the tail light mount holes. There you go.

Just used Codys new Fender TAG decoder, my A63 came up as:
Challenger Molding Group A = Belt Molding, Front Splash Pan Scoop Molding, Cowl Molding, and Rear Astrotone Painted Applique. SE (JH29 & JS29).

The tail panel, must be "Rear Astrotone painted Applique" is that the light grey paint?

[Cuda Cody]

Yes, that's the rear panel and the shade or gray can vary from panel to panel.  I've seen NOS ones that were almost a dark gray and some originals that were a light gray.

I need to update the code description to say "Standard on SE JH 29 & JS29".

My SE rear finish panel has been a dark gray astrotone hue, along with the grill to match, since I've owned the car. If this info helps.    Thanks,   Al

Alan, you need to get out more. 

Of the 6 S.E.s & WSSs I've owned, no two finish panels were the same color or texture. They went anywhere from a light argent (like on 70 wheel centers) to a dark argent (like 71 wheel centers). None had much of a texture. Two had been painted over with rattle can black. I need to take a peek at my NOS one and maybe snap a pic or two.

All these cars had the holes above the taillights.

Challenger = painted Body Color
Challenger w/A63 (OPTIONAL) =  Astrotone Painted Applique
Challenger SE =  Astrotone Painted Applique
Challenger RT = painted Body Color
Challenger RT w/A63 (OPTIONAL) =  Astrotone Painted Applique (black early)
Challenger RT/SE = Astrotone Painted Applique (black early)

Just noticed this & had to comment... My R/T SE which had a black textured rear panels had a SPD of 723, certainly not an early car.... Actually rather late....  VIN was JS29U0B440289

@Ed can you get some close up detail pics of your finish panel?  Does the door sticker show "10-1969"?
