This one just hammered for $75K.  With buyers premium that is $82K for a 383 Challenger, which is pretty high!
I saw the car in person when I went down there the other day.  I don't consider myself to be a "tagologist" but I was suspicious of the fender tag.  LA built car tags have a different thinner font.  The font on this tag appears more like the font on Hamtramck cars.  Anybody else have an opinion on it?

LA cars have both fonts for fender tags. Common knowledge.

I took a quick look at the codes and many were added to the car and were not original. Nice restoration, just coded options were not original to the car.

The fender tag does not have any signs of being a repro.
This Challenger has all of the fender tag items on the car except for the V5X - Vinyl Side Moulding in Black.
It has G34 - Driver side painted racing mirror on the fender tag but is equipped with Dual painted racing mirrors which required G34 and G32 on early Challengers.

Added options MISSING from the fender tag:
G32 - Passenger side painted racing mirror
P31 - Power Windows

There is no mention of a Broadcast Sheet or Window Sticker to verify if the car came with the J46 - Locking Fuel Cap (flip-top). Early 1970 Challengers did not have J46 on the fender tag even if so equipped.
Only the Broadcast Sheet, Window Sticker, or a Sales Invoice could verify whether it came with the Rallye Wheels.

This is a very well-restored R/T-Special Edition that has a few extra desirable options added. The selling price confirms the quality of the build.
