J01 Driver Education

[cataclysm80]

I think this is a fairly rare option on an E body.   
(less than 0.1% of 70 Challengers, unknown quantity of other E bodies)

J01 Driver Education
Will probably have a D as the first digit of the Vehicle Order Number on the fender tag.
J01 will be on the broadcast sheet.
The dealer would get a price reduction and a tax break for each driver education car.
The car would be delivered to the dealer with these decals in the trunk.
Dodge had red decals, and Plymouth had blue decals.
The dealer would install the decals before delivering the car to the school.
The school would use the car for 1 year, and then return it to the dealer to be sold as a used car.

1970 Barracuda & Challenger used separate engineering drawings for decal placement.

1971 Barracuda & Challenger shared the same engineering drawing, but it's dated 9-15-70, which is after production began.
Early build 1971 cars would use the 1970 style of decal, as seen in the newspaper clipping.
Look closely at the door to see the decal.  (which the dealer did not install according to the engineering diagram, probably due to the billboard stripe)

I'd show up for Drivers Ed in a 4 speed 71 billboard 'Cuda, wouldn't you?   

[Cuda Cody]

For sure!  I would too. 

Wonder where that car is now?

I would be willing to take driver's ed over again and again if that was the car!!

That would be the first time a new student driver could actually intimidate the seasoned drivers and make them get out of the way lol

Interesting thread . . . never really thought about it . . .

If you see how student drivers drive around here you'd already be giving them the right of way when it's not theirs.....  I recently was out in my Challenger & a couple buddies were in their cars, we came upon a "Student Driver" car that was clearly a danger , had to hang back for a couple miles waiting for a safe passing zone... I think she may have needed to change her undies after we roared by her...

I like the quote from the article "the fall class filled up as soon as word got out.."

Kinda says it all.

Could you imagine showing up for Drivers Ed and getting to drive a 4 speed 340 Challenger? Man that thing wouldn't last long at my school!!!

[cataclysm80]

Thanks Burdar, it's awesome to see another drivers education E body!
I wonder if that car was coded J01.

If anybody else has pics of drivers education E bodies, it would be neat to see them.

I don't know why it has the Rallye louvers AND side moldings.    Maybe it's just an aftermarket stripe and not a molding?

[cataclysm80]

Maybe they put the moldings on incase the student drivers banged into things.

I would suspect because of student drivers it was there for the added protection.

This was back in the day when driving was a privilege not a right as it is deemed now so everyone can pay in all the required taxes. Sales, registration, gas, road, insurances, etc...
