Thought you guys would like to see some "as found" pics. This owner had the car since 1972. As you know the original owner lives in Tucson where the car was purchased new-

Are the louvers factory installed? Was the car coded for a vinyl top or were the louvers added by the original owner later? I always thought that the vinyl top was a mandatory option when you ordered louvers because the metal edges of the louvers would tend to dig into the paint and the vinyl top would prevent that from happening?
(I'm not nitpicking - just curious - I love how the car looks without a vinyl top - it's breathtaking.)

I remember trying unsuccessfully for years to buy an original pink/white 440-Six Pack 1970 Charger R/T-SE with factory sunroof back in the 1980s. It was in Saskatchewan but somebody else ended up getting it. I love that color.

Yes the louvers are factory installed, the fender tag actually lists them twice. And tag also is stamped FM3 in both top and bottom. As does both production broadcast sheets.
There is a rubber seal that goes around the area where paint contact is.

I was planning on taking it over while I was in town but that weekend was calling for rain, so Mark and I drove the 72 Cheyenne over.
Not much of a turn out that day.
I'll be back down in January, so hope to take it then.

Neat! I hope to see it in person then...

And maybe even meet up with you...since we've just missed each other a few times already...
