I thought the last year for the 500 option was '71. I could be wrong...

Mr340 -
I think you're right.

Thanks for that info. I did not know that. Did they switch it to an SE package in 72 instead of the 500 package??

mr340

The SE was a package before they dropped the 500 option, back to at least 69 that I recall.

Mine is a 74 318 V8, and hey archer, where did you pick up that hood? that's sick man.

Funny story. That's a 71 R/T hood and I actually wound up buying a non-running 71 R/T just for the hood and trunk lid (had a little rust on mine). I paid $400 for the car, sold off most of the other parts for about twice what I paid for the car, and still have a few parts left...

One of the few times I actually got lucky with a car deal!!! That was back in 1980 something. Now I'm sorry I didn't even try to get the 71 running. Ah to be young and impetuous again...

BTW - my charger started off as a 318 car as well.
