All 70 Charger R / Ts have body colored tailpanels. The rear finish panel is the blackout on 70 Chargers. 68 Chargers are also body color around the tailpanel blackout treatment, only 69 Chargers have the whole tailpanel blacked out. XH code 70 Chargers the whole tailpanel is body color.

ok...  so 68s and 70s got a trim panel making the black out and 69s got a painted black tail panel and with molding around ( aside the bumper on bottom ).

nice!

68, 69 had painted tail panel

As I stated 68 Chargers were body color outside of the blackout area. 69 Chargers were the only ones where the whole tailpanel was blacked out.70 Chargers were all painted body color, and the finish panel had the blackout on it.XH code 70 Chargers had no finish panel on them,they were painted body color, and used the same Charger emblem script with the arrow, and used the same chrome trim around as 69 Chargers did. E en though the taillights will interchange, and look almost the same,the 70 Charger taillights have a reflector in the lense,and 69 Chargers have a flat silver accent stripe painted on the lenses that 70 Chargers do not have.

I was not arguing with you Chargervert :)

The entire body is painted one color. The "blackout" is done to this aluminum panel:

Survivor Chargers are few and far between. I had the chance to buy a similar B5 and black 70 Charger R/T SE with 32k original miles years ago,I have always regretted not buying that car. I do believe they command a premium price wise,and this car is priced fairly.

I got what you meant... the blackout is on 68s painted like 69s, just with more trim around to separate the color section from the blackout section on tail panel itself. Thanks!

I thought initially 68s got a panel like 70s but larger.

I like it. Never a big fan of the longitudinal stripes but it works on this car and with the white top breaks up all that red nicely.

That would be the downside of buying an actual nice survivor, they're only new once.....

Even something as simple as removing the longitudinal stripes, if you didn't care for them. I'd be conflicted about it.  :scratchchin:
Very well said i like to pick my options Btw your car rocks! :2thumbs:

I actually passed on the car. What was supposed to be an Arizona car turned out to have been bought in Texas but had a Minnesota title. Rust was a little more than I expected. Nice car still but he was stuck at $45k I offered $40k.

You would be surprised how many people think their car is rust free I did until it was blasted
Then I was like holy sh*t!  :rotz:

Nice car.  I'd lose the stripes and the body colored tail panel but that's it....

Yes I think the longitudinal strip looks lost and too thin. I would like to see it with a Batmobile style side stripe. (red on black)  :shruggy:

That what I was told, was rust free until it was blasted, then floor pans looked like swiss cheese. 

Never could figure out why the blasting would cause all that rust.
Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....
