Yes, it would.......

I checked that car out months ago when the previous owner had it here in Houston, at the time, he wanted me to verify it was a Superbird, which it is. I found all the special parts which the original owner didn't have a clue about... I didn't see a trace of another color anywhere. At first I was skeptical since FE5 was not on the standardized color list of Superbirds...... But, as Dave Wise showed today by removing the front fender rear splash shield, low-and-behold, it was red..........  :2thumbs:

I spoke to the current owner for an hour yesterday... Going to just get it up and running.........

Another example of, "Never know what MaMopar could have done" back then.....  This ranks right up there with the couple of burnt orange Superbirds (of course which weren't on the list of colors either)

What's the colour code on the fender tag? I haven't seen any fender tag pictures despite mention of it.  :shruggy:

That would be cool, it could also be a RT that came with a TA hood.

I believe the story is it is a 383 Challenger R/T convertible dressed out in T/A hood and rear deck spoiler.....
