A93 Challengers. Who has heard of them!? Option code A93 was called the "Deputy" in 1970, and the "Challenger Coupe" in 1971. Starting in Mid-March, the Deputy Coupe was a lower-priced Challenger.

The Coupe had fixed rear windows: The window regulators were deleted, the tracks bolted in place, and a chrome cap covered the window crank hole on the rear trim panels. Instead of the wood grain steering wheel, the Coupes got the Barracuda Coachman grain steering wheel. And, since we were talking about interiors the other day, The A93 cars got the L6X9 and L6XW interior (notice on the picture of the interior, the door inserts are on the door, albeit without woodgrain).

These cars also had no Air Conditioning, day/night mirror, three speed wipers, dual horns and the cigar lighter were options (so was a Shaker hood in '71!).

Standard engine choices in '70 were the 170 and 198 Slant Six, 318, and both 383s, the latter 383 was only optioned on six A93 cars, split down the middle four-speed/auto. Road and Track tested a basic Challenger in 1971, that had the N-code 335 horse hipo 383, four speed, and a flat hood!

The '70 cars were ordered as a High line (JH23) then had the A93 option attached to it. Sales literature for the '71 mention a JL21 (which Chrysler has done with other product lines, such as Darts, and later, Volares and Aspens) VIN coding for the Coupe. There has been a handful of JL21 cars being documented as existing, but for the most part, the majority of '71 Coupes were ordered as High lines with the A93 package.

I'm looking for production numbers for '71s, but I know there was close to 1600 A93 cars built in '70.

Stay tuned, but here's some pictures of the sale literature, option codes, window delete plug, and a fender tag! --KFD
