We probably should have called them shark gills, but I guess fins sounded more ominous...

As I remember, the RT package included duel exhaust tips with the two rounded flanges in the valance (SE included wheel well moldings, the RT had the "shark door panels", did it too have the moldings? Did the full vinyl top also come with the wheel moldings? ). I'd also need to see under the car as the RT 440 should have factory torque boxes like the Super Bee. I have an old 1971 sales brochure somewhere. I'll check it this week. I did say that 22k was still a good price as all of the pieces appeared to be there. I would have bought it without a thought or worry of making my money back. You are correct in that the R/T included dual exhaust. But, the "machine gun" tips and dual exhaust valance were not a given. There was the possibility of it having the "California sound emissions" option which would have a regular valance and turned down dual exhaust tail pipes. Wheel opening moldings were also an option. The stripe down the sides and over the cowl were standard on an R/T or Super Bee but could be ordered without them if desired which would be a code "V68" Stripe delete and denoted as such on the fender tag.
