When they are number swapping the 1973 challenger, the VIN plates are from 1970 Challengers, one was an RT and the other wasn't.

The RT was a 440+4 and the other was a 383+2.

The footage of the engines being swapped also show two Big Block engines....instead of a small block which is what all '72-74 V-8 Challengers would have had.

Also when he slim-jims the lock he makes it seem like he pulled up to unlock it when in actuality all Challengers were push down to unlock with a slim-jim. Then again it doesn't even look like a Challenger door panel in that scene.

Anyone else notice this?

You are correct. Junkman Hallicki utilized his business to procure cars for his movie. He used a 70 challenger and updated it to look like a 74. there's a few give-aways, like the rallye pack wasn't available in 74, and the car has 70 side marker lights.

Also the Mustang is a 71 updated to look like a 73.
