My '71 Charger is a 500. All the power accesories including AC. Hiddem headlights. (I put those on. I don't think it was available.) 383 4 barrel. Slap stick shifter in the console. It had a vinyl top which I removed. One weird thing is it doesn't have R/T tail light which I despately long for. Repainted Hemi Orange, original color. Black buckets.

My questio is, what did the 500 do over a base car? And then what options were added. I'm sorry I dont have a fender tag. The left front fender had been replaced.
 
I think rallye dash and the R/T tail lights pretty much cover it. Super Bee has the cheap tail lights. R/T and 500 had the nice tail lights. All 3 had the rallye dash. Of course the 500 had the plain hood. I think the 500 and R/T had the same door panel tops as well.
 
500 had the same interior and tail lights as R/T's. Like 70 Coronet R/T and 500 shared trim and interior. Largest engine option was the N code 383.
