It's good to see another e-body car here. I had a 73 and a 74 Chally. Both were red with a white vinyl top. My first two cars. the 74 was a rust free old lady's car. I grew up and got a 'cuda. How did you come across the car, any stories? What are your goals for the car?

i came across the car in an auto trader magazine.. came from california.. had it shipped and picked it up.. since then a full resto has been done, it has been in Mopar Muscle Magazine, Rascal Flatts Music Video, numerous calendars.. multiple national show award winner.. goal is to make it into one hell of a G-machine---pro-touring car. custom interior.. these pics have my old wheels/tires on them.. new ones to come..

[challengerman71]

Beautiful car

Thanks so much. The resto was done 6 years ago.. i always get asked is that a new paint job.. i say, nope its 6 years old.. my paint/body guy knows how to lay it down and buff it.. and i take care of it with the right stuff.

Just put my new wheels tires on. LEt me know what you think./

[OLDFLM]

I like those better than the previous wheels!

I missed out on a 71 RT 440+6 in high school (1983/4).
A for real Vietnam, my brother bought it new and never came back story. I missed out by 30 mins when another "kid" got there before me and put down a $100 deposit while he ran to the bank to try to finance the rest. I had the $2000 cash in hand. He got the loan and I ended up with my Formula which I still have. Although, knowing what that Mopar is worth today I still wonder/wish...

Anyone know of a triple black 71 RT in NW Ohio?

V/R,
Ty

Awesome to see the MOPAR's in the forum. . .I LOVE the Charger's, Challenger's, and Cuda's. . .heck what am I saying I like the Roadrunners, Super Bee's, and GTX's too!!! Right now I've got a '67 Pontiac Firebird 400 which I don't plan on getting rid of but I'm always keeping my eye out for a Challenger, Cuda, or Charger at the right price that I can't pass up. . .my wife will wanna wring my neck, but sometimes you just gotta pay the price!

Dave, your Challenger looks great! Welcom to the forum and keep us posted with any updates and any new pic's.

I've always liked the 71 grill work. Welcome to the forum. Mopar tech is kinda thin around here, but there is still a lot of good info if you can sort through the specifics of the application. Welcome!
