1971 challanger r/t 340 4spd dark bronze metallic
« on: March 12, 2012 - 08:15:39 PM »
Hello everyone,

I am certainly not new to mopars as my grandpa has a 71 challenger convertible and my uncle has a 70 t/a 4 spd.  I recently bought a 1971 Challenger R/T 340 4 spd car that is dark bronze metallic(GK6) with a black vinyl top and dog dish wheels.  The main reason i bought the car, other than being a mopar family, is that I haven't seen that color on a 71 340 r/t car before.  From what i could figure out it also has power brakes, chrome mirrors, am radio, high black buckets, light package, tinted glass-all, rear defrost, non console, non power steering.  Does anyone have any idea on the rarity of this car?  It is in the process of being restored right now and I hope to have it at Carlisle for mopars 2013.
