Very nice looking.  Brings back good memories of my Black 70 Challenger. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Do you have any more pictures? Especially areas like the engine compartment, interior, and trunk. Also I can't tell from that photo are the side strobe stripes on or not?

71's are hard to find some parts for. The only 71 specific things that I know of that are being reproduced are the seat covers, tail light reflectors, M28 fender trim, and center caps. But they sure are nice looking, and they made less than the 70's. Your rellye is really nice as well. If I had a rallye that nice I don't think I would trade.

I like the grill, tail lights, and strips options that the 71 has. I want a black one with a 4 speed and a 340. So, my 73 lacks some things that I have always wanted. Yes, I put strobes stripes on it, but seems like a waste; so hard to see. Don't have a recent under hood shot. I'll put an old one here; I have changed intakes since.   :chatting:

Hi, I love the car. You know what you have there, and buying someone else is rust bucket wont make you feel any different. The bulsh*t l about one car worth more than another is just that. Now if society wants to reward the owner of a specific year and  model, that's fine for the rest of the world. But a well preserved E- body will eventually, (past our life time) out price a patched up rust bucket. In my opinion. Look at the 57 Chevy, I had one in 1968, and sold it for $450 after one year. It was a 2  door Belair, 283 stick, factory tinted windows with all the trim and no rust any where or any dents or old body work, just a black enamel over paint. The interior was all intact, it was only 10 years old then, but it was considered then as a kid's car.  Now a days I see the 2 door window post models hot rod'd (ech), so hang in there with Your muscle car.
