1971 Dodge Challenger restored, 360
« on: September 20, 2009 - 06:00:25 PM »
I may be selling my '71 Challenger to move out of debt and save for a house. If I do, it'll go up on here first. Here are the details:

The car was bought from Texas, restored in Ohio, and now resides in Southern California. It is a 1971 Dodge Challenger.

Originally: A/C car, B5 blue, blue interior, 318, auto, white vinyl top.

Now: FM3 pink, white interior, white vinyl top (just redone), 369, auto.

The 360 was a remanufactured (not rebuilt) block, meaning it is essentially new. The engine is pretty much all new parts from Summit Racing: 4-barrel Holley carb, high-rise intake, electronic ignition. It has headers with a complete dual exhaust. Suspension is mostly new.

The body was redone and painted by me. Paint is pretty good, body is very good. It was entirely redone less than 3 years ago. It has a new trunk floor, gas tank, new driver's side front floor, new driver's side wheel well lip. Several other small holes were patched. The front passenger's side fender is new.

It has an R/T hood with 360 emblems. I put on a new dual exhaust rear valence. Chrome bumpers are new.

The interior is mostly new, done in white. I added rallye gauged and they all seem to work. The clock, though, sticks. White vinyl top was just redone.

Overall this is a great driver car. I drive it around quite a bit and haven't had an issues. I haven't had it overheat or break down on me yet. Oh, I also upgraded to disc brakes on front and it has a new, fancy radio.

Basically, it was restored to the car I wanted, but not to specs. It's an R/t look-alike but not a clone.
