Nice looking car. $70k for a 340? What is the general consensus on cars offered by Vanguard Motors?

Somebody should tell them 71 Challengers never had white kick panels and there's a gold 340 shaker convertible floating around for sale for not a lot more....however this blue car is a 4 speed...

White kick panels don't sound like A vary good idea. won't stay clean for long!!!

If white kick panels are the only thing to pick on, car can't be that bad... You're right though the white panels don't seem right - easy fix though.
And IMO a much more desirable color combo than a gold auto car. Needs white stripes though ...

Should both engine and tranny cover be blue ?

Also on Ebay.
Here's the  video from their website:

This rotisserie restored, nut & bolt '71 Challenger is 1 of 176 340HP convertibles produced and 1 of 9, 4-speed manuals produced, making it extremely rare!

Is that 1 of 9 produced or 1 of 9 in Galen's registry?  I can't believe only nine total 340 4-speed convertibles were built.

Should both engine and tranny cover be blue ?

Engines changed from orange to blue in March/April of 71.  If this car was built after that, then blue is correct.  Plain steel wheels also changed in this time frame.  They came painted body color before March/April and were changed to black on later cars.

$70k? Not bad for a 340-four speed.

Half the price of a comparable 'Cuda.

However...I'm biased and rather have a 1970.
