Hi folks. Long time lurker, first time poster. Been a member on other sites for a while, figured its time to register here.
Got into E-bodies just a couple years ago. I had torn down my Road Runner for an engine build, and decided to buy another mopar to daily drive in the mean time. Happened upon a rusty B5 '73 Rallye which turned out to be the most-fun car I've ever had. Sold it a year later, thinking the Runner with the new engine would fill the void... it didn't.
April 2016 I bought a '71. I had wanted a legitimate '71 R/T but it had to be rough enough (and cheap enough) that it wouldn't bug me to drive anywhere and this one fits the bill perfectly.
It was originally a 383 auto, console, B7 dark metallic blue, black vinyl top, std black interior, and stripe delete. The fender tag is all but disintegrated with large chunks missing. Remarkably though I figured out all but three digits on the entire tag by looking at the partial codes, other tags on the net, and the original equipment still on the car.
Current plans are to fix up the structural damage, and re-skin the rear for a rough and ready daily driver this summer.
