    '71 Challenger for 5k?
    « on: January 20, 2007 - 01:12:54 PM »
    Went out today to look at a '71 Challenger 318 Auto, A/C , the car does have a fender tag on it and is pretty much all original. 1/4's where put on a few years back but it does need a trunk floor and front floor section. The firewall has a little rust thru near the brake booster and also the normal rust for a E-body. Yes the car is GREEN w/Green interior , my favorite :lol:.. leather roof car , power steering , power brakes, am radio, floor console and has a ralley hood but should be a flat one. Car looks like it has everything there. Just needs to be completely done over. Guy is asking $5,000.00 , maybe I could get him down a nickel or so? What did you guys think. Would make a nice long term project for me. attached are two photos......Thanks vinb......

    Looks like a great car except from the fender damage. Are the floor/trunk pans ok ?

    I paid more for my 73 and it's not in much better shape. Go for it!

    That sounds like a heck of a good price. If it were me, it'd be in my garage already - that is, if I could find the room. Regardless, go for it!

    I agree with everyone.  :grinyes:
    Even the vinyl top doesn't seem to have any bubbles under it. A good sign  :thumbsup:
    The decision seems to be unanimous here  :2cents:  :burnout: :working: :ylsuper:
    But in the end, your the one that will decide her fate  :grinyes:
    Go through it real good, and I hope it works out for you  :cheers:

    I'd jump all over it, 5k is nothing. Buy it today, and if you have second thoughts you could sell it tommorrow for a nice profit. Let us know what you decided.
