[wally426ci]

Glad I found the site!!

I have a 71' Challenger optioned A078. SE style package. I'm hoping I find the owner of another car like this, I've only seen one other in the past 7 years and I've been to alot of shows.

options include but not limited to: front valance molding, a/c, international export (Made in USA tag), variable speed wipers, belt molding, leather 6 way seats, am w/ console cassette, overhead console, rear speaker/ defrost, trunk light, etc... 2 fender tags!!

originally a 318 Ivy Metallic Green car. I've added: raised hood, exhaust cut outs, 408 stroker, B5 Blue. all things i could take back to original if I ever wanted to.

Aluminum Heads will come down the road sometime, cast iron for now. disguised as a stock 340.

    Welcome, sweet '71 you got there.  But, I think we need more pictures.  'Specially of that stroker.   

That bottom pic is awesome!

Thats my cousins 68' Bee, it runs in the family.

Welcome to the site, nice car! 

My 70 came with the SE trim package, (all the moldings) but it did not have the opera rear window, or the overhead console.

Welcome
Great cars  , you must be having a lot of fun cruising together.
The B5 blue color is really growing on me.

Thanks Everyone! I'll be sure to post some pics of the interior and the science of my engine soon. car is runnig great but im always playing around with it to try and squeeze out a few horses. I've not run it on the track or dyno at all.

I mostly drive around on weekends to local cruises or a show here and there. there were 2 brief periods of time when a daily driver died, 1 67' coronet and the other a 65' new yorker, when I had to drive her daily. Now, every time i go out my blood pressure rises a little as i see people driving like idiots.

and, as you guys know we're always perfecting our cars through time. I just found a cassette player at Carlisle this year. I am still looking to get: rear bumper ( mine is good but id like a re-chrome), TTI's ( currently running Hookers), repro fender passenger side ( a bad fender to start with showing its age) , and a dash pad ( mine has a few cracks )

we're also rebuilding my fathers 74' Barracuda at the moment as well. originally Blue with Blue interior 318. my moms had it since 1985. Im also re-building her 69' Dart from 15 years ago but she doesn't know....SHHHH!!!!!!!! mums the word.

Very nice.  I know of 1, 71 formal roof car in Florida.

Let me know when you get that rear bumper, I'd be interested in your rear if you decide to buy new.  I just need a driver quality one.  Mine is banged up pretty bad.
