71 Challenger?

[MoparHead]

Alright kind of the same boat as another guy on the board I see. There is a Dodge Challenger 1971 318sb and a 927 auto trans. NUMBERS MATCHING. Clear Title. Few rust spots here and there. Clean interior, orginal everything. California car. Whats it worth to you guys?
Pictures are 3 years old but hasnt even been titled since.

Whats it worth? ( you guys know more than I do on it)

  5K it isn't a high option car but a 1970 #'S Matching Challenger still gets the looks

Man, e-bodies are great looking cars!  Yep, same boat.  Depending on condition, I'd put it around 5 - 6 thousand.  Of course if you guys are the buyers, I'd low ball...say $4,000 and see what they say. You can always go up in price.

  Real nice looking 71, you know you asked the question that is truly impossible to answer. If I were determined to buy and E-bod, the one you described would be a great canadate. And everyone would do something different, If you like it the way it is just restore it to original, but since it is a #'s matching car most definately KEEP all original parts that you may replace with upgrades.

That car is worth as much as you are willing and can afford to pay. But seems that 5-7K might be reasonable. That may sound high to others here, but if the body is solid and straight that means any resto. will be greatly reduced because of body work, the paint will cost the same no matter. In other words you may buy a car and only pay a thousand for it, but it may cost you a minimun of 6-8K to restore it. BTW, when you taking her home ?

he bought it 3years ago from cali, and has been in storage ever since. I posted a wanted add on 1 of my local boards, and off of an impulse he posted this. I am the only 1 looking at it. He bought it for 4500 3 years ago and still has not even titled it!!!. It gets driven around the block every month. He said 4500 on it, low ball him 3500 cash in his face? shes a beut though

That sounds like a pretty good deal...and  you're right, she does look beautiful.  Sounds like you can't go wrong.  So, you going to get it??

also when I get her, should i just keep the engine and tranny and swap in the 727 tranny ,but what engine do you recommend. weekender, street mostly- a little draggin here and there?

i live in nebraska, we just got 15 inches of snow...im not gonna drive her/pick her up till the streets are dry. I dont want her touching snow.

[Carlwalski]

440's are a good choice, although there's some mean "little" small blocks around say a 360  

[MoparHead]

what kind of numbers could i pull with a 360-727..with some suspension, exhaust, electrical work? stock motor for now if that worked out.

O yea, thanks for all of your help in this.

LOL!!   "The Question" Ummm a lot depends but until you've done most of the work and know exactly what you've got in there and whats be done it's hard to tell.
I'd say Mid 12's is a good start  

[MoparHead]

  ....that would work...damn i almost want to tell him I will pick it up now just so I can start in on her. RWD in 5in of packed snow...in a classic. NO

I myself would go a 440 there are a few around and done properly on a budget you'll be pushing mid 11's  
That's if you've got time and find the right combo's, and that's where we come in to help mate

i dont want to run past 11.99, i dont wanna run a cage and ruin that interior.
