I have had my 71 Challenger for almost a year now and am currently restoring her back to dealership glory.

Well the car was originally B5 Blue which I like but I also like FC7 so I haven't really decided yet. I do know that its going to have the blackout on the hood and a black vinyl top and either a ducktail spoiler or a black bumblebee stripe.

I have been really leaning towards B5 Blue and I know that the seats I have are the wrong ones because I took the covers off and they look nothing like the challenger bucket seats, I bought a pair out of a 71 Charger and the two pairs look nothing alike. But here is a picture anyway. Sorry its not very good its from when I got the car and I haven't needed to take any pictures of the seats.

Hey newbie,
Welcome to CC.com. You've got a great Mopar there.  I see you are from Va Beach. I am about 25 miles away in the "P" town. Have you posted on the Tidewater Mopar Club site?? I thought I saw pics of your car there. You ought to join the club. It's a great local club and there's a lot of great Mopar folks that could help you with your restoration project!!  :working: We have a big show coming up June 28th at Hall Dodge in Va Beach. If you are interested in the club, just send me a PM. Also if you need any help with the car, just let me know. I am an OLD mopar fart, but pretty handy with tools!! :roflsmiley: :smilielol:
