Still haven't found the time to work on it sooo I'll post it again.

I'm thinking of trading my original plum crazy 1971 R/T Challenger.
The wifegod and I currently own two plum crazy 1971 R/T Challengers so I'm interested in trading this one for a certain few cars.
Between the two I would much rather keep this one as it's a well documented 4 speed, big block car, with buildsheet, fender tag, and decode from Govier but the other one was a gift from my wife's late father so it's the one we'll keep.

This Challenger is an original FC7 plum crazy, big block 383, 4 speed car.
The car has it correct R/T VIN which matches the VIN sequence numbers on the title, the door sticker, the cowl and radiator stampings.
I have the car's fender tag and it's original build sheet, the car is legit.
The car's build sheet has been decoded by Galen Govier and I have his documentation and repop window sticker.
It was scheduled to be built on June 16, 1971 so it's one of last big block R/T Challengers in plum crazy to be offered by Mopar.
The car has the pistol grip 4 speed with factory console and the rare hounds tooth cloth insert seat option.
The original 383 engine is missing but the 4 speed transmission is original and numbers matching.
This Challenger is a solid western car.
Frame, inner fenders, hinge areas, battery area, crossmember area, etc are rock solid.
It is an original hardtop so there was never any rust issues at the rear window and/or front windshield pillar areas from a vinyl roof.
I pulled the interior and carpet and the floors are rock solid with original purple paint EXCEPT I found a few typical E-body pin holes by the driver's foot area. I have a stamped floor patch panel ready to install.
I had the engine compartment stripped and repainted it's correct plum crazy color.
The paint on the car is presentable as a driver, but is older and faded on top of the fenders and hood, it DESERVES new paint to be super nice.

The car currently is a roller but I have a fresh, strong running 440 Sixpack engine that's currently running and driving in another Challenger of mine that I could install for the right deal unless someone wants to trade on the car as a roller.
 Interior is very stock and uncut, it still has it's original am radio.


I would be interested in trading on the following cars:

An original 1968 or 1969 R/T Charger. Must be an original XS VIN R/T car.
4 speed prefreed but will consider automatic.

An original 1970 or 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda.
Must be an original BS VIN 'Cuda.

An original 1968 or 1969 Roadrunner or GTX, (no clones).

I would  consider trades on 68-71 B or E body convertibles.

I would consider trading up towards a 97-02 Viper or new R/T Challenger or SRT.

 
My Challenger is NOT up for a cash sale, (who needs cash anyway), nor am I desperate to get rid of this car.
I'm not looking for a high dollar show car, just a nice, solid driver/local show car in similar condition to my Challenger.

Please, no rustbuckets, major projects, or cars with salvage or questionable titles.
I could add a little cash for the right car.


Feel free to E-mail me pictures of what you have.

Thanks.

To be honest I really do like the car and it has a lot of potential.
It's going to take a real special car for me to be interested in trading for.
I would much rather have this car and keep waiting for some free time to work on it than cash sitting in the bank, but then again we really don't need two of the exact same Mopars which is why I would consider trading this one for something else.(we actually have 3 challengers total)

If I find another Mopar I want I'll buy it(but I would much rather trade for it) and sell this Challenger, but I'll get it running and driving first.
Clear as mud? ???


For those interested the 440 sixpack engine I plan to install(someday :dunno:) is currently in my other 4 speed Challenger.
It's a completely stock bottom end 1966 440 engine with very low original miles.
Very close to stock build that's running low 12's with more to go.
