1971 Dodge Challenger R/T

Description

With a highly detailed restoration, a terrific fully coordinated color combo, and the sweet rumble of its original Magnum V8, this real-deal 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T is the kind of car that turns your garage into a showcase.

This is a terrific total package. The consignor states that this was given a complete rotisserie restoration, and the proof is in the details. The panels expertly fit together, and the factory-correct Bright Blue Metallic paint has an electric-level shine. And even more shine comes from the bumpers, hood pins, and the 15-inch Rallye wheel trim. But what makes this a true icon are the aggressive touches, and those have been featured in satin in black. The hood treatment highlights the ram air openings; the complete set of black R/T longitudinal stripes accents the curvaceous sheet metal; and the large rear wing and matching tail panel offer a menacing finishing touch.

Mopars of this era have always been a nice place to spend some time, but this one goes the extra mile with a full blue interior that nicely coordinates with the exterior. This Challenger goes for both a premium and a sporty feeling with all the right elements. It starts with bucket seats and desirable center console. The wood grain in the center nicely coordinates with the door panels and dash for the right period-correct feeling. In fact, this one goes for so much originality, that even the AM radio is still in place! That means the restoration spent money even getting the details right on everything from the space-saver spare in the trunk to the three-spoke sports steering wheel. And Mopar fans know how special it Is to have the Rallye gauge cluster that features the large tach prominently in the center – just like a racecar.

When you peek under the hood, you'll find an engine bay filled with big block Mopar power. People will marvel at the correct presentation of the bold orange block, correct decals, and factory air topper. You'll take pride in telling them that this is the original numbers-matching motor, too! It inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, which helps contribute to the wicked snarl of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. The three-speed automatic transmission is original to the car, too, and the way this one shifts, you know it has received the proper care over the years. In fact, as you look at the undercarriage photos, the cleanliness of the whole car reminds you the advantages of a solid investment and the confidence it gives you for the future.

Correct-color, numbers-matching Challengers are always a favorite of enthusiasts. And this one even comes with the factory build sheet to prove its pedigree. So if you're a fan of high-quality American muscle, don't let this one slip away. Call now!
