1971 Dodge Challenger Additional Info:

UP FOR AUCTION IS A VERY NICE 71 DODGE CHALLENGER OWNED BY THE SAME FAMILY IN FLA FOR OVER 30 YEARS. THE CAR WAS SITTING SO LONG THE MOTOR LOCKED UP..IT WAS THEN THAT IT WAS DECIDED TO RESTORE HER.I WILL EXPLAIN BEST I CAN. DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED.THE BODY WAS SANDED DOWN TO BARE METAL.BEING FROM FLORIDA SHE WAS SPARED SALTY ROADS AND RUST WAS NOT MUCH OF AN ISSUE. MOSTLY SURFACE RUST WERE THE ORIGINAL CITRON YELLA PAINT WORE OFF.IN FACT THE ONLY PLACE ON THE BODY A MAGNET DOSE NOT STICK IS A COUPLE OF PLACES ON THE RIGHT DOOR WERE THERE WERE SMALL DENTS AND THE BOTTOM OF THE RIGHT FENDER WERE METAL WAS WELDED IN AND SKIM COATED.ALL FRAME ASSYS ARE SOLID! THE MINT CONDITION HOOD IS AN ORIGINAL 71 RT VERSION THAT HAD HOOD PINS..THE MINT TRUNK LID IS ALSO ORIGINAL AND HAS THE PROVISIONS FOR THE SPOILER WING AND BRACKETS. THREE COATS OF EPOXY PRIMER WERE USED AND THE CAR WAS BLOCKED AND PAINTED ACRYLIC OEM PLUM CRAZY INSIDE AND OUT.. THE 318 WAS TOSSED AND A STOCK REBUILT 340 AND TORQUE FLIGHT TRANS WAS PUT IN ITS PLACE,OF COURSE THE ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK WERE PAINTED WHILE THE MOTOR WAS OUT..HAS CUSTOM DUAL EXHAUST AND EDLEBROCK CARB AND RUNS SMOOTH AND STRONG ON PUMP GAS.HAS 83/4 REAR WITH 323 POSI. THE BRAKES WERE GONE THROUGH AS WELL AS THE SUSPENSION SO SHE GOES DOWN THE ROAD WELL AND STOPS WITH A HARD PEDAL.CAR IS ALOT OF FUN TO DRIVE AND REALLY TURNS HEADS! THE INTERIOR RECEIVED NEW LEGIONARY SEATS,NEW CARPET,HEADLINER,AND DASH. ALL GAUGES, LIGHTS, AND ELECTRICAL WORK AS THEY SHOULD.AC IS ALL THERE AND WILL NEED CHARGE,AM RADIO IS NOT HOOKED UP. ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS OPEN EASY AND CLOSE TIGHT WINDSHIELD IS NEW.ALL TRIM WAS REMOVED AND EITHER REPLACED OR RESTORED ABOUT 80% OF THE TRIM IS OEM INCLUDING THE GRILL AND TAIL PANEL AND IS VERY NICE! I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS CAR AS BEST I CAN HOPEFULLY THE PICS WILL DO THE REST.THERE WAS ABOUT 30K SPENT RESTORING THIS BEAUTY AND I AM SURE I HAVE MISSED SOME DETAILS SO PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS DURING THE AUCTION AS YOUR BID/OFFER IS TO BUY. THE TITLE IS CLEAR AND IN MY NAME.. BUYERS WITH LESS THAN TEN FEEDBACK RATING CONTACT ME FIRST OR YOU WILL NOT WIN THIS CAR. THANKS FOR LOOKING
