1971 Dodge Charger R/T Hardtop 2-Door Description
I will hope to answer all questions in this description but am happy to answer any questions not covered here.First let me say this car is a complete matching numbers original RT in butterscotch.When I say matching numbers I mean everything that has a vin number is correct and those items that just have a part number are correct as well as the date codes. I mean the engine, trans,radiator support and cowl area are all stamped with the vin.The radiator,alternator,fan blade, exhaust manifolds,carburator,distributor,vacuum advance,voltage regulator,wiper motor,starter relay,wiper bottle are all either nos,restored used or made in USA reproductions.Again,anything that was possible to obtain date coded was.No expense was sparedI tried as best as possible to make this one of the nicest 71s possible without over restoring it,The brake and fuel lines are all correct with the correct clamps. The radiator hoses upper and lower are nos. plug wires dated coded reproductions.Fuel pump was nos carter. I think you get my drift.Interior is all new legendary as well as headliner. Carpet ACC. Exhaust system correct rolled steel(accurate) and the mufflers are date coded(ECS) with pentastars,Alot alot of time and effort went into this car.Motor rebuilt by the best engine builder here in Phoenix.Trans and rear end rebuilt as well.Every single part of this car was addressed, thought about and carefully and diligently reassembled. Bumpers are OEM mopar pieces triple plated and look ALOT better than the Taiwan repops.Grill and tailight assemblies restored professionally. Original seatbelts cleaned restored and all have the correct date tags.All trim either polished or rechromed. Car was dissassembled completely and painted on a rotisserie. This car was an original undercoated car and was re undercoated with Franks correct undercoating.Group 27 red cap batteryTthis car came with rally wheels with g70-14 RWL which are curently on the car. The date coded rallys have been restored with repops of goodyear polyglas. The original spare and date coded tire are still in the trunk.as are the correct jack assembly with hook.I hope you get the idea that an immense time money effort and knowledge went into this car. Not to mention the passion. This is an unbelievably beatiful car. Original glass too
About the car, withouth decoded the complete fender tag let me give you the highlights.Firstly an original G5 high impact butterscotch car with black stripes and interior.8 3/4 rear with 3.23 gears.440 4bbl. console buckets auto. Painted racing mirrors, am/fm radio with rear speaker.A tastefully appointed cruiser with tunes.THIS IS A COMPLETE MATCHING NUMBERS CAR RESTORED TO INVESTMENT QUALITY.
Car was completed about 6 weeks ago and has 150 dial in miles since.Car runs and drives absolutely fantastic.Suspension was put together and aligned by a 77 year old man that was the front end man at aphoenix dodge dealership in the 70s. Drives great,true and straight.Came with factory 11 inch drum brakes so no quick stops lol.
I entered this car into one of the Scottsdale auctions that are being held next week but changed my mind about selling it there for two reasons. Primarily i love the car and didnt want to sell it until at least the scabs from all the cuts and bruises i got working on it have fallen off. secondary reason I wanted it to go to a Mopar guy where it will be loved.Not a hedge fund manager who decided that muscle cars were a good investment. Boo!!!Lest I forget the 10% commision I pay and the commission you pay as a buyer.So I am listing it here because I am working on yet another 71(never stops for me), Have more cars than anyone should have anyway. So my location is 2 or 3 miles from Barret-Jackson, Russo steele and the others so if you are coming here for Auction week, come see the charger, Have a toddy and or a snack,meet a crazy Mopar guy and perhaps purchase the nicest 71 you have ever seen. Clean Az title, curently registered and insured. I have some previous history, some pics of the before and after pics and potentially you can visit with the Phoenix fellow that had the car for 20 years before i bought it(and 5 others) from him. Another Mopar lunatic.Anyway, if you are serious about the car you can contact me for my phone number to discuss.BTW my buy it now price is less than the cost to restore it without the price of the car. If you have restored a car to a high level before you know how true that is you never ever see your investment back but you do it for love.BTW its about 70 in the days here in Scottsdale now!!!!!!!Need another reason????????
