1971 Dodge Challenger R/T (numbers matching!)
1 of 731 - 340 Automatics R/Ts produced
1 of 180 - 340 R/T with A36 Pkg.
This car was originally sold in Salem, VA at Beach Brothers Dodge. Then to Texas, and then to Michigan. It is a survivor except for one repaint years ago in Red with added RT stripes. It was originally Dark Green Metallic. It is pretty loaded. I have the window sticker, body tag, and buildsheet along with some other owner documentation. Here is a list of some of the rarer options ordered on the car.
Stripe Delete
S74 Fast Ratio Power Steering (same as 70 TA and AAR)
Power Disc Front Brakes
Air Conditioning
A36 Performance Axle Package (3.55 Suregrip)
Single Rear Seat Speaker
Note that the build date is April 2, 1971. According to Galen, starting in April 1971, Chrysler started painting engines Chrysler Blue. This is not a mistake, this is the ORIGINAL engine. Another unique thing about this car!
The car is completely numbers matching with engine and trans never out of the car. 63,800 original miles. Black interior, buckets and console. The car was converted to electronic ignition (distributor is from a 72 318), original distributor gone. The TQ was replaced with a 73 400, 4spd carb, original carb gone. The car is missing the jack mast, but the hook, base and tire iron is still there. It is missing the rear speaker, but the radio works.
I bought new repro kick panels for it, new carpet, new legendary seat covers, only back seat is installed, but fronts just have minor seam tears so you could do the fronts whenever. New window catwhiskers, front and rear, new shelf panel and cardboard behind rear seat. New sill plates, glovebox liner. The interior is nice, except two dash cracks at the center speaker. It has the original 71 wheels that came on the car with the correct dark center caps. I put on new lug nuts. Has new front blinker lenses. The car has some rust on the lower quarters and lower right front fender. Easy fix on the rust and paint it back to the original color! The car runs and handles great and is fast. The chrome is great.
