@michaeltutty1540 7 месяцев назад

That is definitely a car worth saving. They built 10 with the 318 and 3 speed floor shift. 50 years later, this may be the last one extant. It could well have been the only one in that colour with brown interior and white vinyl top. Parts are pretty easy to get, so that does make it easier. The 318 2bbl was the standard V8. It was a 2 up engine option, as both the 194 and 225 slant 6 engines were also available. Keep in mind that in 1971, power steering was an option. There were 3 different steering ratios available. The standard manual steering box had the slowest ratio. Power steering came with a faster ratio. Oddly, there was a third, even faster ratio that did not come with power steering. There were 3 brake systems available. Standard was unassisted 4 wheel drum set up. One up was front disc brakes, also unassisted. Front disc brakes with power assist were the top option. In determining value, the presence or absence of optional equipment can make a big difference. I hope the original 318 can be saved. Numbers matching does increase value The painted to match gas cap was standard, even on our very base 72 Dodge Dart. The chrome gas cap was an option. On the 71, the steel wheels came one of two ways. Cars ordered with hubcaps had wheels painted body colour. Cars ordered with full wheel covers came with black wheels. This could be a fun car with the work done. It would be less complicated that you might suppose, since the sheet metal is available and all the hard to find parts seem to be there.

That's a great car to restore! Your lucky to find a Challenger in that condition. It's going to need a lot of metal work obviously. But for a nearly complete/original car, it's worth restoring (not for a profit). I'd keep the stock original appearance and build a nice small block to make it fun to drive.

@panderzextreme2210 7 месяцев назад

For their answer for whether or not it's worth saving, it is possible, as long as the chassis is structurally sound and the body is in a good enough condition. Repairing rust holes on these muscles cars is pretty easy as there's not that many curvatures in these cars + panel removal and repairing is quite simple + I think they still make replacement panels and floor pans for these cars.

AMD makes every part for these cars, but the labor involved is anything but easy. For perspective, a set of new reproduction full quarter panels for a Challenger will cost thousands of dollars. It's harder than it looks.

That's what happens when you store your car over a dirt and gravel floor. My 71 Demon 340 has 14,400 original miles, and it's still like new, but it's always been garaged and driven a few hundred miles every year. Not a bit of rust. None! I've owned many Mopar muscle cars since 1971 and with the exception of my brother's 70 Dart Swinger they've all held up well. His car was driven every winter in Northern Ohio and the frame rusted out in 8 years around the torsion bar anchor. I owned 2 Demons 1971, 2 Chargers 1971, 1972, 73 Valiant and none were that rusty even with 120,000 plus miles. Maybe this Challenger has 127,000 miles on it?

@rdh2059 6 месяцев назад

Favorite muscle car of all time is the Pontiac GTO 2nd Gen (1968 - 1972). These cars had great sleek styling while being very light (for the time), giving them great potential in power to weight... The Pontiac Royal Bobcat was the pinnacle with a 390-horsepower 428 cu in V8. That car is worth saving. Aftermarket sheetmetal for the floors and trunk area are available. Unless someone is doing a "revival", just getting that car to run for a few hundred miles, they'll rebuild/replace that motor and possibly the transmission. A lot of Mopar folks love rebuilding those engines and they end up in better than original condition. Yeah, that's worth saving...

@masonhook8803 4 месяца назад

To answer your question, I would say it’s definitely worth restoring. There’s basically 3 options. 1. Complete rotisserie job if your buddy wants it to be a garage queen because of sentimental reasons. 2. Leaving it as it is for the right collector (if it really is a 1 of 10 for 1971). 3. Welding in new floor/trunk panels, bondo and paint the outer panels, slap on aftermarket inner door panels and drop a fresh 350 or something else reliable in it and drive the hell out of it. If you have the right connections or can work on your own stuff, you could probably do the last option for 12-15k. That’s probably what I would do if I inherited it. The MOPAR guys are losing their minds reading this and hearing you say LS swap it, but that’d be the cheapest way to getting it to be reliable and have plenty of power. Also could do modern dodge engines like the 3.6 or the hemi, but for a cheap rebuild the hemi is out of the questions. Thanks for listening to my rant, great vid 👍🏽

The car is definitely worth restoring. Pretty much every part for this car is reproduced now. So it's all a matter of how motivated someone is.

late 60's and early 70's very popular especially the 70 Challenger. The 318 is the standard base engine. Some came with big blocks including the 440 & 426 Hemi. Graveyard cars rebuilds them for about 100k plus and that's what it would be worth after a full restore at best. Most all parts are available to rebuild, I hear.

This is why sitting in a barn and getting wet and never drying out is worse that leaving outside, perfect example. I'm impressed with whatever you used on the top, cleaned up awesome, actually the whole car did, someone will fix it!
