71 challenger
« on: November 19, 2005 - 10:43:19 AM »
Hello. Just joined this web site a few weeks ago and I really enjoy it.  Been wanting to get back into Mopar Muscle for 10 years now so I went out and got this 318 roller for $7500. I have a 440 to put in it and I'm thinking of converting to a 4 speed.  The guy I got it from had a 440 in it that he dragged. Lookes like it has new suspension parts. Said it had the super stock springs. Has 3.23 posi.  New tires and wheels. Not great shape but good enough to make into a nice street car. Looking forward to spring.

Wow!!! Great project for sure!  The body looks really solid and though the pics are a little dark, the paint looks like it's in pretty good shape.  Sounds like she could be done in no time.

Welcome to the board...glad to have you!

Welcome to the site!  Your '71 looks like it'll be a very nice street car, especially when you get that 440 power under the hood!

Welcome!  I dunno but that car looks pretty nice to me!  With the front end up like that it looks like it's launching from a stop!  Looks like a great project!  Keep us updated!

Very cool set-up, best of luck, awesome project to start with!
 Sorry, couldn't stand that beauty being kept in the dark. Hope you do not mind. I just had to lighten her up a bit so we could see
