For Sale: 1971 Dodge Challenger in Mesa, Arizona

All the Mopar fans out there already know what kind of a rare sight it is to find a 1971 Dodge Challenger convertible. It was the final year for the factory drop-top, and there were less than 2200 made. So these don't come up for sale too often, and it's even rarer that you'll find one coming off of nearly 30 years of long-term care. In that time it has been carefully restored to look like a crisp and clean true vintage machine. But beneath the skin, there's a big 472 Hemi V8 upgrade lurking. So if you have muscle Mopar dreams, you know you need to take a closer look at this rare drop-top Hemi.
