Vehicle Description
1971 Dodge Charger R/T HEMI For Sale- "R" Code HEMI, One Of Only 33
Factory Built LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1971 Dodge
Charger R/T HEMI �By 1971, the Hemi had earned its reputation as
fearsome competitor on the street and street compared to likes of
Ford and Chevrolet's top performance models. As the muscle car era
was winding down due to emission laws, American manufactures were
de-tuning their high-performance models. 1971 represents the end of
an era as it would be the last year the Hemi would be found under
the hood of the Dodge Charger. For 1971, the Charger's body was
restyled, as it sported a more curvaceous, Coke-bottle shape, was
two inches shorter in wheelbase, and was three inches shorter in
overall length than before. It also sported ventless side windows,
concealed windshield wipers under the hood, and a split front
bumper. �Even with emission crackdowns by the government, the
Charger still had an impressive V8 engine lineup available. The R/T
came standard with a 370 horsepower 440 Magnum. The 440 Six Pack
with 385 horsepower was also available. But if you wanted to run
with the big dogs, you opted for the 426 Hemi. The 426 Hemi was
rated at 425 horsepower and 490 foot-pounds of torque with a
compression ratio of 10.25:1. While most car makers were detuning
their big block engines and lowering compression ratios, Dodge
stood out from the crowd by keeping the 426 Hemi alive with the
same horsepower and torque numbers it had in 1970. �This 1971 Dodge
Charger R/T HEMI is one of only 33 built in 1971 with a Hemi and
automatic transmission. This factory HEMI car was ordered in the
highly desirable B5 Bright Blue Metallic paint with black striping
and matching B5 Blue interior. It is powered by the numbers
matching 426ci HEMI engine and the numbers matching 727 Torqueflite
automatic transmission. Well equipped, it features a number of
great extras including Rallye Instrument Cluster, Maximum Cooling
Package, N96 Ramcharger Hood, Hemi Suspension, Hood Performance
Treatment, Console, Chrome Exhaust Tips, Rear Speaker and Canada
Spec Package. �Inside, the car features a AM radio, high-back
bucket seats with a center console hosting the gear lever for the
727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission and a locking storage box.
The Sure Grip 8 �-inch rear end is equipped with a 3.23:1 gear
ratio providing spirited acceleration and easy highway-speed
cruising. �Documented with the original broadcast sheet, ownership
history, and Galen Govier fender decode this Charger R/T is a rare
opportunity to acquire a remarkably well-equipped example of a
Hemi-powered Charger. With only 33 built with a HEMI this should a
must have for any serious Mopar collector. Additional Details: 1971
