Vehicle Description
All the Mopar fans out there already know what kind of a rare sight
it is to find a 1971 Dodge Challenger convertible. So it's
especially nice to find one where there has been a large investment
to make this like a time capsule back to '71. And more than just a
show-quality presentation, this drop-top also has a big 426 Hemi
upgrade under the hood.
The theme of this car could easily be a thoughtful muscle machine.
The Hemi Orange paint has that exceptional high gloss shine that
says there was not only an investment in a professional application
but also the sheet metal, too. So the luster gets to show off
everything, right down to how well those big doors fit. The other
part that shows off this solid profile is the R/T dual side stripe
package that seems to flow almost seamlessly from the headlights to
the kick-up in the rear fender. These streaks are part of the dark
and aggressive touches that also include the extra-wide rear
spoiler and well-fitting black soft top. The R/T dual scoop hood,
hood pins, fender vent trim, and wide integrated dual exhaust tips
all add to the aggressive look, too. But more than just
intimidating, a thoughtful classic like this is also premium with
mirror-like chrome bumpers, new headlights, new taillights, fresh
weather-stripping, and plenty more quality details. And we
especially love the classic look of Rallye wheels with iconic
Firestone Wide Oval raised white letter tires
If you like the way the roof looks, then you'll be excited to flip
a switch and power it down to reveal a full black interior. Bucket
seats, a center console, and plenty of wood-like trim give it a
nice vintage look. It's even an air conditioning car (it will need
further work to be functional.) There was a big investment
everywhere to make sure this feels like you just drove it off the
Mopar lot in 1971. Even the Chrysler AM radio is still cranking out
tunes! This was the final year for Challenger convertibles, and
there were less than 2,200 made. And that low figure gets even
rarer when you account for convertibles born with V8 power like
this one. So since this was a performance machine from day one,
it's great to see all the right features inside to get your
enthusiast pulse racing. That means a three-spoke sports steering
wheel, a sporty round gauge package, and an iconic pistol-grip
shifter.
You're going to love lifting the hood at car shows to showcase the
big V8 with the bold Hemi callouts on the air topper. And you can
just tell that there was a huge investment to give you the tidy
look and big shine that you can show off with pride. And just like
the rest of the car, they even give this terrific detail, right
down to the decal. You'll even put a mirror under this one to show
off the comprehensive work a full restoration gets you. More than
just look terrific, you have the substance of an era-correct 426
cubic-inch V8. The mighty motor inhales deeper with a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, and a wicked set of headers helps this
exhale with added power and authority out of the dual exhaust. The
A727 Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission is a stout
unit, and so you get crisp and confident shifting. And with power
steering and power brakes, and front discs, you're looking at a
rare cruiser that's also easy to enjoy.
You're not the only one who dreams of this ultimate Mopar. So you
need to hurry if you want this drop-top Hemi classic in your
garage. Call today!!!
