Vehicle Description
It's hard not to get excited about this 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T.
After all, it's a beautiful coupe with all the right sporty touches
and a 383 V8 from the height of the muscle car era. And because
real Mopar muscle is a true rarity, this even comes with the
factory buildsheet to prove that your power car has provenance.
The theme of this car is a thoughtful muscle machine. The upgrade
to red paint has a glossy finish that not only radiates with an
attention-grabbing shine, but it also showcases the well-fitting
sheet metal. Just as bold as the red is all the aggressive black
touches such as the matte finish drawing attention to the scooped
hood, a full vinyl roof, and blackout rear panel. And of course,
your favorite part will be the special R/T stripes that love to
highlight the curvy rear fenders. And you'll also love the bright
pieces that add to the speedy style everywhere from the hood pins
to the polished Cragar SS wheels.
Chrysler's interior always got high marks for both style and
comfort, and because of good maintenance and investment, it
continues to be a great place to spend some quality time. The black
looks great as it coordinates with the exterior accents, and the
clean upholstery, good carpeting, a nice headliner, and a smooth
dash make it inviting. There's even a touch of wood-like paneling
on the dash, doors, and the desirable center console for a vintage
way to break up the darkness. It's a terrific sports car setup with
the classic Mopar dual-spoke sports steering wheel, Slap Stick
shifter, and a Rallye instrument package with round gauges that
include the tach right at the center.
When you peek under the hood, you'll find an engine bay filled with
big block Mopar power. The non-matching but period-correct 383
cubic inch V8. There has been an investment in keeping it quite
attractive with the polished valve covers, Magnum callout air
grabber, a bright orange block, tidy wires, newer hoses, and a
newer master cylinder. The mighty V8 inhales deeply through an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, which helps contribute to the
wicked snarl of the dual exhaust. The A727 Torqueflite three-speed
automatic transmission is great for both handling the big torque
and shifting smoothly. And the power steering, power brakes, front
discs, and grip of Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires makes for an
all-around solid driving experience.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and the very
valuable factory buildsheet. This is the real-deal Challenger R/T
that is a terrific muscle Mopar, and it's all offered for quite a
nice price. Call today!!!
