Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to present this
gorgeous Dark Blue Metallic 1971 Dodge Charger for sale. Based on
what the decoded fender tag indicates, this car is nearly the same
as it was when it rolled off the manufacturing line in 1971! It
appears to have been a special-order configuration, based on the
"Sold Car" designation (code Y14) on the fender tag, since it's a
base Charger with some premium options. For starters, the 300HP 383
CID V8 with 4BBL carburetor (codes N1E and E65) was not the
standard engine in a base Charger, nor was the Heavy Duty Automatic
Transmission (code D32). It's painted in its original Dark Blue
Metallic (GB7), but the original (white) Vinyl Canopy Roof (V4W) is
no longer present; nor are the original black Accent Stripes (V7X)
or Belt Moldings (M31), but frankly, it presents a nice clean look
without those items. Inside, the original (blue) Luxury Cloth/Vinyl
Bench Seat (D3B5), along with the rear seat, have been recovered in
an attractive white synthetic leather, which adds a nice contrast
to the rest of the blue interior (and the blue exterior). In fact,
we like the looks better than the original seats, and the full
synthetic leather seating is easier to clean than the original
vinyl-trimmed cloth seating. This car was ordered with factory air
conditioning (H51), but the compressor has been replaced with a
modern one, which supports R134a refrigerant. It will need a
coolant recharge to get it blowing ice cold though. An electric
pusher fan has been added in front of the A/C condenser and 26-inch
radiator (code "26" on the fender tag), which aids in cooling for
both components. In addition to those option codes, it was also
ordered with dual exhaust (code N41) and the Noise Reduction
Package (code N97), so someone ordered just what they wanted. This
sleek Charger comes with Power Steering, Power Brakes, and
Seatbelts, and is riding on some chromed Cragar mags that are shod
with modern Radial Tires. If you're a Mopar enthusiast and you want
the full fender tag decoding, call or email us and we'll be happy
to send it to you. This 1971 Dodge Charger's originality, clean
looks, and unique features make it worth a look!
