For Sale: 1971 Dodge Challenger in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Vehicle Description

This 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Tribute screams power in its Citron Yella paint, a rare Mopar High Impact color originally exclusive to '71 models. Black R/T stripes and a rear wing slice through the vibrant hue, creating a bold contrast that exemplifies muscle car aesthetics. The car's aggressive stance is enhanced by 17" Boyd Coddington wheels wrapped in Fuzion rubber - 245/45R17 up front and 255/50R17 in the rear. This Challenger's exterior modifications, including the custom color and full R/T appearance package, transform it from its original 318 roots into a formidable street machine that pays homage to Mopar's golden era of performance.

Inside, the cabin's black vinyl bucket seats sport custom yellow inserts, echoing the exterior's high-impact theme. The factory-correct console houses crisp, clear gauges that complement the refreshed dash layout. Momo pedals add a touch of racing flair, while the steering wheel, repainted to match the interior scheme, ties the look together. Modern comforts haven't been overlooked - an AM/FM CD player provides the soundtrack, and R134A air conditioning keeps the cabin cool during spirited drives. The headliner and overall interior condition reflect the thoughtful care invested in this Challenger's build.

Lifting the hood reveals a 440 V8 powerhouse that's been built to impress. The engine bay is a showcase of performance parts: Mopar aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and a Proform 850 CFM carburetor form the core of this potent powerplant. A Lunati roller cam with new timing set, lifters, and PRW roller rockers optimize the valve train, while TTI ceramic-coated headers feed into a full stainless MagnaFlow exhaust system for an aggressive note. The A727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission and 8 3/4 rear end with 3.55 posi-traction ensure that power is put to the pavement effectively. Baer power disc brakes at all four corners provide confident stopping power, while the upgraded suspension, including subframe connectors, enhances handling and rigidity.
