That's a 71.
Is that U.S. dollars?

[71bigblock]

I believe its a '70, but not an R/T. "JH"

And what is a "legal clone project"? Sounds like a start to an "illegal" project to me. Please post the first 7 digits of the vin, that sure as heck wont hurt anything.

[sleepychallenger]

gotta be a 71. no place for the 70 reverse lamp

[71bigblock]

But then why does he decode the vin as a '70? Hmmm....

[Moparkid1965]

Yes us dollars . I will post more of vin later tonight. i ahve heard of people taking the vins off of cars & going to state And applying to revin a wrecked car. There are many of revined cars. Or if you have a time % money you could restore the car.

Should be JS if it is a true R/T car,,,,,,

[four40cuda]

from the single picture looks very rough, do you have any more pics that you can post? How are the frame rails?

[moparal]

it needs a decklid and a rear window. maybe some clean up

[thedodgeboys]

I am not even sure that’s a parts car. :D

[Moparkid1965]

It is hurting but is a 340 car

[340RT]

340 3spd non R/T may be rare,I need to look it up may be worth tryin'to save.Will need $$$ and lots of work.

[Cuda Hunter]

Seriously, Any more pics?

[Moparkid1965]

Here are a few more pics

[burntorange70]

Where is the car located at.

Sorry if you put that up all ready but I did not see it.

[Moparkid1965]

The car is in NJ

[joesnow]

From what I know(very little sometimes) there was not a 340 "R/T" available in '70 only '71 on. 340's were made just not called "R/T"

[shadango]

Those pictures hurt.

How can anyone leave a beautiful car like a challenger sit and get to that kind of shape....sitting in a heap of junk....

I guess everything gets that way eventually though.....

Painful to see. :(

[lowdeckdart]

u all need 2 back off the poor kid. yea,the car is rough but i fixed much worse. if u dont have anything nice 2 say than shut your face! it makes me wonder if i shoulda even signed up 2 be a member if this is how u treat other members.

you all should be ashamed of yourselfs! yea,the car is rough but i have fixed much worse. if u dont have anything nice 2 say than shut your face! iam not sure i shoulda even became a member if this is how u treat others!

At least in 1970, there was an A66 (340 Performance Package). I owned one several years ago and wish to this day that I never sold it. It is currently owned by a friend of mine in Illinois and have the first right of refusal if he ever decides to sell it. Fingers crossed.

Some just really like to jump on things like this (and then the pack mentality kicks in). :eek:

[shadango]

This is a pretty old thread....Wonder if it has sold?

[GTXperience]

A quick email to the owner might answer that.

Now thats just crazy talk. :D

[res1vw21]

"This is a pretty old thread....Wonder if it has sold?"

I know I have a keen grasp of the obvious!

[knickerbocker57]

You saying it'll buff right out?

[moparal]

LOL dont think so, but im sure it being a 340 car, someone will want to take that job on

Hey Want this thing GONE $1000

[teslasbrain]

FYI this is a 71 non-RT 340 Car. An RT would be a JS23 versus a JH23, which is a standard Challenger. In 1970 you could only get a 340 Challenger with the A66 package, which had all the RT bits, but was NOT an RT.

By the way they only made 41 of these JH cars in 1971 with a 3 speed.

Nope, sorry. I got this off of cuda-challenger.com. I believe the original source was one of Galen Govier books.

[grassy]

...but if it doesn't have a fender tag nor the engine, it it worth trying to fix....I hav edone really rusty ones before but the car meant a lot to me..wow..
