Hi, Just jumped back into E Bodies with both feet and purchased this 71 challenger convertible. Not a top notch resto but very presentable. I will get lots of top down time here in Florida. I look forward to asking all kinds of questions

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! How about some details on that beauty? I have a ‘71 vert as well with the original style ‘71 stripes but The ‘70 stripe on yours has always been my favorite on the Challengers.

71 Convertible, Originally a 318 car with PS, PB, Power Top, Auto and A/C. Original Green, White top and Interior. Currently It has a brand new black top on it that I will at some point change back to White. It has (forgive me I didn't do it) a 383 with a six pack and is badged as a 440 six pack. Underneath is rock solid so somebody did this resto from a very nice car. I like the 70 stripe as well, hope I dont get beat up for 70 stripes on a 71 and the 383 thing....LOL

I am a huge fan of the 383 grew up in a Road Runner with a big thermoquad, headers, manual valve body, (really stock engine) line lock and 4.30's. ram 12.57,
in the 1/4 on 60 series tires.

Nice Challenger convertible.
Always liked the 383 bb engines.
Own a 70 convertible myself; you live in the right place to enjoy the car year round!

I will have to try and dig out some old pictures, Had a light blue 71 convertible, I didn't know it at the time but it had a 72 grill. Sold it in 1980/81

Welcome aboard. I used to have a '70 Convert. I now have a S/E '70 I'm north of you in Weeki Wachee. BTW I was born and grew up in Cape May. Small world.
