I just recently drug home a 71 r/t challenger, FE5 340 3-speed manual. The car has rust in driver floor, trunk floor, and inner front fenders. The original engine and trans are gone but I was given a correct 340 and 3-speed. The car is somewhat complete but most parts need restored to do any kind of decent resto. My question is about the value and what the 3-speed adds or detracts from the overall value. It has a nice build sheet and the sheet shows it should have painted wheels and the dog-dish. When I told a friend of the 3-speed he said only 40 were built this way and maybe just a few were red. If I go on with the rest it will get a 4-speed. Any thoughts?
need some help on "what's it worth" 71 r/t

I believe there is a thread on here that gives the value on the cars. Do a search on car values.

Post pics of the car. It will help determine the value.

Looked it up in GGs book and it shows only 34 built with the 3 speed. That's pretty rare, unfortunately I don't think that the 3 speed option no matter how rare will make it worth more to most. I think it's pretty kool though and would love to see some pics also. Really can't even guesstimate a cars value without seeing a few pics at least.
That's kinda what I was looking for. Sometimes rare doesn't mean desirable. I will get some pics but it is buried in the shop now. I guess body color wheels are almost nonexistent in '71 also. Thanks Matt
