71 Challenger

[EV2-70]

I started this project in September of 2015. This is been a full rotisserie restoration. It is now painted in Curious yellow and has the vinyl roof installed. It is an original 383 4 Barrel 4 speed car which is now going to have a stroked 383 (437), with a Hemi overdrive 4-speed and a b-body Dana 60 rear end. My goal is to have this finished in 5 months and on the road. Wish me luck.

Nice! You better have some sunglasses to look at that car in the bright sunshine.

Very nice Challenger! I have the twin to yours, also a 383 4-spd R/T. Good luck in finishing it up 5 months. Mine took waaaaay longer, like years. BTW, you need to call it Citron Yella for the Dodge GY3 color.

Mine is,or was The last production date car in 1971 it was made on Friday July 9th. According to documents I have read, the second Friday in July is when they shut down production for the prior year and then retool for the next year. They threw everything at it as far as options A78 formal roof package the bright work package front fender mounted turn signals etc. I did not have the R/T SE back window plug so I did not install that, along with the formed headliner. I just made it into a regular R/T clone. It is a JH Vin car but a (N) code 4 speed. 1 of 107 made. 1 of 229 A78 optioned cars.
