that is one low-optioned 'vert.

Decent price if the trunk is decent and minimal bondo and rust.

No mention of #s matching drivetrain.

[ragtopdodge]

Correction, does state #s matching (why can't I modify my post?), but no pics verifying that.

I know this car and the owner.  It's very nice but has  a couple of wrong things on it.  Still, for a 383 4 spd it's a good buy

[king dragon]

Can you share some the "wrongs" on the car. I'm realy interested and would like to know before I get too emotionally into it. Would this car have a bulge hood? J54? It's not coded for it.

Are the black front kick panels correct with the white interior?

[king dragon]

I have a 383 HP B7 blue 71 convertible that has been apart for decades. It's coded for the Bulge hood on the fender tag but I wasn't sure if a 71 Challenger was a 383 HP if it automatically came with the hood. Is it the general consensus Baptist red car here being it's not coded on the fender tag left the factory with a flat Hood? This car really appeals to me because I can get in and drive it and not have to wait another five years four mine to get restored.

[erik70rt]

The hood was added.  It has the notch for the '72 fender on the right side, so I would check to see if it was replaced (I think it was).  The stripes, mirror and wheels have been added.  The hood has a small cutout on the underside on the hood on the right side rear for some odd reason - not sure why.  Drives really nice and sounds good.  I tried to buy it a few years ago, but the owner at that time wouldn't sell.  It was owned by the same person from whom I bought my R/T SE.

Are the black front kick panels correct with the white interior?

Yes. White kick panels were never offered on an E-body.

Why was the hood, tips and gas cap not available?

[scf100]

LOOKS like a nice car to me.....I would not worry about the items mentioned as being added, to me they make the car better........

[6bblgt]

hood - not available
exhaust tips - not available
the hood (J54) & tips (N42) were never a stand-alone orderable OPTION
- J54 was included with R/T ('70-'71), RALLYE ('72-'74), 340 ('70-'73) and 360 ('74) cars
- N42 was included with the above cars with the exception of 318 RALLYE cars ('72-'74)

flip-top gas cap - not available
these were discontinued during the 1971 model year

[6bblgt]

.....  It has the notch for the '72 fender on the right side, .....

that fender is what should be there by June of '71 - the notched fenders started showing up on production cars spring of '71
