  It finally arrived.
'71 Challenger R/T "tribute/clone".
440 Six Pack, 4 spd, 3.73 Dana 60. Excellent body and paint. Rotisserie build, almost everything new, or replaced. Even the underside body plugs, brake lines, etc. Rallye dash, console, fresh interior (complete). 4 wheel power disc conversion.
To say I'm a little excited.....nervous...🙄, would be an understatement 😅
I know it's not completely "correct", but that's what I was looking for. Something to put "my" finishing touches on.
It started life as a 318 2bbl car.

Thanks all!  :bigthumb:
I bought it through a consignment, but I hope to get in touch with the previous owner.
Whoever did the work was a bit Mopar savvy. The car has a factory 340(?) rear sway bar. Frame mount, with the links attached to the spring perches (I did the same thing, back when I put a Dana under my old Cuda).
Car also came with a dyno sheet from 2018. On a Mustang dyno 358rwhp, 443tq.

I'm honestly not sure on the color, another reason I hope to contact the previous owner. I'm hoping to get the paint code.
It turns our the previous owner is a well respected horse trainer (harness racing) in Michigan. He owned it since '09.

Congrats! That surely looks like the belle of the ball, 318 beginnings be damned! Nice colour and it does, look nicely finished. One caveat though; as you note, it's not a 318 anymore, so don't let your right foot write cheques that your driving experience can't cash, because with over 400 horses, she'll boogy!  :cheers:

Welcome and very nice as non numbers matching drivetrain means you don't have to worry about breaking anything given it is all replaceable!
