Howdy and welcome from Colorado!

Does your 71 have the heater delete option?

This is a heater delete car which looks like it has all the parts for it.

Originally car was white with a 318 automatic barracuda, fender/hood/rear valence were changed before I got the car, currently has a 71 'Cuda 340 original 85k miles, 727, 8-3/4.   Still working on a '67 426 Hemi engine with dual EFI and hydraulic roller. 4 speed and 4.10 Dana. Nothing special with this car, just a nice driver to have fun with!

Also have an original 71' Barracuda in green ...with rust with 318 auto and heater delete. This is a project that is just sitting, still figuring out if I should repair the rust or just drive it as is. Picked up these two cars within the last 2 years. Started with the engine first then both came along.

Nice. What did you do for your 426 power steering? Did you use the original Federal pump? I can't tell from the picture.

Yes, it is a federal pump. That was a project in itself. I don't know much about the Mopar stuff and even what I was supposed be be looking for and what it even looks like, or that there was a difference to be fun with. Thanks to forums like e-bodies helped with this. So I ended up with a reman pump and body, repro brackets that needed modifying, original cap off eBay, hoses still to be determined since I am going with a Borgeson box. I see hose that fit for the Saginaw, but none for the Borgeson to Federal. So far I just got black -AN fittings and black PTFE hoses.

I see hose hits for the Saginaw, but none for the Borgeson to Federal. So far I just got black -AN fittings and black PRFE hoses.

I went with an original Federal pump for my car and soon found out that the hoses were not available. I had to modify a hode to make it fit. Sounds like you wont run into that exact issue though since you're using a different box.

Not one, but two '71's ... and in Hawaii no less!! Lucky guy!!  :twothumbsup:

I lived in Mililani for years and I think I saw one or two clapped out E-bodies the whole time I lived there!! Looks like you have more garage space than a lot of the homes do. Where you stay Minagenral??

Thank you, I never planned on two but since they are so few and far between here when the opportunity came up, why not it's a '71 and fairly original. I am in Honolulu, Oahu and the cars are at a work garage.

About 20 years ago a friend of mine bought a red on red 70, RT, 440 Challenger that was in Seattle, but was formerly in Hawaii and also had a heater delete.

Also, my cousin was stationed in Hawaii for the Marines in the late 70s and early 80s, and he had a 70 SE R/T 383 challenger. I remember seeing pictures of it parked on the beach.
