New Member - My Nor Cal 71' B5 Challenger

[Kuuner]

Been absent for a while...working on a different vehicle now (57 Big Window Chevy).

So, i checked cowl and radiator support numbers, and they match the title, which says its a 71'. I've concluded its just a frankenstein someone pieced back together with a combination of 72 and 71 stuff. Never had a fender tag. Did find an upholstery tag under rear seat but it didn't have build specs on what the vehicle was.

in the last year, it's been an up and down rollercoaster on this E-Body. I spent a REALLY good amount of money rebuilding the 318 (Don't ask me why...still can't make anything up that makes any sense) and now i'm going through a quart of oil every half tank. Rings are shot no doubt (I had the top rebuilt; cam, heads, etc.). I'm on my 3rd intake manifold and all cause a pooling of oil in the valley of the manifold.

Last week got the wet carpet in passenger side treatment so, sheet, now will have to take the heater box out and have the core rebuilt.

Hoping this winter i get the strength (and money) to pull the 318 out and put a 408 crate in her...hoping.

 From one new NorCal (Manteca) member to another, Welcome!
Really like the color, in pics it looks similar to Corvette Electron Blue. Looks great. 👍
