Nice!!   Can't wait to see some details about the car. 

[IMNCARN82]

Well... you're right on with the price.  For me.  35K. 36K.  That's it.  It's been repainted. Old paint is "checking".  Small cracks.  Rust. But not too bad. Original engine/trans.
Great starting point for me.  Considering no roof replacement needed...
Frames are solid and straight. Newer exhaust,W/P,starter.... Ect. 

Drives good. Solid.  Doors are great! Great glass and interior.  Very complete. Trunk floor and cowl are good.  Trunk returns are great!

Just minor damage to the front valance.  And rear bumper. Grille is perfect.

Don't get me wrong.  There's a lot of work. But I'm ok at 35K. 

What do u guys think ?

[RUNCHARGER]

Yup $35k is the right price and clean up what's there so you (I think your wife actually by the smile on her face) can drive and enjoy it. If you want a perfectly painted/restore beauty it'll cost tons to bring it up to that level although all the parts are there (well mostly anyway). The only way it's worth making a showcar (and they aren't really drivable) is if you're capable of doing the paint and body yourself and don't put cash value on your hours.

That baby is sweet!
Fix those couple little rust areas and clean the hell outta that car and it'll be a great car!!

Does it retain it's broadcast sheet? 
Perhaps it still has it's window sticker or order form?
Any other factory documentation?

[IMNCARN82]

Has original bill of sale. I would love to have it.  I'd save it.  My plan would be to pull the original engine. Shoot the bay. Get a good 383/440 with efi 4 barrel.  Then drive it and fix it down low. Save money. Then go for paint.  Leave the top,glass,trim...  add power discs.  15x10" wheels out back. Tires. Full Hotchkis level 2. Oh I'm dreamn. But u get the idea. 

I am fully capable of show paint. And anything on this car no problem.

Well here it is on BAT 
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-dodge-challenger-r-t-2/
Interesting looking at the pictures, this car has a SBD 3 days before my 71 V code Challenger, and a lower VIN #.  Its door sticker says 11-70 and my sticker is 10-70.
I know SBDs and actual build dates are often not the same, but I wonder why this one ended up being in November.

"The car's title lists the VIN as J523N1B192900, whereas its actual chassis number is JS23N1B192900."

That seems like a problem!!

Bid up to 4k so far....

[JH27N0B]

10K now, but with 6 days to go, we're a long way from seeing how high the bidding will go on this car on BAT.
I'm watching it to see how much excitement a '71 gets.  I have been trying to sell my '71 V code Challenger off and on for a number of years with little attention given to it by potential buyers, which has been frustrating and baffling to me. I've toyed with the idea of running it on BAT to see if that site gets it some real interest.
The commenters on the auction think its a survivor, but from this thread I got the idea it's been repainted. Does a car qualify as a survivor if repainted?
