It would be a weird thing to "add"  :huh:

Ive seen many for sale over the years.

I've got another pic of one on the tag somewhere. Also N-code JH car...rally gauge, EL5, column shift.

Here's another one with it on the tag (he lists the tag decide): http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/57834/help-with-71-challenger-options-a78-formal-roof.html

I agree that matching #'s will help the price. I agree with Alan's $15k ballpark though, the colour and engine option help it a lot and it looks to be a solid Co. car. I guess A78 is a sheet only code?

I was wondering about the A78 too :thinking:

It's on the tag

Plug has been added.

Here it is on a tag on another car



possible difference in production dates? that tag is an early '71 build, the one I posted is towards the end of the '71 production run. maybe they had stopped using it?? don't know. he said it was in the car when he got it (pre-body and paint work)

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came


6bblgt

options & accessories are added and removed from cars over their 45+ years being kicked around

it has been added - not an original A78 "formal roof car

fender tag would also have C26 for the overhead console if they were original

excellent info!! so it sounds like it is a standard (non-SE, non-RT) 383/auto based on the tag data

correct  -  roughly 1 of 412  -  1971 Challengers with 383HP 4bbl & automatic

Winchester grey.  Absolutely love the color.   It's vintage yet incredibly modern.

Is he going to list the car here Ec co?

It is currently available 100%, I'm just running it past a couple locals first (quick/easy) and I'll probably post the rest of the details in for sale early next week. IMO it is a good project priced nicely to move

I'm heading over there this weekend to try and verify if matching #s or not + get a video. once I get those pics, I'll put an official 'for sale' post up + it will go to craigslist (no fleabay at this time). current price before knowing if matching #s is $14k firm to my e-bodies crew (craigslist will start at $18k to account for haggling). if you like the price and matching #s isn't a concern, call me sooner 720-592-8740 - Cole. if we verify matching #s he'll want a another grand or two on top.

all parts he has will go with it, including the TA spoiler and other misc parts (some are dupes like the seats, some probably don't belong to this car like the spoiler) + his project book with pics and receipts. he says he has @ $30k into it including original cost of the vehicle.

Looks like an excellent start to a project. I didn't know not all 383 4bbl cars weren't R/Ts, interesting! In hindsight I wished I would have saved a bit more and got a more "complete" project like this one. Looks great and one of the more desirable factory colors too! Sucks he has $30k invested and is going to get only half of that back!

 :iagree:

Yet he is not the only one to get 1/2.  I would be in that camp too as are many others....so I suspect.

I'm like this project a lot.  Good luck.

I think with an unfinished project you end up losing out more so than a finished one. I haven't done the math yet on my own project. I know I'd be out money too once done, but I have no intention of selling so it doesn't matter to me lol.

Love GA4 ... it's almost chameleon like in how it sometimes looks gray and other times looks blue.

What's with the right front corner of the car "drooping" down so low?? Torsion bar backed off or removed?? Just as long as the torsion bar socket in the crossmember isn't somehow dorked up, it looks pretty decent.
Cheers!
