71 Dodge Challenger Sassy Grass Green Shaker 440 Auto Console Buckets on 2040-cars

BACKSTORY PLEASE READ - I am selling this 1971 Dodge Challenger for a friend. He is having medical problems and can no longer finish this project. He bought the car from Kentucky as a project. The previous owner started restoring the car and lost the VIN. It had a new VIN assigned and was titled as rebuilt. When we cleaned out the car we found the original VIN. I don't know if it can be titled back to the original VIN.

CAR - 1971 Dodge Challenger 318 auto. I believe it was originally light yellow. The interior is black with buckets and a floor console.

BODY - The body is in pretty nice shape for its age. It has minor rust in the usual places. The floors have a few spots. The trunk was the worst and has been removed. It is ready for a new one to be welded in. The doors, fenders and deck lid are in nice shape. A repo rear valance is included. A '70 & a '72 front valance are included. Also included is a fiberglass Shaker hood set up. The engine bay has been cut in with Sassy Grass Green. The base color to complete the paint job is included. All glass is intact and looks decent.

TRIM - The grille & headlight bezels are in really nice shape. The tail lights and argent filler panel are in nice shape too. The windshield & rear window trim and drip moldings look nice. Flip top gas cap also included.

DRIVETRAIN - The car was originally 318 powered, but that motor is long gone. It now has a 440 with a 727 auto and an 8 3/4 differential. (you need driveshaft)

        Engine - '71 440 block w/ steel crank - needs machine work. Includes: Wisco 6 pack pistons (.030); LY rods with ARP rod bolts; 906 heads - have been redone with bronze valve guides and 3 angle valve job - painted w/ POR 15 Hemi orange paint; brand new Comp Cam .501 lift cam; new double roller chain set; Mopar electronic ignition distributor; a Moroso 7 quart pan w/ pick up; an Edelbrock 440 Torker intake; a Barry Grant Demon 850 double pumper - rebuilt with BG metering blocks & a water pump housing with a high volume water pump. (you will need gasket set, rod, main & cam bearings, lifters and pushrods.)

        Transmission - 727 trans has been rebuilt with a performance shift kit & a deep pan with cooling tubes. (I have a stock 11" convertor w/ flex plate - you may want higher stall convertor)

        Differential - B Body 8 3/4 housing. 489 (non posi) carrier w/ 3.23 gears (needs gone through). Also includes 741 carrier w/ 2.93 gears.

SUSPENSION & BRAKES - The front suspension has been rebuilt & converted to disc brakes. The rear brakes have been redone. KYB front shocks and new air shocks in the rear.

INTERIOR - The car has a mostly complete black interior. The dash needs recovered and has a non-R/T cluster. Front door panels are fair. One has a crack. Rear panels look decent. Kick panels are decent. Rear seats are original but still looks decent. The front seats are from a '72 and have been recovered. The floor console is decent. (you will need carpet & console woodgrain decal.)

CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY. I may end this auction at any time. SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WHAT IS. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. CAR IS A GREAT PROJECT.
