    Wow what a super stunner that 71 is in Plum Crazy purple as well. Can't say enough about how badass classic Mopars look sound and feel amazing I had the privilege of riding around in my buddies 1973 Plymouth Satellite in midnight metallic blue with the 440 six pack under the hood and man was it a nice ride obviously not as nice as this 71 challenger but a kick ass car as well I absolutely love Mopars I always have, I always will thanks for another awesome video featuring an awesome vehicle Sam

      Thats awesome Dale, thanks for sharing that. Sure could have. Standard engine was the 300HP 383, you could get a 340, 440 or of course a 426 Hemi in the R/T model. 383 was standard. Interesting to me the 340 was optional and rated at 25 horsepower less than the standard engine.

    When I was in high school a close family friend of ours owned both a Superbird (orange 440 6 Barrel) and a '71 Challenger ragtop in Plum Crazy with white top and interior, with a 440 6 Pack and Four Speed. The E-body was made over into an R/T phantom/clone as there was no Challenger R/T convertible in 1971 for whatever corporate reason. Maybe not enough had been sold in 1970 to make it worthwhile for Mother Mopar to continue the option. Both cars are long since sold. The 'Bird went to New Jersey and then we learned later on it was sold to someone in New Zealand!! I believe it remains in good Kiwi hands to this day. As for the Challenger, no idea where she resides now.

      Today, if I see a car like this incorporating to traffic, with the aggressive looks, the mean tires, the deep rumble… for sure I would get out of the way in sign of respect… and fear too!

    the boyfriend had one in highschool...he bought it from its first owner who lived in Detroit...
    The car was fabulous
    One day we were about 2 miles out of town near east Lansing and we were pulled over by like 20 cop cars ..they ordered us out of the car at gun point demanding to look in the trunk....
    It seemed they were looking for the previous owner and whatever it was he used to have in his trunk..
    It was fast, alright but we weren't speeding that day
    we didn't really run that kind of fast in Okemos but our parents always said Detroit was a jungle
    wonder what ever happened to that guy..the first owner..
    and I wonder what he kept in that trunk

      I would hope that my footage would relay the quality of the car, that is always the goal. The car was sold & is in a private collection. Its one of the finest Mopars I've inspected, out of over 100. As far as "flippers", I have respect for anyone running an honest business dealing with classic cars, its far from easy. We are all working with what we love to do, what it boils down to for most in the classic car industry, myself certainly. I appreciate you watching the Samspace81 classic car channel.
