1971 Dodge Challenger R/T By Randall Chet

This is my Mopar:

Here's a Mopar for you. I've owned this 71 Challenger R/T for 9 years now. I am the third owner and have restored (restified ?) it from a rolling shell. The car is an original 383 4 speed FC7 car, but since the numbers matching engine was out of the car (it's in my garage now) I decided to make it a 440-6 clone. Right now it is powered by a .030 over 1971 casting 440 with Ross pistons, Hughes cam, Crane rockers, ported 906's, and of course the six pack carbs. 4-speed is the original 23 spline unit and has a 3.55 geared 8 3/4 with Sure Grip. It has an original gull-wing spoiler. The car currently has 111,000 miles and is of course a blast to drive.

Thanks, I've enjoyed your site,
