If thats your dream car, that seems like a great car for the price   , every old dodge needs a trunk pan, and any old car could use a driver side floor pan.

[Moparsaver]

That's the one Tantop.   Thank you for the help.   it is most appreciated.    Baldwin, yes I have been looking for a few years to find the right one.   I respect all of you as very knowledgeable people and hope you can help me access This one.   Thanks to all.   -Tom

are those pics of the same car ?

Wonder how long it has spent it's life on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean? I would look that one over real close for any hidden rust. I live just north of Portsmouth 

[Moparsaver]

The pics are of the same car.   Story goes 1 maybe 2 owner car that spent most of its life in Illinois. The blue picture is when the seller got the car approx 2 years ago and the craigslist pictures are of the car as it is presently.  I intend on giving the car a good look over in person if/when I go check it out.  Hell, maybe I'll pick you up on the way?  I'm only a little south of you in Framingham Ma.     Seller said the body numbers match.   Where exactly on that car are they?

That could be a beautiful car! B5, 4BBL automatic with console,Stripe delete..... same as mine. Price doesn't seem unreasonable. I'd let him keep the six-pack and 4 speed. I wouldn't change it up if it's got all the pieces it was born with.

Body numbers will be on the radiator core support, cowl add on piece above the wiper motor, fender tag, driver's door back edge (sticker) and VIN plate on dash. Some will say on the trunk lip, but i've never yet seen a '71 with one there.

A drivers floor pan will be about $70. A Quarter (if available) about $550 and the full trunk floor will be about $325. (all AMD)

[Moparsaver]

thanks R/T, my  thoughts exactly.  Unless we strike a magic number for everything of coarse.  Any chance you would have pics of exactly where to look for the radiator support and cowl numbers?  If anyone else wants to chime in on the trunk lip number location, that would be great.   Everything else seems a match, unless I'm missing something else?   Thanks -Tom

For whatever reason, my Safari isn't playing well with my photobucket. I am not able to post pictures on here due to that. If you PM me on here or just email me at 71chargerrt@gmail.com  and give me your email address, I can attach photos in an email that will depict where the cowl and radiator core support VIN stampings are.

Moparsaver, welcome aboard. 

Looks like a good starting point. Hope all goes well if you end up getting that '71.

 

[polywideblock]

Thanks poly.        That is one fine looking gb5 71 u have there.   

thanks

I think if the special stuff is there like the doors, hood insert, tail lights it's a steal if it's as advertised, matching #'s rebuilt etc.

Looks good to me. I'd buy it if I had the funds. LEON.

Go get that beast!   

[Moparsaver]

Thank you all for the input.  So far, the feedback seems positive.   Are there any known problem areas on the underside to look for?   The Car seems very complete.    The original jack is still mounted in the trunk also.  Thanks, -Tom

The usual for a mopar this age really. You'll find rust in the trunk and likely floor pans here and there. Worst usually around the pedals. Also the rear quarters behind the wheels. All we can ask for these days is having a car with solid frame rails and rockers. Just look everywhere you can and ask the seller if you can tap the metal here and there. Check below the lower door hinge, under the battery (usually rot from acid leaks), around the front and rear windshield. You'll be able to tell quickly if it's a basket case or not. These cars don't hide anything.

[Moparsaver]

Thanks Dino.     I will make it a point to look over those areas carefully. 

[Dino]

You're welcome!

Good luck and here's hoping for a positive outcome!   

[darbgnik]

Good luck! Looks promising.
