Well, after 20 years of sitting in the garage, it's almost done! Thanks to Kohr's Kustoms in PA, she looks stunning! Hope to pick her up in November after I drop my daughter's dragster off for some work at S&W. Hope to see everyone at Carlisle!

Hey Chris! How's it going? Everyone doing well, getting ready to move on to my daughter's race car. I hope to have the 71 out at Carlisle this year, been a long time since I've had something to show. How's my old Hemi car doing? Does it show up anywhere?

That's awesome.

Great timing, I just checked on this 1971 Charger Superbee 440-6 4-speed Mr. Norms car on Sunday.  Sadly missing the original engine, but it is known.

Very nice.  Thanks for sharing.
Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

Hey Doug, what's the build date on your '71? I noticed it has a Go-Wing versus the Gull. My '71 R/T was built August 26th, 1970 so I was wondering.

Hey 69bronzeT5
If I'm reading the data tag right it looks like Sep 14 1970...I have no doubt it is the original wing because I bought this car back in 1980 with this wing. I don't know what factory yours came from, seems some differences based on where the car is built.

Dealer shipping notice. Check out the S.O. No matches the data tag. This was printed on 9/3/70 so it must have spit out of the system when the car was scheduled for production.

Hey Doug!

Thanks for the information! Mine was built at Lynch Road so definitely makes me wonder.

So here are more pictures of the car. Because it is a green interior there was a lot of paint work to do. The lower door panels needed paint along with most of the plastic trim, console, dash and dash pad. Upper door panels and seat covers are repo. Kohr's Kustoms did all the work painting and installing the interior. I think you will agree they did a fantastic job.

This is the original Distributer for a 71 440 sixpack. If you look close at the vacuum advance you will see why. One side of the wires goes to the idle solenoid, the other goes to the batt.

The Brite Tips were an option in 1971. This car didn't have that option. Even though most people would have installed the tips, I chose to stay faithful to factory original and omit them for the down turn pipes. It does give the rear a different look without two tips poking out the bottom of the splash pan...I kinda like it because it's different.

Great thread, one very cool car, hope you're getting plenty of fun summer miles in pedalling that 6 pack 4speed around.
Am hoping to get hold of a 71 R/T or Bee for my next Charger ahead, will see how that plays out.
Feel free to put up a few update pictures if you care to.
Cheers.
