Other than the mods you mentioned any other plans?

Welcome as well.


Hi Greenpigs.  Yes I would like to do a mild .030 rebuild with flat tops, cam, clean up the heads, a stall, and dana.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.  I am soooo stoked about this car.  Actually '69's are my all time fav, but I could not pass this one up.  Looking real forward to making it the way I want it.  Yes I will post more pics for sure.  Been surfing through the threads here and damn there are some nice rides, and alot of good info here.  Brava to you all!

Welcome! love the 3rd gens.  Where are you from?

Hey Husk.  I am in upstate NY.  Saratoga region.  Charger came from Arkansas.

Thanks again everyone.
welcome to the site, I bet your car came out of the Malvern area of Arkansas if its the one im thinking of it is a really nice car, and there is a red 340 ralllye about a block away from where yours came from, also several 66-68 chargers just a few miles out of town.


Yep.

Haha, I was hoping no one would say that, as I am on the fence still myself about some of the cosmetic changes.  My brother agrees with you.  He likes the big block sleeper look.  We'll see, I am still mulling it all over.

well, I meant that because actually it looks harder to find a car on that condition than modified or restored.

I can understand the need to get a toy to PLAY with it working on it but this one is ( at least to me ) a toy to keep it like this



on a bookshelf ;) LOL

Real nice car. The mods you mentioned should not do any harm except a few small holes in the deck lid. I would go for it. It will look good. I would allmost go as far as making a super B clone.

Thanks bro.  Actually they were just something my brother had lying around the garage.  But I like the styling, and they cleaned up nice and should look real good once I get to spraying the drums black.  The tires were on the rims, are just stand ins for now till I get my new ones.

Snow is a melting...finally.  Pretty soon be taking it to the streets.

Sweet ride! My first Charger was a 71 SE 383 Mag/4 SPD, wish I would have held on to her!

Welcome to the site and enjoy!

I know some of you don't approve of this look on a 3rd Gen, but I love it, and given the limited striping options available for a '71, and the fact I didn't want to look like I was cloning, I am very happy with it and think it looks bad ass.  Only the hood to go now, and then to work under the hood.

Im one the ones that usually dont like that look on the 3rd generation. Your car pulls it off though,The width and the spioler make it happen I think. Looks Great!!!

Thanks 1HD.  I used a kit designed for a Dodge Ram truck with tonneu cover.  It's a full 12 inches from pin to pin, rather than the usual 8.5 to 10 in.  It looks really sharp in person, and I agree, together,with the stripe, the wing looks less like a stuck on afterthought.

Ok,

Didn't get out of the shop til midnight, still have some tweak and trim work to go, and couldn't take any proper pics yet, but so pumped up I had to post what I have.  All mods stated in original post have come to pass.  I couldn't be happier:

A '71 Charger with Attitude!
