1971 Dodge Challenger - 318 car now has a C-body 318 with 340 heads and a 727. A/C PS PB with front discs. Originally B5 Blue with B5 interior and unknown color vinyl top and body side mouldings, plus it is originally an M28 optioned car with the rare wide hood mouldings (which are still with the car). After it was new it was hit hard in the drivers quarter panel and that was replaced and the car was repainted. Sometime in the 1980's the vinyl body side mouldings were removed, the car was painted Plum Crazy with white 71 R/T stripes, the interior was changed to black from a donor 70 SE, and a R/T hood from a later year rallye challenger was added. In the late 80s early 90s the car was hit again on the passenger side all the way down the side of the car. The previous owner then decided to park it and start a restomod restoration. It hasn't been run since 1991. I bought it my sophomore year in high school which was in 2007. A full restoration has been started to try to make it a very nice daily driver. A 440 or 383 could be in its future........

It's had a hard life hasn't it?

It will be great to see it looking at its best again. Keep us posted on developments.

Cool Project! It looks pretty solid given it's past history. It will look terrific again someday.

What color will you be painting it? Back to B5, Plum Crazy, or something totally different?

I am not completely sure on the color yet, I really like both and I am leaning more to putting it back to original.
