About this Mopar:
This 71 car was built as a father son project. The father had owned a brand new 71 RT back in the day and wanted another one. So, not wanting to pay for an RT, they bought a charger SE out of North Florida, and did a complete frame off restoration. They rebuilt almost everything using new RT parts. The gill doors where too expensive so they left them off the list of parts (damn it). Just before the car was complete, the Dad unexpectedly died. So I bought the car from the son.
This car is my street bruiser I never had in High School (my mom made me save my money to pay for college and I drove a beater 66 Dodge Polara 4 door instead).
It has a rebuilt 440 with Edelbrock RPM heads, intake, and 850 carb. It breaths thru a set of 1 7/8 inch headers into a 3 inch exhaust and a set of 40 series flowmaster mufflers. It sounds bad, just like a big block should! We estimate it is making around 450 HP. This past winter I replaced the 727 with a TkO 600 manual 5 speed and hydraulic clutch. I finally have the Mopar with a stick shift that have always dreamed about.
It is brutally raw on the street. I just love it. It is a muscle car in every way - sight, sound, smell, and feel.
