Boy that's a tough choice ... which one has the most usable original trim/interior/bumpers hard to find options still with the car?

71 RR would have more plastic stuff but more available cool options vs the R/T with more metal dash / trim and grill so more likely to be able to repaint vs finding good solid plastic that needs restored

Both floor shift?

I have never owned a 71 up B-Body but I would like to have one if i could have as many cars as I would like and the place to store/$$ to buy and maintain

Can we see some photos?

Gotta go with the '71.

:headbang:67 Coronet R/T 440 one of the most beautiful body styles ever.......

BOY, I'm on the fence on this one. I like the style of both them. Does either one of them have a cool color option? You could do a lot with both of them. If it were me i'd have to take both of them if I had the money. Glad I could help. OK, i'm leaning toward the R/T.

I like both body styles, IMHFO either one would be a good choice, personally I would lean toward the 71 RR, I'm on #13 68-71 RR's now... but there's nothen' wrong with a 67 R/T either, great looken' cars too, one of my favorite... do you have any decent photos ??, which car is more complete ??, which car gets you more excited ??, which car fits you budget better ??, which car needs more money ??, which car needs more work ??, does one car have a nicer more complete interior ??, does either one run or drive ??, that could be a determining factor too.... I highly suggest you do some serious research 1st, see what major parts each car will need, make a list & see what parts are available for both, because some parts availability is a big issue with many Mopars, & they aren't usually cheap either, when you can find them... maybe that will help you decide, which is the more feasible car to get... or just by both...LOL...

These questions MUST be answered before making the next step!!

Well body's better on the R/T,Runner needs some panels,Both need the interiors redone and both need power train.
Power train is the least of my worries.Both need glass work so its a real toss up. Which of the two would hold a better end value.
Haven't seen many R/Ts but plenty of RRs maybe the R/Ts the way to go due to it being the rarer of the two...?

 

[Hemi Rebel]

Do you already have a 71 rr like your handle implies? If so I would go with the 67

 

[71 Meep Meep]

Long since gone.... Just needed a handle so Meep Meep it was.

 

[hemistix66]

67 R/T cuz I rode in one when I was 10yrs old. Never forgot my sexy 4th grade teacher shiftn' gears when she gave that ride home.She always wondered why I got detention LOL!B5 blue/blue interior 440/4spd.

 

[RamNBee]

My 2 cents. Go with the 71. I love 67s and have owned a 67 Coronet. Trim is hard to find and is pricey. The 71 has an advantage because it had more options available from factory, share many parts with E bodies and may be easier to modify if you wish. You can't really go wrong with either one.

[Propwash]

Both cool cars..... Never the less, I'd go with the '71 RR. Gotta love that look of that bandit front end.

I'm voting for the 67 Coronet. I just like the body style better.
