My dad bought a dodge challenger 70 for around 6 years ago. It look'd a bit like yours but worse and more rust... Today its Swedens coolest custom car.
Wow, this is really amazing. I want to be able to restore a car one day. My dad had a '71 Challenger as his first car, he saved up his money from his paper route and from busing tables at a country club and paid for it used with cash. Keep it up! I would like to see more restoration videos!
Keep up the good, and NEVER give up! You have an excellant project there, we all would love to see progress vids as you contiue with it. The very best to you and your car.
i wish i kept my 65 and 66 mustang coup projects....but we dont have a shop...just a single car port with my dads 68 cougar under it plus i live in the pacific north west where it rains constantly and im 4 month from my licence so about a year ago i traded em both for a 95 mustang gt...oh well when i get another job i will buy another hopefully and have something to wrench on in my spare time
pretty nice, i just got done restoring a 68 charger i pulled out of a pond. it was in the pond for about 10 years, pulled it out and it looked good except the quarter pannels were rusted thru and alot of surface rust. but keep up the restoration videos man!
@philipanselmmo could you tell me how much would it cost? i want to buy a 1968 charger rear quarter panels are rusted thru and the only thing that has a lot of surface rust is the vinyl roof... and the floor has rust in it and no engine the body looks solid. besides the rear quarter panels it almost has no rust... is 4000$ worth it ? please reply i really want to know . Thanks! i could send you a picture if you want.
@derick4767 Check the frame before you do anything. 68's are a rare piece, and $4000 for a solid body and frame isn't a bad price, but try talking the guy down a little.
If you're doing a serious resto, 4k is only the beginning - but if you just want a driver and you're doing most of the work yourself, the biggest investment will be all the hours required and finding an engine/tranny. Check the donor yards, they often have old 727's and wedges for little $.
how much did you pay for your challenger if you dont mind me asking, I just bought my 1971 charger project car, in I'd say a little bit better condition than yours for 1300.00. It has 440 and a 727 trans
@fordmuscle429 3000 for the Challenger, but the Challenger does not compare in anyway to a 71 Charger, but if I had to buy a 71+ Charger I would choose the 71 hands down, plus having a 440 is a nice bonus.
@sprprops 3000 for a challenger? around here you can buy a challenger shell for around 9-10 thousand when the planets align and the find a 4 leaf clover....
@fordmuscle429 man there is no way i would pay 3000 for that challenger... regardless of year and motor installed... that car was way to rusted and the fact that it didnt run was way to expensive for 3k...
@SlayNfillet360 Yeah i can understand your reasoning, one plus of that car though was it looked like the fenders and quarters were in good shape. At least good enough shape to not need new ones (but i cant say that for sure unless seeing it in person lol). But it is an R/T which to me is a huge bonus, ive seen R/T's worse than that with price tags of like 6k lol. I think he got a GOOD deal not a GREAT one, kind of the same deal i got with my charger
I say go for it dude! Lots of rust there, but if you got the money to fix her up? you would have a sweet ass ride! But, if you have the money? Just go out and buy one. There are deals on Challengers, if you look. I stole a 1973, 340 in 09!!! Best move i ever made.!
@kingofcars101 why am i not surprised that you dont have a car ? hmm cause its easy to talk shit about someones elses car when you dont no what they cost or are worth
@DIMEBAGJIMMY426 umm acually im getting a car... its a 1966 pontiac gto star chief executive... its got interior and a motor! it also runs, i drove it today
@kingofcars101 HA ! dont add gto to the name to try and make it sound like a good car cause you dont have a gto you got a big slow boat that isent worth shit, you call this challenger a piece of shit and to rebuttle you come back with you getting a real piece of shit im not impressed, your probebly full of shit anyway
@kingofcars101 you said star chief executive its a pontiac but FAR from a goat, but if lieing helps you sleep at night ill go along with you, im buying a hemi charger a hemi cuda and a hemi challenger tomorrow aswell o maybe ill buy a few superbirds too idk it depends on my mood, HA !!
@kingofcars101 thank you for proveing my theory that you was just a kid talking nonsense, you should change your name you dont know dick about cars unless your going for a ironic name like a fat guy named tiny, as for the me getting ass raped in jail not likely to happen im very smart about my questionable activities, this wouldent of happened if you hadent called this mopar a piece of shit now you look stupid for all the youtubers you so despritly want to impress, have a great day
@kingofcars101 that is what we call a "project car" you idiot. what do you think after 39 yrs of being driven and then sitting its gunna be rust free? if you look at cars like that and make comments like that was well, you shouldn't even be allowed to be near a muscle car.
Looking good. Original B5? or is that plumb or just plumb crazy parts? it looks like B5. A B5 340 71 Chally is a great optioned car. $ speed would of been nice but the auto will be fine. I Dont know why that one guys said make it a 440 clone, keep it a 340 id say if its original 340 car. Cant wait to see pics of it done, keep at it.
The 340 was available for the R/T in 1971 so it would be correct to have a 340 in an R/T. This doesn't matter anyway because I have a 383 out of a Road Runner that is going into it.
good i think the 383s need more credit haha i have a 70 thats pretty bad weve done the roof and the floors and the windsheild frame(i dont know what its called) and im gettin a 71 coronet 4 door that im gonna use for parts its a factory 383 and the guys been building it up so thatll be sweet....pretty good for a 16 year old tryin to get away with a cool car for cheap. so far ive put maybe 5k including both cars so not to shabby
id say keep it a 340. Be worth more if it were #s matching. Youve got a very nicely optioned challenger, I would keep it as close to original as i could but do what you want with it, its your challenger.
a challenger r/t comes with a 383 or 440 i jus wanted to let you know before u put that 340, cause i have 3 of them so if you want it to be worth more clone it with a 440 or 440 6pack.
Mopars are the most expensive cars to buy as projects and the parts are extremely expensive. Mustang coupes and early camaros seem to be cheaper. Do your homework before you buy and get it as cheap as you can.
@sprprops I know this is sorta late but, hell to the no are Camaro's cheaper. For a disgusting rat-infested shell, you're lookin at like $5k, if not, EASILY higher. Mustangs are getting there.
@sprprops how much did you pay for your challenger if you don't mind me asking, I just bought my 1971 charger project car, in I'd say a little bit better condition body wise than yours for 1300.00. It has 440 and a 727 trans
@adfasdfasdfluy you can get a good Mustang coupe body for like a grand, add 4000 dollars and a hundred or so hours and you have a nice driver. More money and time and you'd have a great show car. That is about as cheap a "muscle/pony" car you are likely to find.
um, that aint NO r/t with an argent grille and tailpanel. Plus no quarter stock fake scoops. How do I know ? I own 3 1971 Challengers. One R/T 4 spd 383 mag, one vert, and one deputy coupe. Look that one up !
I would never let a 16 year old drive this nice of a car. Wait until you're 21 when you get experience in driving. between 16-21, drive a crap car because accidents are inevitable.
man that thing looked pretty rotted, it will look great once it's done though. are you going to restore it to original or are you going to drag race it or resto mod it? great video and I glad to see some of these cars are being saved.[btw, what color are you going to paint it?]
good for you man~
