Honestly, even without any floors, that thing is worth saving! It’s rare to find an unrestored Challenger nowadays

They actually make replacement floor and trunk panels so this car could realistically be restored and put back on the road.

[@lisam4503]

I wish they had shown underneath at the sub frames. Any more you can even buy them if rusted out. I honestly don't think these kids understood the true value of that car. just in parts values you could probably buy a lot of Chevy V-8's with it! Lol Mopar or no car. @@richardcline1337

[@fistfirst7355]

You can put a new floor and there is people who rust restore and put metal on it

[@michaelcaron7659]

Absolutely there’s this Mopar garage in Oregon that specializes in cars like this they would Love to get their hands on this and totally restore it guaranteed 👍

[@michaeltutty1540]

That is definitely a car worth saving. They built 10 with the 318 and 3 speed floor shift. 50 years later, this may be the last one extant. It could well have been the only one in that colour with brown interior and white vinyl top. Parts are pretty easy to get, so that does make it easier. The 318 2bbl was the standard V8. It was a 2 up engine option, as both the 194 and 225 slant 6 engines were also available. Keep in mind that in 1971, power steering was an option. There were 3 different steering ratios available. The standard manual steering box had the slowest ratio. Power steering came with a faster ratio. Oddly, there was a third, even faster ratio that did not come with power steering. There were 3 brake systems available. Standard was unassisted 4 wheel drum set up. One up was front disc brakes, also unassisted. Front disc brakes with power assist were the top option. In determining value, the presence or absence of optional equipment can make a big difference. I hope the original 318 can be saved. Numbers matching does increase value The painted to match gas cap was standard, even on our very base 72 Dodge Dart. The chrome gas cap was an option. On the 71, the steel wheels came one of two ways. Cars ordered with hubcaps had wheels painted body colour. Cars ordered with full wheel covers came with black wheels. This could be a fun car with the work done. It would be less complicated that you might suppose, since the sheet metal is available and all the hard to find parts seem to be there.

[@gunjunky187]

I would absolutely love to see the car go to someone with the means to restore it. What a beauty.

[@carcrusher4x4]

That's a great car to restore! Your lucky to find a Challenger in that condition. It's going to need a lot of metal work obviously. But for a nearly complete/original car, it's worth restoring (not for a profit). I'd keep the stock original appearance and build a nice small block to make it fun to drive. But big block sleeper would be a lot of fun

[@ronnietalarchyk-kh3pq]

Yes the car is worth restoring!I like the original color on it.Keep rocking it guys!

[@davidt3563]

The reaction to the final result was awesome! That's gotta make you guys feel good!!

[@Lauterec]

Definitely worth saving. They make absolutely everything aftermarket for these collectible Mopars. Someone can throw a new floor pan and a new drivetrain in and maybe this could be a challenger that the average mechanic joe could build as long as he knew how to weld.

[@garyfeltus9801]

That car is absolutely worth restoring. The motor may not Evan be stuck who knows . You won't have a problem selling it. Great video.

Great video as always guys. If it is a 1 of 10 car, it needs to be restored to it's former glory. I'm sure Mark at GYC would be able to help with identification and point you in the right direction.

It is definitely worth restoring. There are a few people out there who restore Mopars. Dylan McCool would be someone to look up, and there is Mark Worman, who owns a shop in Oregan and also has a show called Graveyard Cars.

[@DanimalZ32]

Haven’t seen that show on tv in a couple years. Do they still make new episodes?

Love old Challengers-very pretty car. That “pie plate” on the carb looks like it was the engine designation trim that laid atop the (missing) air cleaner. I would guess restoring this car would cost more than it would be worth, but people restore cars because they want to. Put some oil in the cylinders. Engine probably not locked up unless water got in there.

That ending up being the best looking skip I’ve ever seen!

[@rdh2059]

Favorite muscle car of all time is the Pontiac GTO 2nd Gen (1968 - 1972). These cars had great sleek styling while being very light (for the time), giving them great potential in power to weight... The Pontiac Royal Bobcat was the pinnacle with a 390-horsepower 428 cu in V8. That car is worth saving. Aftermarket sheetmetal for the floors and trunk area are available. Unless someone is doing a "revival", just getting that car to run for a few hundred miles, they'll rebuild/replace that motor and possibly the transmission. A lot of Mopar folks love rebuilding those engines and they end up in better than original condition. Yeah, that's worth saving...

[@robertgorman5622]

I don't know the story of why it was left to rot away.... Breaks my heart to see such a low mileage car in this condition

[@kevinelia7123]

If miles are correct. Hard to believe all the parts removed and the car failed at such low miles. I’d like to see the full history involved. Who parked it there and why. Great videos guys.

[@Frank-hw9kk]

Looks to me like somebody was going to paint it

[@craigcontofalsky4387]

That's what happens when you store your car over a dirt and gravel floor. My 71 Demon 340 has 14,400 original miles, and it's still like new, but it's always been garaged and driven a few hundred miles every year. Not a bit of rust. None! I've owned many Mopar muscle cars since 1971 and with the exception of my brother's 70 Dart Swinger they've all held up well. His car was driven every winter in Northern Ohio and the frame rusted out in 8 years around the torsion bar anchor. I owned 2 Demons 1971, 2 Chargers 1971, 1972, 73 Valiant and none were that rusty even with 120,000 plus miles. Maybe this Challenger has 127,000 miles on it?

[@panderzextreme2210]

For their answer for whether or not it's worth saving, it is possible, as long as the chassis is structurally sound and the body is in a good enough condition. Repairing rust holes on these muscles cars is pretty easy as there's not that many curvatures in these cars + panel removal and repairing is quite simple + I think they still make replacement panels and floor pans for these cars.

[@paulreints2279]

AMD makes every part for these cars, but the labor involved is anything but easy. For perspective, a set of new reproduction full quarter panels for a Challenger will cost thousands of dollars. It's harder than it looks.

[@masonhook8803]

To answer your question, I would say it’s definitely worth restoring. There’s basically 3 options. 1. Complete rotisserie job if your buddy wants it to be a garage queen because of sentimental reasons. 2. Leaving it as it is for the right collector (if it really is a 1 of 10 for 1971). 3. Welding in new floor/trunk panels, bondo and paint the outer panels, slap on aftermarket inner door panels and drop a fresh 350 or something else reliable in it and drive the hell out of it. If you have the right connections or can work on your own stuff, you could probably do the last option for 12-15k. That’s probably what I would do if I inherited it. The MOPAR guys are losing their minds reading this and hearing you say LS swap it, but that’d be the cheapest way to getting it to be reliable and have plenty of power. Also could do modern dodge engines like the 3.6 or the hemi, but for a cheap rebuild the hemi is out of the questions. Thanks for listening to my rant, great vid 👍🏽

She needs to be restored! She has come this far fighting. Awesome video guys.

[@joeschmoe6908]

Doesn't look like she put up much of a fight.

I got a 1968 Plymouth belvidere and it is the best for sure.

[@mrvampire41]

Looks all original, including the gas Cap. Yes restoration is worth it. Only few offered the 318. That model is a standard instead of muscle and HP. Great car. Judging the engine bay, I'd say 119,000.

[@goleafsgo8496]

or ..... 219,000 ....... or 319,000 ....... LOL 😂. Still though it's a mostly complete Mopar and if restored would fetch a good dollar! I would restomod it all day long if it was mine.

[@user-mj7sr1pz2v]

Yes it should be fixed. There are not a lot of these left. Great job !!!!!

[@scottn8003]

That is 100% restorable and worth a lot of money

[@RM-ok8op]

Yes! Is a Gem…very rare! I personally would like to see the Spanish guys from Alcalá technology do their magic on it.

I follow you from Argentina, I love what you do, greetings!!✌🏻⭐⭐⭐

[@jayminer9416]

Shes not too far gone, definitely worth some SERIOUS tlc.

[@kevinallen8162]

Given its overall condition, that Challenger is definitely worth saving. New floor panels aren't that involved, and as long as the Unibody/Frame is sound, it should make for a good driver level or better restoration. I may be biased, but I have always favored the MOPAR performance cars. My all-time favorite, and I will admit to being biased as I owned one for more than 35 years, is the 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible -- mine had the 383 Cubic Inch High Output V8 with the Torqueflyte automatic transmission -- it was Mediterranean Blue with white interior and white convertible top.

Restore it!! Those gems are worth restoring. One of my sons and my ex husband are resoring my ex-husbands 1969 Dodge Superbee 440 6pk. My son is also restoring a 1971 dodge pickup.

Hi guys I like your videos one thing you need to take into consideration is on older cars when you pull the seats out of the cars you need to look for what is called a build sheet usually it's under the back seat inside the springs or front seats inside the springs as well and it is multicolored it will be yellow green Blueish it will say exactly what the car came with and what it was ordered with what special options that makes the car worth a lot more money to have a build sheet. if it's a special model car sometimes people will order and delete items from the car to make it special for them so that needs to stay with the cars So just a heads up make sure to check for it .Don't know if you already know that but if not just wanted to give you a heads up. Papers under the back seats is not always trash 👍. keep up the great work

As far as American Muscle, 1969 Mustang. My non-Muscle favorite is an Austin Healey 3000, which is an absolutely beautiful vehicle and possibly one of the most beautiful cars ever built in my opinion.

I have seen 1950's barn finds in better shape. Only for Dodge Chrysler lovers this can be a treasure restoring job.Thanks.
