Available parts might end up being the deciding factor on that car. I have done several '71 GTXs. I love 'em. But many items unique to them are nearly impossible to find.
Be sure to research the availability of the stuff you need for this project. The '71 RR and GTX are great cars, but there is a real shortage of parts for them.
Good luck.
Master, again and still

i have been looking on sites for values and i realize its not a Hemi or a six pack but its still a solid project.
I don't want to rain on yer parade, but the tab for a coupla' 71 GTX's done to OEM in these parts recently came in at over 6 figures... Doing one of these was never easy... As in '$$$'... To do one in 2016 can get you upside down real quick...

Like any restoration, it pays to start with a very solid car that is very complete. There are allot of parts available now. Though, like any others, some are not cheap. My 71 GTX was a GY8/GY4. The following owner changed the color FJ6 Green, which was the right move IMO...other than it was ~somewhat~ misrepresented once it went on to retail dealers. http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/sales/inventory/sold/1971-Plymouth-GTX/135202

So the 71 SSP seats I have might be worth something Should be the same for GTX... Look at the grain, and the inserts..
