My son found this car just the other day. Its a 71 SE Charger 318, AT, AC, rear speaker audio, black bench car and magnum 500 wheels. Has 36,xxx original miles but has some rust from being from up north originally. Factory white but had been repainted silver grey sometime in past. Engine runs but past owner states blows oil out ps of engine. Besides paint this car is unmolested! It's neat. Bought today and dragging back today too. Interior is in beautiful condition also.

Congrats! I'm jealous! Good score, did you buy it, or your son?

Pretty cool to have a 7 year old sniff out the hidden Mopars!They look in places where us older dudes never think.
Nice score!

Just looked over fender tag...car was originally W3 Bright white and is coded for V6X...isn't this the superbee and rt longitudal stripes? I didnt think you could get them on any other models? It definately had them too because after looking it over I found remnants of the stripes in the door jam areas where stripes ended and curved around. Is this odd? Would have been a sharp car new.

A white 71 SE is a great looking car. Are you sure those aren't just dual pinstripes in the door jams? I see this thing with a 500 inch stroker, white paint, black canopy vinyl top and 15X8 rallye wheels!

Definitely not pinstripes as too big. I'll see if I can't get r.Seat out for codes. Gonna shine light up in fender/door areas and see if any remnants.

Just popped up my rear seat and found some good stuff: nice build sheet with a piece of paper with it embossed with guys name on it "EUGENE S. THURSTON" both found under springs, the factory paint/water test sheet with my cars vin and date of Oct.19, 1970. A long cardboard paint stick looking thing (no idea) and there were 3 coins tucked right under carpet edge together (2 quarters and 1 dime - all new and 1965). Good Stuff! Build sheet confirms all my options too - including trunk dress up kit and carpeted spare tire cover. Build sheet has typed on bottom remarks section "OIL UNIT" any ideas to this?

Brakes applied.......was going over buildsheet and saw color was different than my car and a couple other things different. Mainly that the vin was about 1000 after mine. CRUD!!!! This buildsheets car was optioned almost exactly like mine but different color K6. Well maybe I'll find another one up front under dash or front seats. At least paint dept pw is vin'd for mine.

Good news today guys...as stated earlier was told the engine spews out oil on passenger side. Was actually told "father in law told me engine is blown and has a big hole in side of engine that when he got it running covered his floor in oil. It's blown" Well since "blown" figured no harm in trying to turn over...threw in new battery and cranked. Turned over with no issues, noises, clunks or anything and actually sounded like ready to fire up. Upon inspection found just what his father in law did I suppose...oil all over ground. What did I find upon inspection? Well I did not find a hole or crack in engine but an oil filter with a small tear in it! YES! Going to change oil this weekend, filters and fuel pump then attempt to start off gas can. Wish me luck

more shots. I am utterly amazed at condition of original interior. Car has just under 36,ooo original miles and is a time capsule.
