Can anyone lead me to production figures for a 71 GTX 440 HP car.
Automatic / Console
3.23 Open rear
color is Gold

Looking at a restoration project for a friend and trying to decide how far to take this project based on dollars and sense.

Thanks

Mike

For your '71 GTX production numbers
go to The Road Runner Nest.
You can find what you need there

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 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.

What are the near impossible parts to get for 71 B Bodies?

rust free trunk lid. Seat Foam.. no one reproduces the correct for for 71/72 B-bodies. Correctly restored dash bezels or nice OEM are hard to find. Nothing is impossible, but can be pricey.

OEM hard to find:
Marker lights
inside plastic pillar posts
medallions for door panels


Is your restoration going to be an OEM-Judged, or driver resto.

Some of the stuff mentioned is now being reproduced, but not having OEM markings.

I restored a 71 GTX back in the early 90's. There was almost no reproduction parts back then. I spent a lot of time tracking down NOS parts for it. The car was GB2 Blue with a B5 blue interior. It had two fender tags and two window stickers. I think there were about 22 options in all. I sold the car in 1997 at what would be today called a "give away price" I never saw the car again and I have wondered where it is today...

The only real difference between a 71 SSP and GTX interior is the dash emblem.
71-2 SSP and RR, with the Décor interior, use the same bucket seats including covers as the 71 GTX.
