I here that the 71 U code GTX that sold at Mecum here in Phoenix sold a week ago to someone from Kennewick, WA. Wonder if he or she is a member here?

So is that Uber rare being a 71 U code car rather than V? Lol, not particularly rare. I’ve owned two over the years, and they both ended up as parts cars. Oh wait, I contributed to the rarity! 😮 Something like a little over 2500 440 cars and 135 440+6.

Most '71 GTX's you ever see are 440-4 cars - that was the standard engine. Same with '71 Charger R/T's.
However once many years ago, I was presented with a rare one for $1700.00. A genuine U-code 1971 Super Bee Charger. I was pumping gas for my job, & a guy in probably his late 20's comes in with his wife & baby in his Bahama Yellow 71 Super Bee. The car was NICE - no rust. I asked him if it was for sale? He said - "yep - it's not a good family car - $1700.00." That kind of $$ back then to me may as well been a million.

Ya know, I didn’t go to Mecum. Couple of guys that did go sent me the pic. Funny it ended up from where I moved from.

I always wondered how 26 supposedly left the factory with an engine that’s wasn’t even an option So how would a dealer even request or price that out ?

I did not know it until years later that the 440-4bbl was not available in the '71 Bees, yet some were built with it. This particular car had the brown interior too - just like my '71 R/T that I bought in Dec. of 1980. It was an auto/console car. AND I recall it had the louvered hood. There were a lot of interesting musclecars around the Detroit area back in the mid-late 70's, but it was hard to find something unless you just happened to know of a car, or if it became for sale in a local paper. Much more limited communications back then. If you were looking for something, it was hard to find! There were not all kinds of muscle just prowling the streets on any given day - you mostly saw stuff like LTD's & Impalas, Mavericks & Pintos, etc.
