Didn't 71 bees have grill like indentations in the doors? Was that an optional or are the doors replaced? Don't quote me but I don't think 71 Super Bee doors had indentations. 71 Charger R/T doors had two vertical indentations and 72 Charger Rallye doors had five horizontal indentations.

I don't think this car was a long term CA car. Looking at the roof, floors, and underside look more like PA than CA.

I must be looking at a different car (or possibly insane, there is that possibility) but I think it looks pretty solid. Surface rust and dirt galore, but most of the metal looks pretty useable. Have to see in person, but yes, a very expensive restoration regardless. It doesn't look punched with holes but the underside has some serious scaling IMO and it may lead to pinholes once cleaned. It just doesn't look like a dry car to me but I'm not saying it's not salvageable

Cool car love the 71 chargers.Looks like alot of metal work for someone. Love these Chargers as well. I would die a happy camper, if I owned a '71 FJ6 Hemi Super Bee or R/T.

Going to be a rip in the frame rail hooking like that... I see in the one picture. Bought a lot of West coast cars. They get covered in dirt and rain from setting open doors , windows. Underside could have been moist area sitting on. Like another said. A coastal rots worse or like a back east car.. Salt air kills them

If that's your FJ6 Bee...it's beautiful! Have you taken it to the Packard Proving grounds Mopar show in the past? If so, I have seen it in person.... again, beautiful car!
