71 Charger SE

My new purchase 100% original paint/interior, never an accident and no rust

original luggage rack car

2nd owner "John", Vietnam Vet w/2 tours and purple heart owned the car for 30 years

I love 71 Charger SE's.

Very nice.

Thank-you, since I first started getting into cars (1963) I've owned just about everything (except old Hemi) and while many people find this model unattractive, this one got my attention

So......when are you going to start pulling it apart to restore it?

never, stays this way.

Excellent decision!

really nice car!

Here's a pix of the mint leather interior. notice the home made horn button on the wheel

no rust trunk pan

Awesome car! It just looks better and better the more photos I see of it.

Thanks, I can go on and on about the condition. Just about every nut and bolt body and trim wise has never been touched and I love all the trim to polish. I will tell everybody that "John" 2nd owner , took the original 383 out (its on a skid in my garage)and put a somewhat stock 440 in it. With his attention to detail on the swap,even has spark plug shields and working AC that the normal car person would be hard pressed to see the difference

Broadcast sheet for the 71 SE which I understand they are hard to come by on St. Louis built cars

VERY Nice!!!

You did really good on that one

Congrats.

Cool!

What wheels did it originally come with? That's the only thing I would change.

Thanks everyone. The broadcast sheet shows 14" rallye wheels, which if I could find a very nice set. Finding nice trim rings and taking a chance on old rims plus the cost of shipping isn't worth it. I've thought about 15" magnums w/black wall tires. I would also mention, the car had new MP leaf springs installed and to my liking, they're too high. need to get different ones.

The original carpet is still very nice for 43 years old

opps, wrong pix

In the pix, you will notice a different bucket seat bracket, it is a bracket made by (Seat Rizer) which simply bolts to your original seat bracket and raises the seat by 2". I'm a regular size guy but I've always had trouble with the 71 b bodies (E bodies also) sitting so low. The cost was $45.00 which was way cheaper than the $500 for a broken 6 way. It's nice not having to worry about changing things

Try flipping the front spring perches. Should drop the stance without affecting the ride. Or, you could buy The Firm Feel perches which have an extra hole drilled so you can lower the rear.
