 1971 Dodge Challenger:  Here it is Mopar fans, an original, FC7 Plum Cazy Purple, big block 440, E-Body Convertible that's well documented! The fender tag and broadcast sheet tell the story once you check the codes. Yep, a real JH27 convertible that was Plum Crazy Purple from the factory. These cars are RARE.  With only 27,000 Challengers produced in 1971, only 1,800 of them were convertibles! And I've been told less than 100 were factory original plum crazy purple. This car lived its first 30 years in California and it shows there is no rust anywhere. 
Although true Mopar fans know there were no RT convertibles produced in 1971, this car performs even better than originally advertised. Why because although it was born with a small block (almost all convertibles built  in 1971 were small blocks from the factory while only 170 got a 383), the owner of this car installed a 1968 440ci block that's very strong, fast and sounds awesome! 
Owner is a Mopar collector and I've had a bunch of different B and E bodies. This car is a great looking specimen that has its original broadcast sheet, fender tag, and is reliable. Simply put, this car is a high 2. I drive it, its not perfect, but it sounds awesome and looks great.  Lots of thumbs up on every drive.  Hit the key and it goes. Why is it not a 1, because its not a perfect, garage queen.  Owner takes his family for cruises in it often. Here is a breakdown of a few areas of the car below:
Driveline: 1968 440ci with 727 torqueflight and suregrip out back.  Owner added TTI 3" exhaust and headers and they sound phenomenal and pulls like a freight train.  Owner also upgraded to an 850 Holley carburetor that will snap your head back.  After proper warm up, hit the throttle and hold on!
Paint/Exterior: One repaint on this car 10 years ago. No dents, dings, nicks.  Beautiful purple paint with the right black side stripes.  New convertible top and boot have been replaced recently and are in great shape with no issues there.
