'71 Challenger!

[skipsfirstgens]

I picked up a '71 Challenger roller project. It is short many odds and ends. I am looking for grill and tail light bezel plus interior items. Thanks in advance and happy E-Bodying...

Congratulations on getting your 71 Challenger. Right now, most of what you need is available. The most difficult item will be a 71 grille. A nice one will cost you a couple thousand dollars at least. Until they are reproduced, they will be difficult to buy. You'll find alot of help here.

There's a grille on ebay right now for $650 . Mostly there except for one end broken off.

I didn't see it or it is already gone. This is what I would do. I would save a lot of time and it would fit. 1970 Dodge Challenger; Complete Front Grill; with Surround and Filler Panel | eBay

Welcome to FEBO. Post a WTB for the parts you want. A picture of yours is a plus. So which one of the parts below are you looking for? Is there a match?

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Please post some pictures of your Challenger! We don't care if it's in pieces or not!

Welcome, welcome. As others have said, brace yourself for the cost of the grille.

These can be repaired, if you find a cracked or broken one, as long as all the pieces are there, you can glue it, sand it, and have it painted. It's a bunch a of work, but doable on a budget. It can take years to find a decent one at an affordable price, so take you're time. There isn't a huge demand for these.

That grille on ebay is also missing the center support bracket. The broken off grille ends on the 71's is typical for that grille.

If you can get the grille for $600 and the grille parts for $375, you can get one good grille.
