Hello, new member. 71 Challenger, original owner.

[CHLNGR]

Hi, I'm Mark. I'm amazed I could get this handle, but it's been my license plate forever, and I use it for my e-mail, my domain, etc.
So I was 17 when I bought my Challenger. I wish I knew then what I do now, 'cause I walked into the dealer and bought the first convertible I saw. If I had only known I could order up just the car I wanted, I could have saved YEARS of work.
Now it's a 440/AT RT - even though they never made a 71 Convertible RT.
Anyway, I'm glad to be here and hope I can do my share of helping others out.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!
I've really been enjoying driving my Challenger now that the weather is nice, and have plans for making it nicer this summer. More about that later.
For now, here's a photo.

Nice looking Challenger! Historically I have not been a convertible guy...but I think I am being "converted".....

That is a great looking 71 Challenger convertible. I have to ask, what are those front bucket seats out of as the seat backs are different?

Howdy and welcome from Colorado!

Since you bought this car new I am wondering if you retain all of it's original paperwork? Would be interested in seeing those if you ever decide to share that info. I enjoy reading original paperwork as they are increasingly uncommon.

Great looking car.
