Hello
I have a 1971 Challenger R/T in my possession. It was owned by my better half's deceased husband. He purchased the car in 1978. However there are a lot of questions (on my part) as to what is actually going on with this car. He was a body man and painted the car before it went into storage for many many years ( and it looks really nice)
So my better half and I are trying to bring it back to a very nice driver car. It needs some work and we have started the work.
While researching about the Challenger there are some areas that don't quite seem right to me. This is a 340CID which matches the VIN# on the Dash and door. However, it is my understanding that in 1971, 340CID engines were orange and this engine is blue. I cannot find the serial number on the engine as of yet. I cannot find the Vin# - or is it sequence number - on the radiator support.
