Hung out with friend Mike today. He recently purchased a restored 1971 340 Challenger in PCP of course. It’s an awesome car. Some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Absolutely gorgeous vehicles. I would love to see some shots of the restored interior. What engine/trans combo did he go with?

Killer pictures.
But......
I am glad they don't do vinyl roofs anymore.

I love a contrasting interior color beneath the exterior paint. White interiors work for me, especially with the white stripe.

ummm it looks like a '71

Myself I would take the new one. I had a '70 back in the late 80's. Beautiful car though

Sorry no interior pictures. I'll get some new time. It is white of course, 340 w/4 barrel and 4 speed with pistol grip shifter.

Beautiful car but definitely a '71.

Yep.
Not a 70, but still freaking beautiful!

Yep, you're right. I'll blame it on the beer when I started the thread.

Funny how no one is talking about the 797HP Redeye sitting there. The 71 340 4 speed car is getting all the attention. Nice!!!!

In its day that 340 was a high reviving monster. Light to light it beat a lot of so called big blocks.

Your right...it was light..with a few suspension mods it hooked..and the 275 hp rating was a joke...as an 18 yr old kid..my 71 Demon 340..w/3.90 rear end was a formidable street car...

Hey T Mann....how was your Christmas...

I did absolutely nothing. I did take the Challenger out and do a little burnout for fun. But an overall uneventful day and I loved it.

How was yours, Demonman? Do anything fun?
