I saw Chris Birdsong on TV yay! Now I know, there is Justice in this world. More Chris on TV please. More amazing recreation and restoration of beautiful classic cars from the Mopar master. And one beautiful Chevelle. Puhleeeeese!
I don't think anybody is a bigger hater of the 71+ chargers than me, Love the 68-70 chargers... but Not good seeing the 71 RT in the scrap yard and great to see it have a second life.
One of the coolest cars there I'll bet I'm biased cuz I bleed corporate Blue and hemi orange but still junkyard to the track with minimal butchery I do love the shackle hanger and the wet sanding the crank with the garden hose cannot wait to see the rest just loving this
I'm with ya! That shackle hanger looks awesome! Rather watch this any day than a couple of actors bolt thousands of dollars of parts together that I will never be able to afford.
Too bad Chrysler did not keep the gen-2 Charger body style for at least one more year to 1971. When that gen-3 style came out sales numbers fell off immediately because that body style was not as popular.
I thought for sure you were going to cut that rear panel partiallly off and beat it back into approximate shape there then reweld it back on. Still might if you try to get your hanger back in place? Love this stuff
nice score even if very rough and yeah that will be the thing enjoy it as is and it stays around making good stories and if it becomes worth restoring then hey it's in the fleet best thoughts
He ain't lying about hoods being crazy expensive... There is an okay one on Facebook marketplace right now for $3,200..... A set of those door at mopar nats this year was $1,100.
Chris, I’m going to work on starting a go fund me to get you a shop. Working in that desert heat and desert winter night has to suck. I’ll figure it out can’t be that hard if every sub donates $2 that should get you what you need
The Dodge models based on the B-body were the Coronet, Super Bee and the Charger. The 1969 Charger Daytona was a Charger with an extended nose and high-mounted rear wing, offered for the same reasons as the Superbird. The Charger Daytona was produced only during the 1969 model year.
Does it have the Vin on dash and does it have fender tag? The hoods are $800 at AMD power bulge. I have a strong feeling AMD will be making Door skin's like they are making for 1968 69 70 Charger. AMD already makes the quarter's. I'm not a big fan of the 1971 72 73 74, but there are still alot of them out there. So demand is there for R/T superbee hoods and doors for regular everyday chargers. There was a Air grabber hood package a year ago New steel hood was $1,395 with hood door. They sold out I haven't seen them since
No clock in the tach on a 71-74 rallye cluster, interior hood release was an option not standard... it will almost definitely cut your fingers with the peeling chrome over plastic tho...
Did you try to sell it to Roadkill Garage,it'd be a two horse race to get a 71 Dodge charger GT out of their hands,buuuuut,it would be the best beater,cut stuff off,weld what's gonna fit,and drive it
Man that charger he's building with the cage is gunna be badass. I like the fact that he kept the cage. If he cut it out he could have put something way better in. It's kinda like Mike Finnegans charger death metal. Has a old junky rollcage both chargers. Both where found in the woods basically. It's the same story. Only you got the nicer rollcage! Haha Its okay Mike has done stuff to make his cage safer so it's not really a death charger. Just thought it was weird there were two racecar chargers that had junky rollcages and both found in the woods. How many people where building water pipe rollcages back then 😅.
I thought for sure you were going to part out everything of value, then use the money you get doing so to buy cheap body panels, or weld in fake doors and make a early 70s dirt track racer. Still rad.

"Dude, you got a real hunk of s#!t right here." -Lennard. Quote of the year. I'm still laughing.
I was hoping this would last an hour, I'll just slip back into my coma and wait for the next one, nice Keith Black Hemi shirt.
Now you’re just showing off!!! Favorite channel on TH-cam!!!
Yes! Best idea ever! Putting junk together for a good time,with leftover junk parts! All for it!
What a series if you piece by piece that 71 R/T back together. Only when you found them at a Junkyard. 😂😂😂
I saw Chris Birdsong on TV yay! Now I know, there is Justice in this world. More Chris on TV please. More amazing recreation and restoration of beautiful classic cars from the Mopar master. And one beautiful Chevelle. Puhleeeeese!
You can restore it you can make it gooder.❤
Cool car, love that you figure out a way to enjoy them.
Way to give that Charger a second life.
Hey Chris what I was trying to say was thank you for the video and good luck with your new project
This is excellent!
Nice save Chris, someone out there is going to want this car when you're done racing it.
Looks so good on passenger side almost makes you wanna cry but love the idea living the dream 💯
I had a 71' R/T Charger ❤ I drove it many years back in the 80s... I'm glad to see this one is rescued!!! 😊
Man I actually really dig it, use some rough body panels on it, it's cool, and I'm glad your going to have fun with it
I 2nd that
After seeing your magic skills,,
This car woild be an Easy Fix !!
I don't think anybody is a bigger hater of the 71+ chargers than me, Love the 68-70 chargers... but Not good seeing the 71 RT in the scrap yard and great to see it have a second life.
You are CRAZY but I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Screw restoring them just get em running and on the road 💪🏼
I watched it blow up here in Tucson! Amazing job sir
It's like Super Beeter version 2.0 , Looking forward to seeing it at the drags !
Love your videos, just need to be longer, cheers mate 👍🇭🇲
I wanna be like you when I grow up :D
Rust and dust sure does taste 👍 good😅
Bro!!!! This Is Fu#&ing awesome! Genius!!! Yes some day this car will be worth restoring, but now just beat on it!!!
Perfect!
Leonard doesn’t sugar coat!
Honesty is always better than sugar coated bullshit. 👍

Reply of the month 🏆 👍👍
Looks mint
Thanks for the video, if we have to wait another two weeks could the next one be six or seven hours?😁

Always look forward to your next adventure m8,
nice score even if very rough and yeah that will be the thing enjoy it as is and it stays around making good stories and if it becomes worth restoring then hey it's in the fleet best thoughts
Poor Derek went from all clean and suave to sweaty and greasy just that quick what a guy
You are doing the lords work. Great work. Great show. Chargers are King.
Man is a Mopar magician...
He ain't lying about hoods being crazy expensive... There is an okay one on Facebook marketplace right now for $3,200..... A set of those door at mopar nats this year was $1,100.
Didn't know a steering wheel could be explained like that, LMAO Chris !
Mags make everything look better
Awesome! Save them all 💪🙌 go Mopar
I just saw a really nice one at HOT ROD Drag Week.
It's the Mopar version of gone in 60sec.
Chris, as an owner of a 71 Superbee you're right about parts, especially for a 71 as they are hard to find and stupid expensive.
Cool!
Chris just noticed you moved ,i can't wait to see this car
I was thinking hook the pickup truck to the quarter and pull that sum bitch back out roll with it other than that this is a great idea I love it 👍
Sweat we like it buddy!!!
That one had a strong parts car status 😀
I only see some scrap metal on wheels. I’m curious hou you get this one running and driving again 😜
Really hope we as viewers can come together and help you out.
Bring back the mullet for this ride.
Kool. At the least, a silver medal in the waste of time olympics! Awesome (?) use of a "buyers remorse" 71 R/T. Keep @ it,,Izzy Strong,,,,
Dodge only made like 2100 (idk the exact # but they are rare) R/T Chargers in '71. That car is totally worth restoring!
This was of doing it is way more fun though. Don't have to worry about it.
It still exists and I have all parts off of it
Now that's what I'm talking about I had one of those and sold it so my eldest son could have a forien car to drive to college
Chris, I’m going to work on starting a go fund me to get you a shop. Working in that desert heat and desert winter night has to suck. I’ll figure it out can’t be that hard if every sub donates $2 that should get you what you need

You can fix it time to get to work😅😮❤.
This is the best dumb idea yet I love it
The most valuable part of this car was the fenders, one year only. A good pair of used 71 charger fenders that need work are bringing 2500$ a set.....
Slap it together and run the Bzlls off of it!🤘🤘🤘
Just take her down to the paintless dent removal shop.
👍
✌ Mopar madman
wire the trunk lid down and buff/ polish that right finder make it alone as shinny as possible
Does it have the Vin on dash and does it have fender tag? The hoods are $800 at AMD power bulge. I have a strong feeling AMD will be making Door skin's like they are making for 1968 69 70 Charger.

How to make chicken salad outa chicken sh\t. 😝
Surprised you didn't pull that quarter out, you love straightening near impossible to repair things :P
Would ruin ratty look
If anyone can, it's you. But, check out the GTO from pole barn garage, she a real peach. He plans on being there.
Also the front structure and most of the floor pan is e-body....
🦅🇺🇸💪😎👍
Chris, I saw the shord vid of it running, what cam did you use?
😁😁👍👍
You can use 73-74 charger doors and front end parts there much cheaper and will bolt on, but they are NOT exactly the same....
Did you ever do anything with the nascharger you was building?
I tried to look back through the videos but I didn't see anything.
Sold
im a die hard 1st gen charger guy,but i do like the 71s
Yeee😃
nice
About time you did some work on a cool car
No clock in the tach on a 71-74 rallye cluster, interior hood release was an option not standard... it will almost definitely cut your fingers with the peeling chrome over plastic tho...
Very cool.
Hey they you for the video
🤙🤙🤙
I can't believe will all your resourcefulness you couldn't make that a daily driver if you wanted to , im sure you of all people could manage that . !
Waste of time…I can buy better
What ever happened to the gold 71 back end your bud had in Vegas?
Not to mention 71 Chargers are hideous body style coming off the masterpiece in 68, 69, and 70
would look great at the autocross
👍👍
I fully support the idea of not restoring the 71 Charger, but maybe pull the quarter to get it in somewhat of a crinkled charger shape
Plasma ? Aww man i was hoping to see you try to pull it out lol
Impossible
Did you try to sell it to Roadkill Garage,it'd be a two horse race to get a 71 Dodge charger GT out of their hands,buuuuut,it would be the best beater,cut stuff off,weld what's gonna fit,and drive it
Man that charger he's building with the cage is gunna be badass.
I like the fact that he kept the cage.
If he cut it out he could have put something way better in.
It's kinda like Mike Finnegans charger death metal.
Has a old junky rollcage both chargers.
Both where found in the woods basically.
It's the same story.
Only you got the nicer rollcage! Haha
Its okay Mike has done stuff to make his cage safer so it's not really a death charger.
Just thought it was weird there were two racecar chargers that had junky rollcages and both found in the woods.
How many people where building water pipe rollcages back then 😅.
Period correct aluminum slots and side pipes mid-70's the time it probably was last on road
I thought for sure you were going to part out everything of value, then use the money you get doing so to buy cheap body panels, or weld in fake doors and make a early 70s dirt track racer. Still rad.
Just curious, are you still ruining flat tappet cams in new engine builds?
Yes roller is expensive
A 10 ton Porta power would've straighten most of the wheel well
Must know name of song and from first few minutes of video
Third gen's a way the hell better than second chance
#Temu...shop like a millionaire!!🌴🌴
Ok, I'm 2 minutes in, and you're going to do what with this hunk of shit? This I have to see! Cheers bud :)
