Now’s your chance to own one (or both!) of these iconic muscle cars!
In 1971, Dodge was sitting amongst the kings of the muscle car movement, but production for this year was low, and the Challenger line was trimmed down considerably. If you wanted to buy a 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T in modern times, you’d be hard pressed to find examples like the two currently for sale through Volo Auto Museum.
While not being sold as a pair, you could definitely have a sweet Mopar muscle collection if you bought them together, or either individually. Both represent a rare find from the low production year, and both are painted in the highly desirable Plum Crazy Purple coat - which has become an iconic shade from the Mopar muscle car era.

The first example is a ground pounding R/T that’s powered by a 440 cubic inch, 400-horsepower engine, that’s backed by a five-speed manual transmission. This six-pack V8 remains to be one of the most sought after engine options available in 1971. The hardtop coupe represents one of only 4,630 R/T hardtops to hit the streets that year.
Only eclipsing the R/T coupe body style in rarity is the convertible body style, with only 2,165 convertibles sold in 1971. This example is equipped with a 340 cubic inch engine, backed by an automatic transmission. Like it’s coupe counterpart, it’s also outfitted with a shaker hood, twin-scoop R/T hood, and R/T side stripe package.
With around 165,000 classic Dodge Challengers sold during the muscle car era of 1970-1974, the model is a rare site on the road these days, so to find two in the same inventory is somewhat miraculous. To find them in this level of condition is also a rare find on the market in 2019.
