1971 Dodge Challenger 340 Convertible Restored Plum Crazy













Vehicle Description
Presidential Auto is proud to offer this rare and iconic 1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible, beautifully finished in its original Plum Crazy Purple with a black power convertible top. A true piece of American muscle car history, this Challenger has been the subject of a no-expense-spared professional restoration to bring it back to its glory. The result is a near show-quality example that looks as stunning as it drives.
This Challenger started life as a 318 but has undergone a power improvement to a high-performance 340 cubic inch small-block V8, paired to a 3-speed automatic transmission and shifted via the signature T-handle shifter. The engine bay presents as new, with its correct blue block, black air cleaner, factory manifolds, and dual exhaust. Power steering, power disc brakes, and factory air conditioning make this classic muscle car as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire.
The restored interior stays faithful to its heritage with black bucket seats, the original dash gauge cluster and factory pushbutton AM radio with the exceptionally rare cassette player. A wood-rimmed steering wheel, woodgrain console trim, and Challenger-branded floor mats complete the period-correct cockpit. An aftermarket headunit has been custom mounted in the glove box.
On the outside, the Challenger wears its Plum Crazy paint over a twin-scoop hood, accented by black racing stripes, a rear Go-Wing, and factory road lamps. Chrysler Rally wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra raised-white-letter tires give it the perfect stance. Every detail has been executed to a high standard, from the dual exhaust tips to the fit and finish of the panels.
This Challengers trim tag verifies its authenticity with factory codes for its Plum Crazy paint, black bucket seats, white power convertible top, console, tinted glass, and more. Collectors will appreciate the rarity, quality of restoration, and the historical significance of this model one of the most desirable Mopars of the golden muscle car era.
