- Hello fellow Petrol Heads, in this video we walk you around our friend Ed’s all Original 1971 Dodge Challenger. This beauty has 95,000 original miles, with a 318 small block. The Challenger made its way into Joe’s Garage for some freshening up for driving reliability. The aim is to retain as much originality as possible while ensuring it will be a reliable driver to car shows, trips, and weekend cruises.

Had one exactly like it in the mid 80's and would love to have this one.
It was a pleasure cruising with this car to Moparfest and back!
Beautiful car
I really love this car.
Nice Challenger looks great
Thank you! We appreciate it.
Love the 71 Challenger! She is in great shape.
That chrome nose band I believe was an option. You should do a video decoding the tag.
dont mind my comment but im just proving a point that this video is great doesnt matter if old or new car has a slant 6 or v6 with the new challengers if you love mopars just nothing can come close to to them my dad owns 2 71 challengers one was a original 340 se challenger and other a 318 both cars now have 440s and he trailers around and i have a 2021 challenger sxt
we completely agree, every car has it's own character and attitude. thank you for the comment and watching!
You do what you have to in order to enjoy driving this car the way it was meant to. I am totally behind your decision
We appreciate the support
Beautiful car! Just a thought if your opening the engine why not put a bit of cam in it. Make it a little more fun to drive.nobody will care. Hughes whiplash would wake that low compression 318 up quite a bit.😎
Owen Nikish oh believe me, if it was mine, that cam would be made into artwork and a new Hughes can would be in place!!
How far to go with "survivor's" when detailing ? That question has just frustrated the heck out of me for many years, because I own an all original '69 Charger R/T SE, 440/auto that just turned over 140,000 miles last summer, and I always wanted to touch up and "detail" the under hood but I was afraid to change the originality ?
NOT anymore as this year I plan to pull the 440 and rebuild it while it stills runs well before anything like the "Timing Chain" let's go ? Sad... because I will be removing the original Exhaust/H-Pipe etc., etc. probably best to replace them also ? as I can't see putting the 50 yr old exhaust system back on.
Any ways.... THANKS for the Video ! Now I don't feel so bad because I still intend to DRIVE mine some more !
Excellent Comment, we appreciate the viewership very much. Yes, the maintenance of a “survivor” is tough, our opinion is that the car needs to run and drive otherwise what’s the point.
I agree with your decision to do the maintenance on the R/T. I don’t know if this detail got into any of the future videos, but I can tell you the timing chain on the 318 that was in this car was spent. This saved a possible catastrophic failure down the line.
trunk looks red inside, but the outside looks Orange. Repaint?
Do you guys make it down to Carlisle in July?
Josh Williams not sure if I’m going this year. If I do I may go down for the day and back with Ed, who owns this challenger
It’s a 318, if it was not for them you could of not had the small HP editions.
