Is this car worth restoring?
Support WD & Get The Merch - www.shopwdmerch.com
yes!
The resell for profit will be good hopefully
Considering its old and just been restored means no debree when a person wants to buy it and it will look good
If this is a 1/10 then yes. This is sad that anybody would let a car like this sit for that long unattended.
yes if the car safe to bee on the road
It was seriously an honor working with you guys! Seeing my family’s car on your page is seriously to cool! the guys here at WD are so genuine and good at what they do! Thanks for everything guys!
Thanks for letting us do this car Joe!
I thought you said horror I was like awwww man that’s fucked lol
@@GRIM.2002 lol not with these guys. They are top notch. Super friendly, fun to be around and really down to earth. And there work speaks for itself!!
You have a beautiful car! Hoping to see it restored and well!
Dylan McCool did a resto on a challenger about 3 years ago. Check out his channel for the Challenger rebuild. It's a lot of work but very rewarding... especially for a 1 in 10 manufactured car.
Honestly, even without any floors, that thing is worth saving! It’s rare to find an unrestored Challenger nowadays
They actually make replacement floor and trunk panels so this car could realistically be restored and put back on the road.
I wish they had shown underneath at the sub frames. Any more you can even buy them if rusted out. I honestly don't think these kids understood the true value of that car. just in parts values you could probably buy a lot of Chevy V-8's with it! Lol Mopar or no car. @@richardcline1337
You can put a new floor and there is people who rust restore and put metal on it
Absolutely there’s this Mopar garage in Oregon that specializes in cars like this they would Love to get their hands on this and totally restore it guaranteed 👍
That is definitely a car worth saving. They built 10 with the 318 and 3 speed floor shift. 50 years later, this may be the last one extant. It could well have been the only one in that colour with brown interior and white vinyl top. Parts are pretty easy to get, so that does make it easier. The 318 2bbl was the standard V8. It was a 2 up engine option, as both the 194 and 225 slant 6 engines were also available.
Keep in mind that in 1971, power steering was an option. There were 3 different steering ratios available. The standard manual steering box had the slowest ratio. Power steering came with a faster ratio. Oddly, there was a third, even faster ratio that did not come with power steering. There were 3 brake systems available. Standard was unassisted 4 wheel drum set up. One up was front disc brakes, also unassisted. Front disc brakes with power assist were the top option. In determining value, the presence or absence of optional equipment can make a big difference. I hope the original 318 can be saved. Numbers matching does increase value
The painted to match gas cap was standard, even on our very base 72 Dodge Dart. The chrome gas cap was an option.
On the 71, the steel wheels came one of two ways. Cars ordered with hubcaps had wheels painted body colour. Cars ordered with full wheel covers came with black wheels. This could be a fun car with the work done. It would be less complicated that you might suppose, since the sheet metal is available and all the hard to find parts seem to be there.
I would absolutely love to see the car go to someone with the means to restore it. What a beauty.
RESTORE IT FOR SURE, beautiful piece of American history
i agree, and there are companies that make full replacement floor pans for that Challenger , as we as replacement bumpers
@@JohnH20111 absolutely! And even if the motor is seized, I say make that thing like dom does in fast and furious and have an absolute monster it really deserves to be brought back to life such a classic
Agreed, but if they did. They'd be best off with stripping the car and acid dipping the whole thing. Make sure none of that rust comes back
Yes,restore it
@@gomi350z absolutely, I agree 100%, gotta make sure nothing comes back, maybe dry ice the undercarriage after acid dipping it
definitely would be a sick restoration. it’ll take time but it’ll be worth it in the end
Definitely will take time but also, how much money?
We are talking about a significant investment of time, care and resources($$$) to bring this ball to its full self. Flor pan, Motor swap white top for Black or Dark Brown, probably will need a new transmission and wheel cylinders.
Strip it for parts and send the rest to the crusher.Would cost more to fix than it would ever be worth.
I don’t think this retoration would be that expensive
Graveyard Carz can restore it ❤
if you guys partnered with another channel that actually fixed the mechanical parts, doing a 2-part venture, you'd probably land on the moon!
VGG + WD Detailing = Epic
That's a great car to restore! Your lucky to find a Challenger in that condition. It's going to need a lot of metal work obviously. But for a nearly complete/original car, it's worth restoring (not for a profit). I'd keep the stock original appearance and build a nice small block to make it fun to drive. But big block sleeper would be a lot of fun
Yes the car is worth restoring!I like the original color on it.Keep rocking it guys!
The reaction to the final result was awesome! That's gotta make you guys feel good!!
Definitely worth saving. They make absolutely everything aftermarket for these collectible Mopars. Someone can throw a new floor pan and a new drivetrain in and maybe this could be a challenger that the average mechanic joe could build as long as he knew how to weld.
There are many many challenges out there who would love those straight body panels.
Another awesome find! Congrats on 700k. You guys are really rocking it.
I really hope someone restores this beautiful car..
That car is absolutely worth restoring. The motor may not Evan be stuck who knows . You won't have a problem selling it. Great video.
Shes not too far gone, definitely worth some SERIOUS tlc.
Awesome job guys I would love to see that car done up
This car needs a major rebuild. I wish a video would be made about the fate of this car if it was recovered
that’s nice of you guys 😮
That ending up being the best looking skip I’ve ever seen!
Perfect project for Graveyard Carz.
this car is well worth the investment in restoring actually great project
I think, this car is definitely worth restoring. It may look hopeless to some but if, it is 1 of 10 made 👍👍👍
You Guys DO An Awesome Job on These Cars
Congrats guys on 700k! So much rust! Don’t think much if any could be used for parts. Looks like the body is held together by the paint. Always looks great when it’s done. Thanks guys for sharing! Have a great weekend!
That is definitely 119K miles, at least. No way that is 19K miles.
It’s 19k we’re sure !
Inherited an '83 Olds in '89 with 8800 original miles. Elderly relatives never drove it except to grocery store, bank, and shopping. Oh, it once went to PA and back for 302 miles.
Definitely not a 19,000 mile car😂😂😂😂 99% the owners memory is a little bit off on how long it sat and how many miles it really has 😂
The chairs are as good as new and that is a good indication of the real amount of miles
The condition its in doesnt matter how many miles, could be 19mi its going to need a FULL resto.
Man you guys put a new meaning of “clean” impressive. Amazing how some things lasted…and most didn’t
I love what you guys do, taking these old forgotten cars and helping bring them back to their former glory. Truly awesome
It is definitely worth restoring. There are a few people out there who restore Mopars. Dylan McCool would be someone to look up, and there is Mark Worman, who owns a shop in Oregan and also has a show called Graveyard Cars.
Haven’t seen that show on tv in a couple years. Do they still make new episodes?
Almost guarantee Worman wouldn't touch it. It's not a high end collectible Mopar.
Love your videos. Keep up the incredible transformations! This one is worth restoring for someone with deep,pockets.
Masters of the cleaning
That is 100% restorable and worth a lot of money
Great video as always guys. If it is a 1 of 10 car, it needs to be restored to it's former glory. I'm sure Mark at GYC would be able to help with identification and point you in the right direction. Never was a fan of Mopar, I'm a confirmed Mustang guy. Keep it up, love the channel, and look forward to your next one.
Mark is Mopar crazy smart, especially the way he just rattles off the OE.
Is that a deputy? I didn't think the quarter windows rolled down in the deputy...
Nowhere near being a parts car, this car is in GOOD shape!!!! Also Coronet Super Bee for me.
The rarity of the year makes it worth restoring.
Realmente merece la pena salvar una chatarra como esa y no entiendo cómo hay gente que puede dejar abandonado un coche hasta ese punto dónde parece que todo está podrido
It’s called stupidity.
Nice car!
That Challenger is my fav car from the 70’s. Timeless body style. Great car. Deserves to be restored. Never mind. Parts car.
Graveyard Cars .. absolutely worth saving. This is in better shape than 80% of the cars those guys save.
man after seeing the floors i'm not sure if it will be worth restoring it, like it's rare and such a cool car but it's pretty far gone tho. i hope the owner could do it or sold it to someone who will preserve it. congrats to the 700k, you all deserve them!
The entire floor gets replaced for about $400.
@250ICON oh i had no idea, so it can be done with a cheap price after all. Good to know that!
There’s hardly a restored classic out there that started with a good floor lol
Definetly worth restoring, if you have the money and the love for a full rest-mod (at this condition, i doubt it could be done a full restoration as original), but would be so much fun to see it back in the roads... ;) andd the full rest video too... :D
*Definitely
Grammar police / troll much? Im fluent in 4 languages and know a thing or two about 2 more... and I dont go correcting people about grammar... thats what idiots do (which makes many people stop to try new languages).@@jumpinjojo
@@giorgioklock587 So teachers and college professors who correct their students grammar and spelling are idiots. Got it.
@@jumpinjojo he isnt your student...get over yourself
@@k1Stung *Isn’t.
What school did you fail out of? Lol!
Very rare combo ....Butterscotch yellow / brown interior / 3 speed on the floor .......yes "" worth restoring!!
Love old Challengers-very pretty car. That “pie plate” on the carb looks like it was the engine designation trim that laid atop the (missing) air cleaner. I would guess restoring this car would cost more than it would be worth, but people restore cars because they want to. Put some oil in the cylinders. Engine probably not locked up unless water got in there.
There is absolutely no way this car has 19 thousand original miles on it!!This is just my opinion.I couldn't justify watching the whole thing.Sorry,but I do watch your videos and subscribe.
Great transformation, as always. Love how much care and pride you take in the restorations. That type of work ethic will push your business to the top!
Dude, let’s have some shots of RJ in his socks 😍🧦😍🧦😍🧦
This is my favorite car, I love 71 challengers
All cars are worth restoring to me
If miles are correct. Hard to believe all the parts removed and the car failed at such low miles. I’d like to see the full history involved. Who parked it there and why. Great videos guys.
Looks to me like somebody was going to paint it
That's what happens when you store your car over a dirt and gravel floor. My 71 Demon 340 has 14,400 original miles, and it's still like new, but it's always been garaged and driven a few hundred miles every year. Not a bit of rust. None! I've owned many Mopar muscle cars since 1971 and with the exception of my brother's 70 Dart Swinger they've all held up well. His car was driven every winter in Northern Ohio and the frame rusted out in 8 years around the torsion bar anchor. I owned 2 Demons 1971, 2 Chargers 1971, 1972, 73 Valiant and none were that rusty even with 120,000 plus miles.
Maybe this Challenger has 127,000 miles on it?
No way that is an original 19,000 miles the wear on the carpet on the driver's side shows a lot of wear.
It's been turned over at 100000 Miles
@@grantcoles8830 I dunno. I would think the driver's seat would be a lot more worn if the odo had gone around.
I don't know the story of why it was left to rot away.... Breaks my heart to see such a low mileage car in this condition
Like what you guys are doing. 1964 impala ss is my dream car . Last car my father ever built. Right now I'm in the works of cloning his last car in rememberence. He showed me around so many classics but the 64 impala hard top ss was a jewel in my eyes when I was 7. Cragar ss rims are a must. Big body and still fast.
You guys knock it out of the park everytime, amazing job...
The car is restorable, new trunk and floor pan, maybe rear frame rails.
You'd have to have the skill to do it yourself as its a lot of labor cost.
Likely 119,000 miles. Older cars did not have the extra digit for 100K+ miles
With all the damage and rust, I also was thinking the same.
The vinyl top may push it over the top for being unrestorable.
You gentlemen did a seriously GREAT GREAT JOB🤩🤩🤩🤩
Definitely restore! Way too nice to part out, especially a 71 Challenger with a manual transmission
There should be jail for anyone who lets such a beautiful car rot.
A beautiful, iconic classic that should be saved..I'm sure its inherent potential value will do just that..UK
I had a '72 Challenger and I loved that car. I think it's worth restoring if that's what you're in to.
Jesus Christ loves you ❤
Amen
No diddy?
@@ryanlong4896 what
Amen
Nobody asked
Definitely restore this masterpiece 100%
Def worth restoring look at the paint come to life absolutely amazing
Definitely worth restoring! My favorite american muscle car is 1970 Chevelle SS 454 !
MINE ALSO WAS THE
1970 CHEVELLE LS6 454. I LEARNED HOW TO DRIVE ON A PLAIN
1970 CHEVELLE COUPE
NO POWER STEERING
AND A 250 STRAIT SIX.
Great job cleaning the car up! It would not take much to get this car back on the road now. It looking good and highlighting how good the appearance is a real help motivating the restorer.
Mark from Graveyard Cars needs to see this!!
My 62 Thunderbird is close to my heart. Had it in my senior year of High School
Cleaning and restoring cars is satisfying.
Wow that car is so bad for it having low mileage. More like 119,000 miles because those old speedos didn't have a 6th digit. P.S. those wheel covers in the trunk are for a 66 Pontiac LeMans or Tempest or GTO.
Yes i doubt thats a real 19k mile car, the engine compartment and the interior would never look like that. And supposedly it was in a garage all that time ?
I have SO many dream muscle cars, but my mom had a 1969 Roadrunner 426 Hemi with the A-833 4 speed manual, my dad had a 1957 Chevy 210 Post with a 327 4 speed manual, my mom also had a 1970 Mach 1 Mustang with the 351C and a 4 speed manual, and while I have MANY favorites, mine would be either a 69 Olds 442 with a big block manual trans, or a 1970 GTO Judge big block manual trans. I have always been a sucker for a stick car.
Super Video Thank you 🥰😍😚👍👌🤟
i had a 318 fireball v8 headders and 4bbl with good distributor = very powerful engine in my 1965 ap6 safari wagon regal model .
I truly hope someone is restoring this beaut.
Wooooorth saving these cars are time capsules, ever with all the necessary restoration
Love that voice though a mask! Good on you guys for wearing face and mouth protection.
these are great videos , this is my 4th video I am watching , you guys do alot for these old cars .
Restore it completely make it work perfectly ❤
1970 Pontiac GTO Judge in orange is my favorite muscle car.
dream car, 1970 Challenger, i def gotta get one of those shirts
I used to own a 1970 Challenger R/T with a 426 Hemi 4 speed orange in Colour. Fun to drive
In cleaning I mean.. keep doing what you do, you are great
1969 z28 camaro has been my dream car since I was 12 years old
A very nice restoration, it takes sometime for completion, doing it Gradually makes it a perfect restoration. I used to do it before, on your age, ( early 60s now)as a hobby, I was fired up in doing car projects. Keep it up guys. Couldn’t wait at the outcome.😊
I got a 1968 Plymouth belvidere and it is the best for sure.
Very great work cleaning as always, This Challenger is a muscle car history, a legendary.
Thank you for sharing and your appreciation to your subscribers who watch your videos😢
Amazing Job! His reaction was great!
Worth all the work it needs
700k subscribers. Wow you guys deserve it and sooooo much more. Ford Mustang all the way. 😎
Brought it back to life
Love the attention of the detail, great job 👍
Love the Dodge chargers
Would love to see a FULL restore of this car.
Its worth saving. it just needs a floor pan and a ton of love by a fab shop.
Favorite muscle car of all time is the Pontiac GTO 2nd Gen (1968 - 1972). These cars had great sleek styling while being very light (for the time), giving them great potential in power to weight... The Pontiac Royal Bobcat was the pinnacle with a 390-horsepower 428 cu in V8.
That car is worth saving. Aftermarket sheetmetal for the floors and trunk area are available. Unless someone is doing a "revival", just getting that car to run for a few hundred miles, they'll rebuild/replace that motor and possibly the transmission. A lot of Mopar folks love rebuilding those engines and they end up in better than original condition. Yeah, that's worth saving...
The right person who has the skill and 💰 could really have a gem in this car. It’s also worth a lot in parts.
You guys are masters,look how nice it turns out, ...
Fav muscle car: 1972 Javelin. My brother had one.
I had a 71 Challenger 440 auto, track pak car and drove it for years then I took the motor out and did the whole race car thing. Cage, High compression got it to run 10:20 at 140mph in the 1/4. Ended up selling it to a friend of mine who drag raced it for years with a B1 motor then he put it all back stock and he still has it...!!
I love them R/T and the SRTs
Hey guys, I received my Death Trap t yesterday and it is amazing. Very good fit and it looks great. Thanks for this one!
