Description
Hello to you all,
Nice B bodies only site...
I bought this car from the original owner back in 2001 in good shape. I have made a few changes to the car as I removed the aluminum 14 inch slotted mags...ugh! Sorry, don't like the slots! Went with Crager S/S with BFG Radial T/As. The gas tank has been replaced. I removed the old offenhauser intake and finned valve covers that had been on the car since 1974 with an Edelbrock performer intake that I had powder coated, a set of chrome valve covers, Schumaker coated headers and a 3310 Holley carb.
The original owner special ordered the car as a stripped down SE with 383 mag. No power anything and manual everything! A real odd ball car, to say the least.
When he went to go pick it up they had made a few mistakes. First was a 440 mag instead of the 383 and the second one was that they had put black pin stripes on the car. Of course, I'm not complaining a bit about either one...
So, this is actually a quad black Charger!

This S/E is special for a few reasons , with 2 coming to my mind right off :
1. Los Angeles build . L.A. only built -- so I've heard -- 11 of the 52 "U" Code 1971 S/E Chargers ;
2. Its 21st May 1971 build date . For the L.A. plant , that's awful late , as the plant closed in July 1971 .
Of special note is the "N41" ( dual exhaust ) without the typical "N42" ( chrome tips )
which is typical for a California-destined car , and-or a Noise Reduction Package car .
Very nice Charger you've got there !
