I searched for a few weeks to find the last owner of the 71 Charger R/T. I had some registration cards to go off of and the internet and got to work.
I found his wife and kids on Facebook and messaged them to no avail but in the car was a stack of receipts and one (from the 80s) had a phone number. I called and guess who picked up. Yup, the last owner.
I asked if he knew who bought it new and he replied that he did. It was awesome talking to the original owner. He had some great stories and history of the car. He still had the original radio in his garage! No paperwork though. Said he gave it to the guy he sold the car to in the early 90s.
Talking to him has helped with options on the car since I didn't find a build sheet. The pic helped too since it was taken soon after bringing it home.
Well anyway, here's the pic.
