Hemi Challengers were exceedingly rare; this 1971 Hemi Challenger R/T, an original example with complete documented owner history, is one of just 70 built and one of only 49 known extant today. It is one of just six remaining examples factory finished in Black and, remarkably, it is also the only one known to still wear its original factory paint. The car was purchased new by a Joplin, Missouri, speed shop owner who displayed the car to attract customers; perhaps its most interesting owner was Susan Willey of Ohio, who bought the car in 1979, racing it at local tracks and maintaining it herself until selling it in 1993. Since then it has been stored and carefully maintained in Arizona’s car-friendly climes. Along with the standard R/T features that include high backed bucket seats, Rallye instruments and heavy duty suspension and brakes, this exceptionally rare original Hemi Challenger is equipped with its original drivetrain. The 426 Hemi engine was rebuilt in 2003 and is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission and the A34 Track-Pack Dana 60 rear end with 3.54 Sure Grip differential. It also retains the original interior, glass, seats, headliner, and carpeting. Showing fewer than 64,000 miles, this highly original Hemi Challenger is a prime candidate for any great Mopar collection.
