Found a pre-resto pic

I would have bought that GY3 car assuming that it was the original color! The one I owned was GB2 with a B7 interior, way too much blue for my tastes

My wild a** guess would be around $3-5k... Someone would really HAVE to have one of those cars really badly to spend any kind of coin on either of those cars. Now, if they were one ofthe very rare '71-2 4-spd wagons, that would be a different story! I know of a '71 Satellite wagon that was on Long I...

Very nice! Can't wait to get my GTX to that stage

Neat cars, but I doubt they will fetch the money that these folks are looking to get... I owned a '71 Satellite Custom wagon several years ago that had less than 8k original miles on it that I bought for $500.00. Pretty unique car, was a 225 slant 6, 3-spd manual on the column, 3.55 open, AC, AM/FM,...

BTW- the GTX has Scheduled Production Date of C17 and the Charger RT was 503, maybe the H-pipe was used early on and then later switched to the two headpipes?

Inquiring minds want to know

OK, dug out a copy of the BS from my old '71 Charger RT U-code 4-spd car. I would imagine that the GTX and RT used the same headpipes, correct? The Charger RT codes: EXHAUST LT-93 RT-76 Does anyone have the 1971 parts book handy to see what the above part #'s are? Since my GTX has code 00 under the ...

Don't know why I didn't check my Broadcast Sheet before, but here is what it shows:

EXHAUST ----- TAILPIPE
LT-00 RT-01 ----- LT-03 RT-02

Well, the reason I assumed they came with H-pipes is because my '71 has an H-pipe that sure looks OEM, it even has the torsion bar flats/crush spots.

So, does that mean they came with TWO H-pipes? LOL Well, at least the headpipes are 2.5"...

Did '71 U and V-code B-bodies use H-pipes from the factory? I know that '70-1 Hemi E-bodies used H-pipes while all of the other engines used seperate headpipes and '68-70 B-bodies used H-pipes on all 440 and Hemi cars, but I can't find any info on the later B-bods. Any '71 GTX survivors out there? :...

Almost ready to go

EAD (Engine Assembly Date)

G440
10 14 HP2

Casting date, month was never cast

I guess the G- St.Louis plant was a tad slow as the '71 G440HP2 engine I bought has a EAD of 10-14. It was out of a Feburary built car. That is a pretty good amount of time for the completed engine to sit around. Also. that fact that it came with the domed left cover is puzzling with such an early a...
