Looking on eBay at Chargers....I see more restored 71 R/T's and Super Bees for sale than I do good solid projects of "lesser pedigree" Its seemingly easier to find a restored 71 R/T than it is to find a decent 71 318 car.  |

Noticed the same thing after being out of the hobby for many years. Used to be big block cars were in the minority but times have changed. I have a feeling many good 318 cars have become donors. Saw it myself, an original low mileage 71 SE parted out because it was a 318 car that was worth more in parts.

Looked at 71-74 Chargers on eBay this evening.
7 of 12 were 71 R/T's or Super Bees. An eighth car is listed as an R/T but is a highly modded race car.

That is like the charger in Hermitage Pa. The only thing that I think is Super Bee on that car is the hood.

You will see more restored R/T's because I believe it just makes more financial sense to restore an R/T than a family model 318 Charger(not to say that a 318 car is not worth restoring). I restored my 1971 R/T and every body part that I replaced was the exact same part as a 318 car- Floor boards, rocker panels, inner + outer Wheel wells, trunk lid, Trunk floor, Quarter panels, etc. So if it costs the same to restore an R/T as a 318 car why not spend a few extra $$$ up front and start off with an R/T? Fact is with the exception of the drive train, hood, brake lights, doors, reenforced boxes for the frame and a few interior items all the parts are the same. Just my thoughts. I was thinking the same thing about Superbirds. I would love to get a beat up one in my price range and restore it over the years but like you said, try and find one that is not already been restored. |

Wait for the Wellborn unleashing to die down. It will go back to normal soon enough - only with a higher pricetag......
