Sign up: 1971 Dodge Charger - Show Car Detailing

[Mike Phillips]

Sign me up Mike it will be me and one of my co workers. I'm excited it worked out we will get to work on a MOPAR!

It will be good to see you again my friend.


To jog everyone's memory... Matt and his Dad were so kind as to bring their beautiful 1963 Studebaker Avanti to the set of My Classic Car so that Dennis and I could use it for two segments in 2014.

Here's the thread....

Here's the car....





Here's Matt, Dennis and Henry




Very cool indeed!

Thanks Mike,

I'm currently getting the Avanti ready for the Power Tour in June. The paint still needs more wet sanding and I'm probably going to see if I can get the Magnum 500 rims rechromed. I may just buy some Torque Thrusts.

I've been focused on mechanical stuff now it's time to get to cosmetics.

Good to hear Antti!


It's been great getting to know you and I appreciate how you always treat every car we work on here at Autogeek like it was your own.

Wish I lived in FL...

I always loved the 71-74 Chargers. The body lines always reminded me of a Coke bottle. My aunt and uncle had a light gold 73 with a 318 that they totalled back in the day. Even that big a car was no match for a snow plow in NY!

One thing I wondered about those Chargers is why there is a foot and a half of room between the radiator and the front bumper?

Is it just me?

Awesome ride anyway!

Ditto, on wishing I could take vacation days to come see this one worked on.

I've got a thing for old school Mopars from the horsepower war days. Thus one being all original is like finding a sasquatch.


All that room in front of the radiator is so you can stand in the engine bay while you work on it, LOL.

Seriously though, it made swapping cams or pulling engines a heck of a lot easier, as you didn't have to yank the front fascia.
