1971 Dodge Charger R/T 426 Hemi Pilot Car Muscle Car of the Week Video Episode # 111

There are many outstanding "Firsts" and "Lasts" in the Brothers Collection, but this car is a "First" twice, and a "Last" Once! This is the very first 1971 Dodge Charger Hemi, which is also the first year for the new body style, and the last year for the 426 Hemi engine! Being the pilot car, this one was not supposed to be sold to the public, as there are certain elements of the car that are not production ready. However, it made it our of the factory alive, and was even sold new a Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. It's a very cool story, and an even cooler car.

The coolest profile of ANY of the 60's-70's muscle cars. Ever. Menacing.

This is one of the best presentations I have seen, they go into a lot of detail and the presenter is experienced, smooth and most importantly, not irritating to listen to ! He seems to know his subject well in this presentation. Only critical thing I would add is that the music in the background is not necessary and rather detracts when trying to listen to the information given.

Car has an awesome stance, just looks GOOD. For whatever reason some other ones even after resto still don’t look like this one. Car is pretty badass.

Great one Kevin. I know Tim Wellborn let a few of his rare Chargers go but i was surprised by this one. Too bad you couldn't go down and do some video's at the Wellborn Collection as he is having a Aero Warrior Reunion between Oct 22-25th. Daytona's, Superbirds, Taledega's, Cyclones, etc. etc. will be there with some of the rarest on the planet. you for doing what you do and it's nice to see these rare cars actually have the pedal down. BRAVO!!!!

Car is beautiful, punch it and the ramcharger fresh air scoop opens and the production version had the best looking exhaust tips I've ever seen.

Somethings different about this episode, and I like it . Is it the music..videography.. timing??? The 71 Charger body in any form is one of my favorite Mopar's regardless, Thanks Kevin and team.

I hate how the third gen Chargers never receive any love. Guys on forums and in the comments section of vids like this are always talking about how Chrysler "ruined" the body style in 1971. I have a '72 and I get compliments on it all the time. I've never been anywhere and had someone say, "Gee, your third gen looks like crap compared to a second gen." A Charger is a Charger is a Charger. Sure, the fourth gens WERE crap, but by then who cares. Anything in my mind made prior to '74 is still a cool machine! This car is a "classic" (cliche alert) example of just that! And, with all due respect you can own these cars for a fraction of the cost of the second gens.

I have to say that the 1971-1974 Dodge Chargers are my #1 favorite Chargers of all time, especially the 1971 Dodge Charger R/T with a 425 HP 426 HEMI motor and/or the '71 Super Bee Charger with a 440 Six Pak motor. My grandfather had a 1973 Dodge Charger SE with a 318 2 barrel carb and a 3 speed automatic transmission. It was pretty slow but still a very cool car!

I looked up some of the differences between this and an actual production one. It's missing the X-brace in the doors, the trunk lid does not have the cut outs for the spoiler mounts, and it has the infamous left/right thread lugs (left thread on left side, vice versa on the right) that did not go into 1971 production. It also had 1970 dated glass and rear springs. There's probably more that it has that I didn't look up. Would've been cool to hear the differences
