Notes
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to present this gorgeous Dark Blue Metallic 1971 Dodge Charger for sale. Based on what the decoded fender tag indicates, this car is nearly the same as it was when it rolled off the manufacturing line in 1971! It appears to have been a special-order configuration, based on the Sold Car designation (code Y14) on the fender tag, since its a base Charger with some premium options. For starters, the 300HP 383 CID V8 with 4BBL carburetor (codes N1E and E65) was not the standard engine in a base Charger, nor was the Heavy Duty Automatic Transmission (code D32). Its painted in its original Dark Blue Metallic (GB7), but the original (white) Vinyl Canopy Roof (V4W) is no longer present; nor are the original black Accent Stripes (V7X) or Belt Moldings (M31), but frankly, it presents a nice clean look without those items. Inside, the original (blue) Luxury Cloth/Vinyl Bench Seat (D3B5), along with the rear seat, have been recovered in an attractive white synthetic leather, which adds a nice contrast to the rest of the blue interior (and the blue exterior). In fact, we like the looks better than the original seats, and the full synthetic leather seating is easier to clean than the original vinyl-trimmed cloth seating. This car was ordered with factory air conditioning (H51), but the compressor has been replaced with a modern one, which supports R134a refrigerant. It will need a coolant recharge to get it blowing ice cold though. An electric pusher fan has been added in front of the A/C condenser and 26-inch radiator (code 26 on the fender tag), which aids in cooling for both components. In addition to those option codes, it was also ordered with dual exhaust (code N41) and the Noise Reduction Package (code N97), so someone ordered just what they wanted. This sleek Charger comes with Power Steering, Power Brakes, and Seatbelts, and is riding on some chromed Cragar mags that are shod with modern Radial Tires. If youre a Mopar enthusiast and you want the full fender tag decoding, call or email us and well be happy to send it to you. This 1971 Dodge Chargers originality, clean looks, and unique features make it worth a look!

Bought a vehicle based on Gateways description and pictures 2 weeks ago. I live 1100 miles away, so I was trusting their word. What a big mistake!Vehicle was listed as a "fresh restoration in May 2016". The salesman(Brad at the Tampa branch)assured me this car was in great "show" condition. On arrival, the vehicle barely started, had no turn signal lights, instrument cluster lights, console lights, reverse lights,or functioning horn. Fuse box is completely rusted out. Their description said it had a Holley 850 CFM carburetor, but it a 670 CFM, and it's shot. Transmission, power steering , and radiator all leaking. They attempted to plug up the leaks with gasket sealant. Some linkage under the vehicle was held together with a wire and bent nail. Both exhaust brackets broken. AC and heat had been ripped out of the vehicle. Emergency braking system completely removed. Rear leaf spring broken. Windshield washer system also completely removed. And the engine has a knocking noise. My mechanic gave me an estimate of nearly $7000 dollares to bring this vehicle just up to specs. I forwarded the estimate to Gateway per their request. 2 days later, they called me back and said their is nothing they could do for me. That I signed a sales contract, so I'm just xxxx out of luck. They say it's not their fault the previous owner told Gateway inaccurate information regarding this car. By the way, the previous owner was the car "restorer". And i use this word extremely loosely. I purchased this vehicle for almost $30,000. I didn't purchase a project car. I'm so disgusted with this company and customer relations. And based on other complaints on this website about them, this seems to be a common practice for them. I really hope people who read this shop somewhere else, and pass the word on to friends and family. Gateway Classic Cars is a SHADY, CROOKED , company!!!
