how much is a 1971 dodge challenger rt worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on my research of recent 1971 Dodge Challenger RT sales and listings, here's what they're worth:

**Current Market Range: $38,500 – $109,000+**

The value varies significantly based on condition, originality, and equipment:

• **Project/Restoration cars** (like our subject car): ~$38,500–$49,500
• **Driver-quality restored examples**: ~$60,000–$85,000  
• **Highly restored or custom builds**: ~$95,000–$110,000+

**Specific comps:**
- **$38,500** – The Tawny Gold 440 6-Pack we're discussing (needs restoration, non-original engine, but well-documented) [Listing Here](https://classic.com/veh/1971-dodge-challenger-rt-js23v1b350729-4Md02Mp/)
- **$49,500** – Another 1971 RT from same seller (needs restoration) [View Here](https://classic.com/veh/1971-dodge-challenger-rt-js23v1b202913-nQdMKv4/)
- **$62,700** – Sold at auction with 440 Six Pack, 5-speed, and modifications [Sold Comp](https://classic.com/veh/1971-dodge-challenger-rt-js23n1b112313-nKjRX54/)
- **$108,998** – Fully customized with modern ProCharger supercharger (~700hp) [View Here](https://classic.com/veh/1971-dodge-challenger-rt-js23n1b177334-4Djr06W/)

The **1971 RT is a rare muscle car** – only about 250 were built with the 440 Six Pack option, making them highly desirable. Numbers-matching cars command premiums. Our subject car at $38,500 represents a solid entry point for someone wanting to restore a documented genuine RT.
