1800 mile Hemi 71 Challenger for sale

Suppose I'd have to see it in person (see MacGyver's comments above). But, from that photo, I like what I see. Sure it is not a "high impact" color, but I like the stealthy dressed down look to it. I will still stick with my original estimate (all lacking in any kind of knowledgeable foundation )

You sure it wasn't the 72 roadrunner that was horrid, not the color? j/k...=

LOL, but Joe, how good would that color look on one of the (5) 1972 440-6 Road Runners built that year? hell, you could spray those cars with the bottom of a bucket that has water with cigerette butts and we would all take one!

i think the Golds and Browns are finally getting respect in the market. hell, i look at VIN's on mopars every chance i get and it seems every factory gold/brown/light yellow car is now red or blue. the Challenger looks beautiful in the pic. painted steel wheels look terrific!

How can you tell colors by looking at VINs???

While not my first Choice, It does look killer in the pics.

........the color looks stomach-turning in person. And a matching brown vinyl top to boot! Ack! ..........
This is more of a Guldens Mustard meets the day-after, Chile cook off, bathroom explosion, color.
But hey, that's just one man's opinion.

LOL. Sorry about that, the color just brings back flashbacks of high school all over again.

I think it's interesting that some people have a problem with the color. It was a popular color for sedans and musclecars alike, like many earthtones that were popular during that time. While not red or a High Impact color, surely it's better than the '69 brown that some have brought up. I for one am not a fan of Tawny Gold, but under certain sunlight it really looks nice. The brown, in comparison, looks like a proper brown and is more drab. I think if it wasn't on a Camaro, people would feel differently.

Although I love the High Impact colors, I personally love that color, especially on the 71. Back in the day, my Dad had a 71 GTX in Spanish Gold with the same brownish top.

Go wing, chin spoilers, console mounted cassette, 15x7" Road Wheels and a whole lot more. I would LOVE to get my hands on that one now!

After he turned in that one, he had what may well be the gawd-awful worst 71 GTX ever built; Sand Pebble Beige with a brown interior, a black top and (cough-cough) 14" RWL Polyglas RWL tires with (ugh!) those hideous wire-wheelcovers! As a kid I can remember wondering how could one 71 GTX be so cool while another was so ugly?

Now THAT is the definition of Fugly!
