1971 XR7 hardtop project

Even though I have been a member for 10 years, I am starting my first project here. I picked it up in Memphis last weekend


, but it is from Las Vegas and has very little rust! It is a XR7 with a 351C 4V and C6 auto. Currently rebuilding the engine, while trying to freshen up the interior that the NV sun cooked.

Some interior pics…


Door panels are needing some love, but are not too bad.


Looks solid. Good luck with the new project!

Good luck! Looks solid

Engine work…



Nice car. I have a 73 that the body is pretty shot but the interior is in great shape, less the dash pad. That block almost looks freeze cracked by the freeze plugs.
