Here is a 1970 Dodge Challenger with its original matching numbers 318 V8 engine and matching 3-speed manual transmission on the floor. It is F8 dark green with green interior, and originally had a white vinyl top. The car has power steering, manual drum brakes, music master am radio, fender mounted turn indicators, console option, and six-way seat adjuster. The car is about 97% complete and includes some extra parts (missing some trim and air cleaner), and it has a Connecticut title, fender tag, door decal, dash VIN, and radiator stamping that all match. The car is ready for a full restoration back to original, or a great candidate for a T/A or RT clone. The car has been stored many years and does not run, so the buyer will need to make arrangements to have the car transported. Here are some more details on the car to go with the photos. PLEASE BE ADVISED VEHICLE NEEDS A COMPLETE RESTORATION INCLUDIBNG RUST REPAIR, VEHICLE DOES NOT RUN.

Fender Tag codes Read:

C62- 6-way seat adjuster, G34- Left hand outside racing mirror, L31- Fender mounted turn signals, M21- roof drip rail moldings, R11- Music master AM radio, V5F- Body side moldings green, V1W- Full vinyl top white, A01- Light package, A04- Basic radio group, A05- Protection group, C16- Console with buckets, C55- Bucket Seats, EF8- Paint Code Dark green metallic, H6F8- Trim grade high, vinyl buckets green, 000- Full upper door, 615- Build date, 116657- Order #, E44- 318 2-barrel, D13- 3-Speed manual floor

The frame: the frame overall all is quite solid, with three small areas that I noticed that have some rust. First is a spot on the top of the frame rail just below the battery tray(common spot), second is a spot on the passenger side frame extension, and the third is a spot in the bend of the frame by the left rear tire. (see pics that correspond with these areas) The trunk floor needs replacement but frame underneath looks pretty good.

Body: The body needs a full restoration. All the panels look original with probably a repaint at some point.  Because of the vinyl top there is rust in the front pillars and a hole on the rear passenger side of the roof. The filler panel behind the vinyl top trim looks good though. Fortunately there are roof repairs panels available now. The drivers inner front fender (affects battery tray, hood hinge, etc) needs to be replaced. The front floorpans have surface rust but no holes, and the drivers side rear floorpan does have rust  through and affects the inner rocker on that side.  The grill is in excellent shape, the firewall is solid, and the bumpers are pretty solid too. The original doors on the car are in decent shape. The hood and trunk lid are rough underneath, but I do have a bunch of extra used body parts that go with the car if the buyer wants them, including an extra trunk lid, front valence, rear valence for dual exhaust, two front fenders, and two extra doors)

Interior: All the original seats and panels appear to be in the car, except for the carpet and headliner material. (the bows are still in place) The dash has some cracks in it, the glass is all there, original 3-speed console is in there too. The 6-way seat adjuster is still in place under the drivers seat. Obviously the interior needs to be restored as well. Sometime in the 70’s someone added a pioneer 8-track player under the dash and I still have it!

Drivetrain: The numbers matching engine and transmission are still in the car. The only modifications that were made were a 4-barrel intake and carb were added, plus and exhaust system with headers. The car hasn’t been run in many years so its safe to assume that they will need a rebuild. I was told the rear end is 8 3/4 . The car originally had steel wheels but now has a set of 14” rally wheels.

The buyer will get the CT title plus a bill of sale with purchase. The car is sold as is with no warranty, anyone is welcome to view the car by appointment, or I can send more photos if that is not possible. NOTE: If you have 0 or negative feedback on your account please contact me before bidding. The car must be paid for within 7 days of the end of the auction. The car can be picked up anytime during the day or evening, but preferably on the weekend.

Please contact me with any questions!

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.
