1970 Dodge Challenger Pro Touring
This is a one of a kind built Pro Touring 1970 Dodge Challenger designed by Eric Brockmeyer with over $200,000
invested. This car features XV Motorsports Level II Suspension front and back, Level II brakes, a new Indy
Cylinder Heads all aluminum 528 cubic inch Street Legend Hemi, functional T/A hood with factory air cleaner and a
host of unique features. This was a ground up restoration with a real 1970 Challenger body disassembled and strip
at the start of the build. Paint and body work on this car are show quality. The vehicle took three years to
build and has 900 miles since the build. Never been shown or presented in magazines.
Make no mistake, this isn’t an amateur build with a few bolt-ons, this is a high end custom build with best of
the best components and unmatched engineering to deliver ride quality on par with modern performance vehicles.
Started with a rust free 1970 original Dodge Challenger, removed all the glass and completely disassembled the
complete car. All the undercoating was stripped from the undercarriage. Then all the paint was removed and soda
blasted the complete body. Cars by Haines painted the complete car and undercarriage Dodge Hemi Orange Pearl. The
bottom of the car looks and shines like the top.
The car is powered by a balanced and blueprinted Indy Cylinder Heads all aluminum 528 cubic inch Street Legend
Hemi. The engine is topped with a 850 Mighty Demon which puts out 730HP @ 6600 RPM with 660 Torque @ 4800 RPM on
92 octane pump gas.
The engine is mated to a hydraulically actuated Keisler TKO 5-Speed transmission which transfers power via an
aluminum driveshaft to a built 8-3/4 rear with a limited slip differential, alloy axles and 3.90:1 gear set.
Exhaust is handled by a set of, custom built by hand by James Vega, headers with 3” pipe out of stainless steel
with electric cutouts. The complete exhaust system, from the headers to the exhaust tips are stainless steel and
the cutouts allow you to adjust the exhaust to the sound you want.
The engine bay also features a Be Cool aluminum radiator with twin electric fans, March Serpentine system with all
billet components including the hood and trunk hinges.
Crockett’s Automotive provided the fuel system starting with a custom made stainless race baffled fuel tank by
Rick’s Tanks, El Paso, Texas. The tank has a 450 LPH fuel pump located inside the tank. While at Crockett’s
all new glass was installed with electric windows and door locks and the rest of the body parts were hung and
aligned.
This car features top of the line XV Motorsports Level II suspension system. Up front, this includes and aluminum
K-Member, billet Aluminum CNC’d upper control arms, forged aluminum spindles and lower control arms, quick ratio
variable rate power steering with adjustable bump steer, NASCAR style adjustable splined tubular sway bar with
billet aluminum arms and mounts.
The rear is XV Motorsports Level II suspension which is a three link design with adjustable panhard bar, billet
aluminum trailing arms, adjustable third link and an adjustable splined tubular sway bar with billet arms mounted
through the frame rails.
Both front and rear shock absorbers are custom calved, single adjustable nitrogen charged monotube coil-overs. The
coil-over feature allows for adjustable ride height. These shocks are road race quality, custom valved by
application, with matching spring rates that have been professionally tested on the track and street.
To allow the suspension to work its fullest, the car has a XV Motorsports Chassis stiffening system installed. The
system includes laser cut sub frame connectors contoured to the floor pan, inner fender braces.
Brakes are road race quality featuring 14” 6-piston in front and 13” 2-piston in the rear. Rotors are true two
piece design with billet hats and slotted discs. The pistons are sized to the application including the matched
master cylinder and use of hydro-boost. Since the brakes were professionally engineered for this car the result is
a vehicle that brakes hard and flat. System is plumbed with braided stainless hoses, stainless hard lines and high
temp fluid.
Wheels are custom Boze three piece billet aluminum 18” X 9.5” in front and 18” X 10” in rear with275/35-18
and 295/35-18 BF Goodrich KDW high performance tires

alarm system, powered door locks, power windows. Trunk on this car is fully carpeted with leather accents.

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep

Thu, 30 May 2013

The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars

Tue, Mar 10 2015

Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.

1 Of 1 Dodge Viper looks a fabulous mess in Chicago

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Earlier this year, we told you about the new Dodge Viper 1 Of 1 program, which offers buyers the chance to customize their supercars to the tune of some 25 million different combinations. With 8,000 paint colors, 24,000 hand-painted stripe patterns, 10 wheel options, and 16 interior trims to choose from, you'd be right to think that the possibilities for personalization are endless, and can probably get a little weird. That's kind of what's going on here in Chicago, with a Viper showcar that's definitely... unique. It doesn't really look bad, necessarily. It's just kind of strange. We call this color job, "Oh no, there are tiny paint cans falling from the sky, but I simply can't stop driving 200 miles per hour." And when it came time to spec wheels, it looks like FCA US said, "Aw heck, let's just use all of 'em." You'll definitely want to take a look at this unique creation, in the gallery above. And be sure to let us know if you think this Viper is hot or not, in Comments. Related Video:
