 70 Challenger, it has a refreshed low mileage 1965 413 engine.  New bearings, rings, swapped on 906 heads to lower the compression, head gaskets, high volume oil/water pumps.  Fresh pro built 727, kevlar bands, red alto clutches, cheetah full manual valve body.  Both engine/trans have under 150 miles.  Has a factory high stall converter from a roadrunner, 10".  The engine was factory rated at 360 horsepower, 470 torque, but now has a larger split duration cam, headers, new edelbrock 750 carb, aluminum single plane intake, hei style stand alone electronic distributor.  It revs like a 383 but has the torque of a 440. 

3" summit exhaust system with mufflers.  New gas tank, original good working 3/8 sending unit.  New carter fuel pump, mechanical.  New door/window/trunk seals.  Champion radiator and clutch style cooling fan.  Driveshaft(balanced before being installed)has the larger 7290 u-joint, 8-3/4 rear.  Swapped to later slide type front disc brakes, slotted front rotors, 11" drums in the rear.  All new/rebuilt brake parts, wheel cylinders and hardware.  Front suspension is all rebuilt, bushings, tie rods etc.  All has been painted with por 15 including rear housing.  Has welded in 2x3 frame connectors, they do come up through the floor behind the seats which is covered by the carpet. 

Bucket seats with new covers, new headliner, carpet and so on.  Pioneer cd player with aux input.  Does have a dash cap, not glued on, I had planned to send the pad out to have it redone, but looks ok as is.  After market gauges except it has the original speedometer and the original mileage is 40,9xx.  No heater box in the car, it is a factory ac car, but no parts remaining in the car from ac except firewall openings are covered, not welded/bolted, so easily removed.  Has the factory tinted glass that came in ac cars.  Window cranks not on in pic, but will be installed.  Hurst unimatic shifter in the floor, cable operated.

It sat for many years and became someones parts car.  Originally triple green.  Now black with matte black T/A stripes and hood.  It did have the lower quarters, trunk floor and partial front floor pans replaced.  Had some work around the window openings from the vtop holding moisture, deck filler/dutchman.  Valances front and rear are new goodmark pieces.  Fenders and doors and hood all were replaced and nice solid original parts.  Hood is steel with a bonded ta style scoop, used 50 dollar a tube fibertech fiberglass to smooth out.  The car was on a rotiserrie, underside blasted, por-15 painted then topped with rock it bed liner, looks like undercoating, but much easier to keep clean!  Has dupont base/clear, same black paint as a buick grand national.

Tried to list all the flaws.  I don't want to leave things out, may sound like it needs a lot, but it's a nice driver you can take to local shows and be proud of, yet not too nice you'd be afraid to drive it.  Why buy a project car that the paint and body work will cost more than one you can hop in and drive! 

Wheels are 15x7 cop style with new white letter cooper cobra tires, 235/60 and 255/60s.  Trim and bumpers were painted black, bumpers were made to look like factory rubber bumpers, but have the bolts showing so it would be easy to replace with chrome if wanted.  And trim that's blacked out can be bought new.  It's certainly no show car, I built it to drive and enjoy.  Trunk is bedlined so I wouldn't have to worry about scratching it if I wanted to use it to haul anything.  It could use some detail work or things changed to meet your tastes, like the trim is painted black on the hood/trunk areas.  Being an original 318 car, you can drive and enjoy it like these cars were made to do. 

Title in hand, I've owned the car since 06 and complete last March, it is PA inspected and I drive it 4-5 times a week locally.  I have not driven it further than 20 miles on any drive, so not sure I'd want to drive it cross country yet.  Immediate paypal deposit if you use the buy it now.  I will accept cash or cashier check, car/title will not leave my possession until the money has cleared to my account... cash at pickup would be ideal. 

Additional pics to show when it was painted before assembly.  Also one pic with a set of 17x7 and 20x8 us mag wheels, buyer can opt to get the car with the cop wheels or the us mag wheels, but only 1 set included on the car.

Lots of new parts, the car was completely disassembled to a shell while restoring it.  Inside the frame was coated with por-15 where accessible.  Inside of the quarters also.  I built the car to last.

I don't need to sell the car, so I won't give it away... but at 6'5", I find b-bodies more comfortable, so if I sell it, I will paint my 68 sport satellite and use it for my summer cruiser.  I also enjoy building them more than driving them.  I would consider partial trades, 68-70 b-bodies would be at the top of the list, but not valued over 10k, prefer a 70 roadrunner project.  Would consider other projects.   Possibly a wrecked 08 and up challenger srt/rt. Maybe even a built ls1 trans am.  Not really interested in imports.  Possibly take an R1, CBR1000 or 1 liter bike on trade towards it also... Never hurts to ask, but not looking for just anything and nothing over over 10k.

Was made an offer I agreed to and buyer found another car he wanted instead... so the car is being relisted.  This is the last time I will run the ad.  The price is firm at 16500, not accepting offers, this is my bottom dollar.  If you use the buy it now option, you will have to pay $500 immediately and this is non refundable!  So be 100% sure you are going to buy the car. 

Also I live about 2.5 hours from Carlisle.  Chrysler at Carlisle is next month and I would have no problem keeping the car here until then.  Fly in, drive it to Carlisle and drive it home.  I can also assist in shipping if needed.  There is an airport 10 mins from my house and a train station 5 mins away.

Junkyard Gem: 1978 Dodge Tradesman Custom Van

Fri, Nov 4 2016

The custom-van craze was huge in California, back in the 1970s, and plenty of folks who would never have considered getting zonked on Acapulco Gold while listening to Elephant's Memory ended up buying Econolines and Beauvilles and Tradesmen with shag carpeting, bubble windows, and wild graphics. In fact, van buyers could get that stuff right from the factory. Most of those vans are gone now, but I found this used-up '78 Dodge in a self-service wrecking yard in California's Central Valley. Owners of custom vans felt strongly about their rides back in the Malaise Era. This one has the look of a vehicle that was used for beer-and-burned-meat-heavy tailgate parties at Oakland Raiders games. Such service is rough on a van. Try to picture this interior when it was new and plush, not the way it looks now. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat X is 805-hp worth of charity [w/video]

Mon, Jul 20 2015

Donating to charity is good for the soul. You feel good and help out those in need, and while you should donate out of the goodness of your heart, there's nothing wrong with getting something in return. That's doubly true if that something (or somethings) happen to run on gasoline... a lot of gasoline. For just $3 (plus $40,000 in taxes), you could park not one, but two high-powered Mopars in your driveway. The big item, of course, is the world's most powerful Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Dubbed the Hellcat X after the XF6F, a twin-charged US Navy prototype that evolved into the Hellcat fighter from World War II. Its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 has been supplemented by a turbocharger, boosting output to 805 horsepower. Because, you know, 707 just wasn't quite enough. It should be noted that the Hellcat X isn't a production model – Fiat Chrysler isn't going to be putting a twin-charged Hemi into production – but that it's a one-off job built for the 2015 Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle. Joining the Hellcat X is a handsome, black 1970 Challenger 440 R/T. Complete with a four-barrel carburetor (yeah, we were hoping for a Six Pack, as well), a pistol-grip shifter, and menacing black paint, this exact car was the star of 2012's "Revolution Reborn" television spot. And if this car's on-air claim to fame isn't enough, rest easy knowing you're the owner of just one of 100 black 440 R/Ts produced in 1970. Now, single tickets do start at $3, although there are larger bundles available, including a $5,000, 6,000-ticket package. Proceeds from the drawing, which is being put on by Dream Giveaway, will go towards New Beginning Children's Home charity, which issues grants to everything from the National Guard Educational Foundation to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. You can check out more on the Hellcat X in the video, below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
