1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible #'s Matching Beautiful Rare on 2040-cars
Pascoag, Rhode Island, United States

Rare Dodge Challenger Convertible Slant 6. Car is in excellent condition. I have too many classics and need to make some room. This car is too nice not to be driven or shown. I had a full restoration done on this car about 2 years ago and I'm lucky if I drove it 20 miles. I pulled it out to check everything and all checks out fine. The only thing I noticed was the snaps that mount to rear panel that top boot cover snaps to are in a bag in the trunk and not installed. I never noticed after restoration because I never put the top down. There is also a little staining on intake manifold under air cleaner where some gas leaked when engine was installed. This Challenger has a matching numbers drive train. I forgot where the numbers were so didn't take picture but I can guarantee that they are all there and match as I witnessed all numbers during restoration to make sure (radiator support, cowl, engine, transmission, rear end, all match). The car is restored to what it was when new. When I bought it the car was still wearing it's original paint. The only questionable thing is the bumble bee stripe. The fender tag does not call for it but as I said the car had it's original paint and the stripe was on it painted the way they did back in 1970, so I figured either the dealership added the stripe or the factory. I saved the original trunk lid with stripe for anyone who wanted to check. This car was found in a barn in southern Rhode Island. The car had not seen the road since the 70's. I paid someone a finders fee and 20k for the car and then sent it to the restoration shop for a rotisserie nut and bolt restoration.

There are very few left, especially full matching numbers. Most people pulled out the slant engines and put a big block in the car since all convertibles were set up with torque boxes to receive all engines. When was the last time you saw one with full matching drive train? I have a Hemi clone convertible and this Slant car get's all the attention. It's just refreshing to see a car that is what it was and nothing more. There was a write up in Hemmings about a similar car from Massachusetts that had similar options but engine was not matching, it was also featured in Mopar Magazine, I believe. In any case a refreshing original change. I know how hard it can be to buy a car on the internet. I have bought many from honest sellers and 1 from a not so honest seller. I will answer any questions and invite you to view the car for inspection. If you need to fly in to view, I can assist.

Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
Custom 2014 Dodge Durango R/T proves SEMA can be subtle
Thu, 07 Nov 2013The annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas can often be a sensory overload of overwrought madness, with cars that don't even look drivable anymore. But every once in a while, a modestly modified show car graces our presence, like the customized Dodge Durango you see here, which, in addition to giving us our first glimpse at the aftermarket possibilities for the refreshed-for-2014 model, proves that a car doesn't have to be slammed, scooped, donked and Lambo-doored to have presence.
Sure, this Durango has custom hood inserts, dark 22-inch wheels and custom fender flares, but as far as external modifications go, that's it. Inside, Dodge has fitted new door sill guards, an ambient lighting kit, bright pedals, premium floor mats and - of course - Katzkin leather. The automaker has even added wireless internet connectivity as part of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system.
Performance upgrades are minimal on this Durango R/T, which comes packed with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Larger brakes have been fitted, as have lowering springs (though it certainly doesn't look that much lower) and a custom exhaust.
Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
