This is a 1970 Challenger Convertible that is a factory 6 cylinder car with a 3 speed manual trans.  They only made "91" 6 cylinder 3 speed manual challenger ragtops in 1970.   The original /6 is long gone.  The original 3 speed manual trans is still in the car with all linkage hooked up.   The car has an 8 3/4 in it now.  No idea what is has for gear ratio as we have not checked.  The challenger comes with a 1972 340 engine.  The prior owner stated it is a forged crank 340.  Engine needs a complete rebuild and I have no history on the motor except that is came out of a Challenger. 

    This convertible is a project car.  A project car that is located in the Northest and has probably spent a considerable amount of time here.  It has most of the convertible specific parts and they are in pretty nice shape with exception of the sunvisors.  The rear view mirror bezel is missing.   The car is a power top car and the convertible motor is still in place. The lines are however cracked and therefore the top now goes up and down by hand.  The convertible frame appears to be in very nice condition.  The convertible windshield trim inner and outer is very nice. The rear convertible trim is there as well and only needs a couple dings banged out and repolished.  The convertible rear door panels have speaker holes in each one.  One is brown and has been dyed, the other is an original black one.  The rear convertible seat has a solid frame and also has the boot channel intact.  The car comes with a new convertible white top with glass back window.  The seat cores are in good condition. Front door panels are very nice.  The side glass is in pretty good shape with minimal scratches.  It has all the convertible specific glass.  The front windshield is there but will probably need a new one. 

    The body needs considerable work.  The rear of the car was hit as some point and the tailight panel is tweaked as you can see in the pics.  At the the time of the accident it must have went off the road as the rear frame rails are bent towards the end of the car.  The car needs a whole new trunk floor and extensions so ideally the car should have the one piece trunk floor and frame rails assembly offered from Dynacorn installed as you will cure the frame rail issues and sheet metal at the same time.  It is only $1300 for this piece and will cure the two aforementioned issues.  The floorpans needs replacing as well.  The cowl has a portion replaced around the booster area that was cut out of another challenger but was not welded in yet.  The front frame assembly is very straight and solid.  The inners fenders have been worked at some point and show signs of excessive bodywork.  They should be replaced.  The fenders, doors and quarters have all been patched and are in rough condition.  The challenger hood looks ok and the trunk lid is useable as well.   The car is a major project however is a good starting point and has 99% of the hard to find convertible parts included.  The car come with a radiator core.  The heater box is also in very good condition. 

   There are some extra parts that will be included in the trunk consisting of vents, original weatherstripping front valence, etc.   The 340 engine will be installed in the engine bay for transport only.  It will not be running.  

   The car has the original fender tag, and all body numbers match the VIN.  There is no broadcast sheet.

   I am listing this car for my brother as he has decided to focus on a different car he is restoring. 

THE WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE CHALLENGER ARE NOT INCLUDED.  THEY GO ON MY CAR AND ARE ONLY USED FOR ROLLERS CURRENTLY.  The car will have four rollers that hold air installed on the car upon shipping. 

    There is NO title for this car.   Titles are not needed in Maine and this car has been in storage for 20 years.   The owner will be provided a valid maine registration and bill of sale.  This will typically be enough to register a car in your state.  Do your due dilligence prior to bidding.  Please come and inspect the car if you are concerned with its condition.  It is a major project but a worthy restoration candidate.   There is no brakes and does not run consider that when setting up a shipping company.

Dodge Demon test mule spotted wearing unusual camouflage

Thu, Feb 23 2017

The Dodge Demon apparently refuses to stay under wraps. The endless rollout of teasers continues each Thursday, but thanks to both Vin Diesel and our trusty spy photographer we have a whole suite of photos that show a nearly complete car in the flesh. This car appears to have been hiding in plain sight, as some of these photos were captured in the Detroit area. The car or cars in these photos is far less polished than the one shown in all of Dodge's teasers. The Air Grabber hood is unpainted, though it does come with some awesome hood pins. The same goes for the bolt-on fenders, as other pictures show a cleaner integration of the Demon's widebody modification. Despite the large Nitto logo on the top of the windshield, the cars in these photos are both wearing a set of Pirelli PZero All-season Plus tires on non-Demon wheels. It's as if drag radials aren't the best choice for winter driving. This car is fitted with two-piece Brembo brakes, but there's no telling if they're different than the standard Hellcat's. The decals on the side of the car may give clues to some of the Demon's equipment, but based on the LB Performance - commonly known as Liberty Walk- logo, the decals are likely more of a ruse than anything else. Liberty walk is famous in the tuning community for big, bolt-on body kits. The looks perfectly suit these test cars, though Borla exhaust and a Hurst shifter would be a wonderful addition to the Demon. Outside of that, there isn't much new to glean from these photos. Most of our questions about the Demon (horsepower, gearing, price) can't be had from pictures. Look for more news each Thursday in the lead up to the car's debut in New York in April.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

FCA recalls 1.1 million vehicles worldwide due to confusing shifter

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Fiat Chrysler is recalling 1.1 million vehicles worldwide to address the problematic shifter used on cars with eight-speed automatic transmissions. The issue is that the console-mounted shifter acts like a rocker switch and always returns to the middle position after moved. This has been deemed confusing to drivers – confusing enough to cause some to exit their vehicles without first selecting Park and leading to the car rolling away. FCA says 41 injuries are related to the shifter problem, and no evidence of equipment failure has been found. The company will enhance warning chimes and alter the shift strategy, meaning alert messages will be displayed in case the driver door is opened while the engine is running. With the door open, the transmission will prevent the car from moving even if Park is not selected. The affected vehicles are certain model-year 2012–2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans, as well as model-year 2014–2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs, an estimated 811,586 US vehicles in total. The recall also affects 52,144 vehicles in Canada, 16,805 in Mexico, and 248,667 vehicles elsewhere. The shifter is used with ZF-designed and ZF-built eight-speed automatic; Audi uses a similar shifter setup in some of its vehicles, including the current-generation, which predated Chrysler's use of it. Chrysler uses a different, a rotating-dial-type shifter on eight-speed-equipped Rams. The company moved away from the problem shifter design in 2015 for the Charger and 300, and the Grand Cherokee's shift lever was modified for 2016. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall when service is available. Fiat Chrysler urges customers to follow the instructions in the vehicle's owner's manual in the meantime.
