All Out Chassis Race Car With Aluminum Panel Interior. We Are Looking To Get $40000 And That Is With A Trailer That Has A Tool Box And An Electric Winch On It. Everything Is Sold As Is. Dodge's first Challenger was released into the muscle car market in 1970; it was called the 1970 Dodge Challenger. Chrysler Corporation's Dodge division launched two distinct automobiles under the Challenger title. The first one, the 1970 Challenger was a relatively late entrant into the pony car market. Highly inspired by the E-body design of Plymouth Barracuda, Dodge's first Challenger had two inches of extra wheel base. In terms of design, the Dodge Challenger was only marginally different from the Plymouth Barracuda. The outer frame was designed by Carl 'CAM' Cameron, who also designed Dodge's flagship car the 1966 Dodge Charger. The grille of the 1970 Challenger was inspired by Cameron's earlier designs for the Charger which was originally intended to contain a turbine engine. The 1970 Challenger had a Six-Pack 340 in^A^3 (5.6 L) engine which was specially tuned to create a homologation racing Trans Am car; this feature was imparted solely to the 1970 Dodge Challenger. The car was placed with a massive hood scoop on a fiberglass hood. The front and rear wheels of the car were fitted with 'megaphone' exhaust outlets along with front and rear sway bars to enhance handling. The car's standard equipment included front ground effect spoilers and ducktail spoiler. The taillamps ran all the way across the back of the car and the backup light was placed at the centre of the rear. The back up lights was later changed in the 1971 and 1972 Dodge Challengers. Today the 1970 Dodge Challenger is much sought after by the avid collectors. Car enthusiasts are willing to drop big dollar for a mint condition 1970 Dodge Challenger and even its parts. By the time production of Dodge Challengers ceased in 1974, over 165,000 units had been sold, with over 80,000 units sold in its first year itself.

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat in the works
Fri, 25 Jul 2014In Autoblog's recent First Drive of the 2015 Challenger SRT with the 707-horsepower Hellcat V8 we found its engine to be as brutally powerful as the numbers would suggest, even if it wasn't the best handler. However, the muscle-car-styling just isn't right for some buyers that need four doors and proper rear seats to haul around the family. It appears that Dodge has their backs, though, because the Hellcat is very likely on its way into the Charger in the near future. Imagine the looks on your passengers' faces when you stomp down on the throttle.
According to Road and Track, when Dodge submitted the Hellcat for engine power certification to the Society of Automotive Engineers, the company included the Charger on the paperwork. That showed that the automaker wanted the engine checked out for the sedan, too. R&T reckons the 707-hp Charger would hit the road about a year from now, clearing the Challenger for a year of exclusivity with the powerplant.
When the Charger SRT Hellcat does hit the road, it may carry a very special accolade. Assuming nothing beats it in the meantime, it might be the world's highest horsepower production sedan. Think on that for a second. Even a Mercedes S65 AMG only has 621 horsepower, though a good bit more torque at 738 pound-feet to the Dodge's 650 lb-ft. So while the beastly engine is getting put into other models, where else would you like to see it? The Ram? Grand Cherokee? Let us know in Comments.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
