1970 Dodge Challenger R/t 426 Hemi on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 Hemi w/slapstick auto trans. The car has 34300 orig. miles on the odo and has not been on the road since 1975. It has been covered on blocks in a garage since that time. Interior because of that is in superb condition with only a small wear mark at the drivers left foot floor resting position, a bit of lightening of the driver’s door panel were the drivers arm rested on the sill and armrest also the headliner while undamaged in any way is pillowing in places. The exterior is straight BUT the car has had the paint, due I assume to needing some body work, redone on both sides of the car blended to the un-redone hood and trunk. As you can look at all of the big panels on these old muscle cars, the rear quarters and front fender inner‘ds can be looked at and no bodywork is evident. On the passengers door a scratch does reveal what could be either a primer/filler or sanding mark coat of body filler having been applied. I ran my CCTV scope inside both doors and if they were body worked you can’t tell were. Something has been done but since the original owner has passed we can only speculate. It has the shopping cart marks, for want of a better phrase, of a car that was until 1975 just a daily driver. Remember you are looking at what the car IS now, back then, it was just a car. The biggest issue as far as the car being a “Barn Find” dream is this; it DOES NOT HAVE MATCHING NUMBERS. The engine and transmission were replaced in early 1971 with a factory short block that has been massaged a bit, Iskenderian cam and lifter kit, Crower roller chain timing, Mallory Dual Point Ign. / Distributor. Also the oil lines where done up in Aeroquip and the pan oversized by 2 1/2 ”. The interior of the engine has all been de-flashed and coated for faster oil drain back. The orig. four barrel carbs were replaced with the racing versions but retained the progressive linkage that came stock including the trans kick-down linkage. Before I even turned the engine it was filled with 9+ gallons of oil held at 150 degrees F. for two days, then an electric drive motor ran the oil pump for an hour, then I rolled the engine over by hand for fifty revolutions. After that because the Torque-Flite B&M trans has a back pump, I turned the output shaft at a gradually increasing rate until it stalled by trying to turn the engine over. If you are old enough you will remember you COULD push start the old automatics, until it was cheaper to take out the back pumps. After the cooling system was cleaned, which other than some light dirt scale from being dry so long, it was refilled with 50/50 coolant, pressure tested to 20psi. With a fresh fill of high zinc and phosphorus break in oil and new filter she was ready for start-up. The points in the Mallory are perfect and just a dab of lube was all that was needed there, two pumps on the throttle and she roared, literally, into life. I let her come up to temp, new thermostat, and then raised her on the hoist until the wheels were free of the ground, put it in drive and let it free run for about 20 minutes to check for heat and or leaks, none were found. Next came the test drive, and man let me tell you, if you have never had the thrill of a 426 Hemi, it is a rush and a half. Granted, you twist her tail and you will have her tail coming right around you. She is a hand-full and NOT for the faint of heart. This is an opportunity to own not only a piece of history, but have a choice to go with it. Because it is not a matching number car the price tag is in a much lower range. A 1970 Hemi Cuda barn find, 15k less miles and matching numbers just sold at auction for $1.3 million. You’re going to save a bundle on this car. It is perfect for the person that wants to do a ground up because the ground is not that far away, OR, you can have the coolest “Daily driver” around just the way she is. I have posted a YouTube video; it takes you on a tour over and under the car. The link is as follows; http://youtu.be/or4tBh6Vw8g After you take the tour, AND you are serious about the car and need/want more info, M-F 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. MDT I can be reached at (801) 637-1812. I strongly suggest that you or your agent come look at the car In Person. The car is NOT perfect but remember she is 44 years old, and she still can kick ass on most anything on the street. This car is so good that I would NOT for one moment hesitate to drive it cross country. I would recommend however that you have it trucked to you, heavily insured. But you could do it, and it would be a road trip for the ages. Last thing here, and in payment details, I have title in hand, free and clear, PLEASE READ THIS PART CAREFULLY, There will be a 5% Buyers Premium ADDED to the end price of the car. I am brokering the car for the owner and they have agreed to split the normal 10% with the buyer. This is NOT negotiable and must be paid separately by the purchaser before ANY paperwork changes hands, period. If this is an affront to you, do not participate, simple as that. Good luck, and do not hesitate to ask questions, here or by phone. |

Stellantis wants to outfit cars with AI software to drive revenue
Tue, Dec 7 2021MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis announced a strategy Tuesday to embed AI-enabled software in 34 million vehicles across its 14 brands, hoping the tech upgrade will help it bring in 20 billion euros ($22.6 billion) in annual revenue by 2030. CEO Carlos Tavares heralded the move as part of a strategy that would transform the car company into a “sustainable mobility tech company,” with business growth coming from features and services tied to the internet. That includes using voice commands to activate navigation, make payments and order products online. The company is expanding existing partnerships with BMW on partially automated driving, iPhone manufacturer Foxconn on customized cockpits and Waymo to push their autonomous driving work into light commercial vehicle delivery fleets. StellantisÂ’ embrace of artificial intelligence and expansion of software-enabled vehicles is part of a broad transformation in the auto industry, with a race toward more fully electric and hybrid propulsion systems, more autonomous driving features and increased connectivity in automobiles. Ford and General Motors also are banking on dramatically increased revenue from similar online subscription services. But the automakers face immense competition for monthly consumer spending from movie and music streaming services, news outlets, Amazon Prime and others. Stellantis, which was formed from the combination of PSA Peugeot and FCA Fiat Chrysler, said the software would seamlessly integrate into customers' lives, with the capability of live updates providing upgraded services over time. New products will include the possibility to subscribe to automated driving features, purchase usage-based car insurance or even increase the power of the vehicle with a tune-up to add horsepower. As a baseline, Stellantis generates 400 million euros in revenue on software-generated services installed in 12 million vehicles. To meet the targets, Stellantis will expand its software engineering team of 1,000 to 4,500 in North America, Asia and Europe. More than 1,000 of the expanded team will be retrained in house. Stellantis also announced a new partnership with Foxconn to develop semiconductors to cover 80% of the companyÂ’s needs and simplify the supply chain. The first microchips from the partnership are targeted to be installed in vehicles in 2024.
Rest of 2015.5 Dodge Viper lineup available after MSRP drop spurs sales uptick
Sun, Nov 30 2014The Dodge Viper has muscled its way back into buyers' good graces thanks to a $15,000 price drop across-the-board – and we're sure the extra five horsepower didn't hurt, either – posting a 26-percent year-to-date surge after the September realignment. No longer, uh, snakebitten, Dodge is now allowing dealers to place already-sold orders of the TA 2.0 Special Edition and GTS, both of which come with more goodies as standard than on the 2014 models they replace. The $101,995 TA wears a high performance Aero Package consisting of front lower dive planes, front splitter, competition rear spoiler, a dual-mode suspension supporting 18- or 19-inch matte black wheels on Pirelli PZero Corsa tires, two-piece Brembos rotors with black and orange calipers and performance pads, and a five-mode electronic stability control. We'll pretend to ignore features like a "rear carbon fiber applique" on a hardcore V10 sports car. The $107,995 GTS trim throws in Laguna leather seats as standard, an Alcantara headliner and an 18-speaker Harman Kardon system. It will also be the only model that can be had in Ceramic Blue with black stripes, orange brake calipers and GTS gloss black badging. And that rear carbon fiber applique, since it's apparently quite popular. The Connor Avenue plant where workers assemble the Viper by hand will begin production of the TA and GTS in November, the two models will appear in showrooms in Q1 of next year. A press release below has more information. Finally, it appears the only thing Connor Avenue builders looks like it finally has the work to keep everyone at work. {C} New 2015.5 Dodge Viper GTS and TA 2.0 Special Edition Models Now Available for Customer "Sold Orders" With New Pricing and More Content - Dodge Viper sales up 26 percent year-to-date since Dodge repositioned the hand-built exotic in September and reduced the starting price $15,000 - 2015 Dodge Viper's starting U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $84,995 (all prices exclude gas guzzler tax and destination) - New 2015.5 Viper GTS and TA 2.0 models now available for sold customer orders - Track-ready Viper TA 2.0 Special Edition builds on success of TA model; U.S. MSRP starts at $101,995 and adds high-performance Aero Package, competition rear spoiler and front lower dive planes for increased downforce and improved handling on the track - U.S.
