1970 Dodge Challenger R/t Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:6
Location:

New Baltimore, Michigan, United States

New Baltimore, Michigan, United States

Up for auction is one of the most nicely restored 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T convertibles in existence.  It was restored professionally to factory specs.  The way you see it is the way it rolled off the assembly line back in January 1970.

 It has its numbers matching 383 engine which was restored to factory specs and ran on a dyno before installed.  The transmission was completely torn down, detailed and completely rebuilt to factory specs.  The 8 3/4 rear end was also torn down and rebuilt.  The housing was chemically dipped to remove all of the junk in the housing.  The center section was cleaned, detailed and completely rebuilt with new clutches and bearings.

The interior has been completely restored.  The seat frames were media blasted and painted.  Then new seat foams and covers were installed.  The gauge cluster was completely restored by Auto Instruments.  The door and rear interior panels were recovered by Just Dashes as well as the dash pad.  The heater control panel is new so it has the correct chrome detail vs. the silver paint pen most use.  The radio is a new reproduction that looks original on the outside (also with the correct chrome detail) but is new on the inside with IPOD and blue tooth capabilities.  All of the seat belts are new as well as the correct consol.  The dash frame and steering column were painted with NOS correct suede paint.

All of the convertible top components are new including: power top pump, both cylinders, and all of the plastic lines.  Top was professionally installed and looks great.  The frame was media blasted and repainted the correct shade of satin black.  Correct new satin chrome latched and receivers were installed.  

The front suspension was completely detailed using cosmoline on the upper and lower control arms.  All front suspension parts were detailed and coated with RPM (rust preventative magic sold by ECS Automotive).

The exhaust was purchased from Accurate Exhaust.  It is one step louder than factory and has a perfect tone for a convertible. 

The engine compartment is completely detailed with the correct radiator restored by Ray’s Radiator and a date coded carbureted restored by Scott Smith (Harms Auto).

I can write a book on this car.  To sum it up everything on this car was touched CORRECTLY.  What needed to be plated was plated correctly, not sprayed with metal color aerosol paint cans.

We only use the best vendors on our restorations.  This car was not built with the intensions of selling it.  This is an investment piece that just happens to be but on the market for personal reasons.  This is not a car that has been put back together with old repainted cleaned up parts.  Everything on this car was restored to new condition or replaced with new quality reproduction parts.

We only restore Mopar’s.  It is what we specialize in and all we do.  This is a gorgeous car and we guarantee you will be happy with it.  You can see 271 pictures of this Challenger on our site afterhoursrestorations.com.  We are only interested in positive transactions.  If for any reason you are not happy with this car at time of pick up the sale will be void and all funds will be returned no questions asked.

Feel free to have the car inspected.  The car is on a platform hoist so it can be inspected front to back, inside and out.

Seller reserves the right to end auction early because car is for sale locally.  Please ask questions.

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014

Mon, Dec 22 2014

With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.

Bid on the incredible George Barris Supervan in Scottsdale

Fri, Jan 22 2016

Barrett-Jackson's upcoming Scottsdale, AZ, auction features the groovy Barris SuperVan, which came from the mind of car customizing legend George Barris. He even autographed the interior. Passengers enter the SuperVan through the hinged windshield, and once inside they can party in style thanks to the roof-mounted disco ball. However, occupants can't get too wild because the massive side windows don't leave much room for privacy. Barris built the van around a 1966 Dodge Tradesman A-100 with a three-speed manual gearbox and a 318-cubic-inch V8. Barris originally called the van the "The Love Machine," and it later had quite a Hollywood career. Its on-screen appearances included the '70s movie SuperVan, and a repainted version served as a Hill Valley Transit bus in Back to the Future II. After his passing at age 89 last year, Barris' creation might see a further boost in value. Barrett-Jackson doesn't offer a price estimate for the SuperVan, but we can't wait to see what this groovy vehicle sells for with no reserve. Collectors already valued Barris' work before his death. For example, his 1960s Batmobile, which was likely Barris' most famous creation, went for $4.62 million at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2013.

It was used for many movies and TV shows after that, such as the Hill Valley Transit bus in "Back to the Future II," "Sea Quest" and the 1970 movie "Solar Crisis." The van has been completely restored to its "SuperVan" look and has since been signed by George Barris. Manual transmission.

Dodge performance trio thrashed on Roadkill

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Of all the shows that Motor Trend does, Roadkill is probably the last one we'd pick to evaluate the latest performance automobiles. That's not a slight against David Freiburger or Mike Finnegan, who host the show: they're certified gear-heads and the go-to guys when it comes to hot rods, rat rods and anything grungier than it is shiny. But as exemplary as they are of Detroit muscle, the Charger Hellcat, Challenger Hellcat and Viper are also shiny new pieces of metal. Still, since it will now be sponsoring the show, someone at Dodge apparently thought it would be a good idea to hand Freiburger and Finnegan the keys to the company's top performance models. So to ring the best out of them, they solicited help from some of their colleagues at MT, gained access to a closed-down air strip, devised as many ways as they could to destroy the tires, and proceeded to set about doing exactly that. Watch the grin-inducing mayhem unfold in the half-hour clip above. Related Video:
