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.

FCA is setting a five-year strategy: Here's how the last one played out

Thu, May 31 2018

We're slightly more than four years removed from Sergio Marchionne last five-year plan for FCA, a tell-all where the Italian-American automaker divulged its plans for the 2014 through 2018 model years. It was a grand affair, where Sergio told FCA investors that all was right in Auburn Hills, Alfa Romeo and Maserati were making comebacks, and the fifth-gen Dodge Viper received a mid-cycle refresh. You can read every last one of those past predictions right here. We're on our way to Europe to see Sergio's sequel, coming out Friday straight from FCA's Italian headquarters. (Bloomberg reports a plan to expand Jeep and Ram globally, combine Alfa Romeo and Maserati into a single division for an eventual spinoff, and downsizing Fiat and Chrysler. Also, EVs.) But before we arrive in Italy and find out exactly what Marchionne has planned for 2019 through 2023 as his last act as CEO, let's take a minute to tally up the results of his last term based on the same scoresheet we used in 2014. Now, we're only five months into 2018, so much of this — including vehicles like the Ram HD and Jeep Grand Wagoneer Â— could still debut this year. For those, we'll mark things TBD. We're not going to draw any conclusions or make any objectionable remarks. We're simply going to let the stats speak for themselves.

Hennessey's Dodge Challenger Hellcat cranks out 1,032 hp

Mon, Feb 22 2016

Enthusiasts know the Dodge Challenger Hellcat produces 707 horsepower. It's one of the modern muscle-car era's iconic numbers. But for some, that's not enough. Enter Hennessey Performance. The Texas tuners loaded the Hellcat with a twin-turbocharger that works with Dodge's supercharger to boost output to 1,032 hp and 987 pound-feet of torque. Yes, that's an engine dyno rating, not at the rear wheels, but still! It's a little more complicated than a bolt-on booster. Called the HPE1000, the turbo kit has stainless steel headers and down pipes, billet aluminum compressor wheels, and a high-flow air system. There's also an an improved fuel pump, and the engine and chassis are specially calibrated. You also get numbered plaques signed by John Hennessey himself and the engine tech who builds your mill. All of this helps get your Hellcat to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds, and it can do the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds at 142 mph. The Hellcat and it's 6.2-liter blown Hemi V8 are not for the faint of heart. Hennessey makes this Dodge downright demonic.

Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.
