1970 Dodge Challenger R/t Convertible on 2040-cars
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. 271 pictures of this Challenger can be seen on our web site www.afterhoursrestorations.com.

Florida Highway Patrolman seen watching YouTube in traffic
Fri, Apr 8 2016The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating allegations of a trooper watching YouTube videos on his official in-car laptop while driving. Lee County Florida resident James Peebles caught the alleged offender during his morning commute in early April, NBC2 reported. After exiting I-75, Peebles said that the FHP cruiser rolled up next to him at a stop light where he could clearly see the trooper inside watching a car race on Youtube on an official FHP laptop. Peebles put his car in park and snapped a picture of the cruiser before continuing to work. Later that day, he posted the photo to Facebook where it quickly went viral. "It blew my mind," Peebles told NBC2. "Everybody's human though, so I do know that we all make mistakes." NBC2 contacted the FHP for a statement after speaking to Peebles. An FHP spokesperson told the station that troopers are allowed to use their laptops while driving squad cars when carrying out official duties such as "simple inquiries" and "reviewing the nature of incoming messages". Other Florida motorists, like Jim Kosmerick who was interviewed by NBC2 for this story, don't consider watching an old race on YouTube to be official FHP business. "It's not official business, there's no way you can convince me otherwise," said Kosmerick. The FHP says that they are now aware of this fast moving viral image, and that they are taking the issue very seriously. They state that an investigation into the matter is underway, and that troopers are expected to abide by department policy and lead by example.

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
Stellantis sees vehicle loan durations extended amid banking turmoil
Tue, Apr 4 2023Stellantis is seeing clients seeking longer-term financing and leasing deals for their vehicles as a consequence of higher global interest rates, the carmaker's head for the business said. Chief Affiliates Officer Philippe de Rovira said loans which normally had a three-year maturity were now increasingly moved to four years. "This allows customers to get a car for a monthly instalment that is similar to that they had before," he said. The world's third largest carmaker by sales on Tuesday announced it had completed a plan announced in late 2021 to reshuffle and simplify its leasing and financing operations in Europe. Under its terms, Stellantis created a 50-50 single long term multi-brand leasing company named Leasys with Credit Agricole Consumer Finance. It also set up local joint ventures in European countries for its new Stellantis Financial Services unit, formerly Banque PSA Finance, with BNP Paribas Personal Finance and Santander Consumer Finance. "These banks have always had better funding conditions than those we can have as an automaker," de Rovira said. Benefits of the plan included cutting the number of financing and leasing entities the group runs in each country and the number of IT systems it uses, with expected savings exceeding 30% in this particular area, he added. De Rovira said the group had a huge portfolio of orders it had not yet delivered due to supply chain shortages impacting production. "Demand is not our main issue. The issue is to deliver as fast as we can cars that are in our order portfolio, which is still at record levels," he said. The group aims to expand its corporate leased vehicle fleet to more than one million units in 2026 and to double net income from its so-called banking activities to 5.8 billion euros ($6.3 billion) by 2030. De Rovira said Stellantis was not seeing a downward trend in vehicle pricing. "Probably the significant price increases we have seen in 2021 and 2022 will not be repeated because the context is changing, but for the moment we don't see decreases, we see stabilisation".
