1970 Dodge Challenger Rt/se - Documented Low Mileage Mopar on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE - True JS29 California Car
Up for auction is a rare factory 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE, B5 Blue/White Vinyl Top with Blue Interior, with only 44,000 documented original miles. This is a true “JS29” RT/SE car, not a replica or clone. Have Title, Fender Tag, maintenance documentation, etc. This car was manufactured in the Los Angeles, CA plant but was also built for CA emissions, making this a California car. The car is now located in Denver, CO. This car is 100% Rust-Free - GUARANTEED!!! The only filler you’ll find on this car was used for leveling of the panels. The car has all of its original body panels, except for the trunk which was professionally replaced. Even the lower quarter panels are still original, all frame rails, engine compartment, floor boards, battery tray, etc are 100% rust free…please see pictures on Photobucket. This is an original “N” code RT/SE Challenger, which means it came with a 383 originally. However, that engine was replaced with a 1970 date correct (F)440 engine very early on in life (still has original 727 transmission.) Other than the engine, the car retains most of all it’s original equipment. The History of the Challenger: Built in LA for California in late 1969, where it spent little time on the road. The 440 engine was swapped into the car sometime in California. I know this because I still have the Colorado Vehicle Inspection Report from 1988 (see photobucket), listing the 440 as the engine and the car only having 21,039 miles…that’s an average of just over 1,000 miles per year! Since then I have maintenance records documenting the vehicles miles to present day. The car actually has only had two sets of tires installed on it, the second set is still on the car. They were installed in 1991 when the car only had 37,201 miles…which means the current tires only have 7,000 miles on them. The car was taken off the road and stored inside in 1993, please see the picture of the Colorado registration tag for the year 1994 that never made it on the vehicle’s license plate. The car was placed on jack stands for the past 20 years until it was recently repainted its original color (B5 Blue) had a new vinyl top installed, gone through and reassembled. The car retains all of its original interior! What makes this car Unique/Rare: - The obvious, it’s a rare RT/SE with only 44,000 documented miles. - It’s an original California car. - The car actually has a factory mis-stamp body/frame. All of the numbers on the body are exactly 1,000 digits off. Lets me explain, the VIN # is JS29N0E112194, this VIN number is also found on the Title, Fender Tag, Transmission, Drivers Door sticker, etc. However, all stamps on the body show the last 6 digits of the VIN# to be “111194”, the cowl under the windshield, the radiator support stamp, the trunk, etc. All date codes match throughout the entire car. So the factory should have stamped the body with the 3rd of the 6 digits being a (2), instead they mistakenly stamped it with a (1). While this doesn’t take away from the value of the car, some people consider these cars to be even more valuable since there are only a handful of cars that were factory mis-stamped. Please see all pics of the vehicles body stamps on Photobucket. - This car is also a factory B5 Blue car with the matching Blue interior. Great color combo…all the replicas or clones are always done in black or white interior. - This is a factory A/C car, with all A/C equipment still on the vehicle. - Original Factory 8-track (now has aftermarket 8-track) - Rim-Blow Steering Wheel - All Original Interior (including factory Vinyl Seats with Cloth Inserts) - 3 Speaker Dash - Factory front disc brakes/sway bar - 8 3/4 Rear End w/ 3.55 gears - Original Spare Tire still in trunk, along with jack - Date Correct Tinted Glass - I think this car has every piece of Chrome or Stainless trim that was available in 1970, including rocker panel moldings. The Good: The doors, trunk, etc. all close great and sound extremely solid. All Gauges, lights, inside and outside the vehicle work. The drives extremely well and floats down the road, no rattles, shaking, vibrations, rides just like new. Goes straight down the road, can take your hands off the wheel and the car will drive in a perfectly straight line without with the steering wheel even turning…amazing for a car that’s 44 years old!!!!! Car had a factory undercoating applied, and all of it is still adhered to the bottom of the vehicle. All the lines on the car are straight, it’s never been wrecked. There is probably little more I can say that hasn’t been already, or that you can’t see for yourself in the pictures here on Ebay, or the 160 pictures on Photobucket. There are also numerous videos loaded of the car being driven around my neighborhood, running, walk-arounds, videos of the electronics working, etc. This car is in amazing shape, from bumper to bumper! - New Carpet - New Paint - New Vinyl Roof - All Polished Stainless - New Plugs/Wires - New Electronic Ignition - New Carb Rebuild - All New Weatherstripping - New Fluids/Filters - Etc. Email me for the link to the photos on Photobucket, Ebay will no longer allow you to post links in your descriptions. The Bad: (I’m being really picky here…) - Ummm…I guess the door panels have some scratches in them, so those could be replaced if you really wanted to be picky - There appears to be a very minor transmission leak (putting some stop-leak in would likely fix it) - Clock in the dash doesn’t work - Has an electric fuel pump (some people really like these, I don’t personally) - The roof rail weatherstripping was in good condition, but I wanted to replace it to match the rest of the car. It’s already been purchased and comes with the vehicle. - Missing ashtray in center console
Shipping/Payment/Warranty/Deposit/Bidding Shipping and handling will be paid and arranged by the Buyer. I can assist with loading and making the vehicle accessible, but will not bare cost of freight or arranging of delivery. I will not ship outside of the US.

Questions/Viewing Vehicle Please contact me via email if you have any additional questions regarding the car, need more pictures, pictures of specific items, or would like to setup a time to view the vehicle.

I feel that this is a very fair price for a car of this originality, low-mileage and condition. I actually anticipate the auction superseding that amount. The last 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE 440 I saw being sold on Ebay had an asking price of $82,000. That car didn’t sell by the time of the auction end, but since it was not relisted I feel that the seller may have accepted a price slightly lower than his asking price.

HAS ALL 160 PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THIS CAR.
There is a reason why I have 100% feedback. I want to be as upfront with you as possible with this car, so please ask all questions and view all pictures. Thank you very much and Happy Bidding!! |

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill
Wed, 10 Sep 2014According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.
