 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.  A Deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of auction closing to my PayPal account.  Remainder of payment will be made in cash, cashiers check, or money order.  Full payment will be fully processed and cleared before vehicle will leave my possession.  There is no warranty associated with this vehicle, car is “as-is”.  All bidders having zero feedback needs to contact me via email before bidding or your bid will be cancelled.  No scammers please.

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 am located in Denver, CO and will make myself available to anyone wanting to come by and view the car in-person before securing.  I will provide you with my phone number and we can arrange a time from there.

Reserve Amount

The reserve for this car has been set at $45,000.  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.

PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL FOR THE PHOTOBUCKET WEBSITE THAT 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!!

2025 SRT Hellcat concepts as previewed by high schoolers

Thu, Jan 21 2016

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has some very talented designers in its ranks. Like any good company, though, the automaker is always on the lookout for early talent. Even if they're still in high school. One of those talent-seeking initiatives is the company's Drive for Design contest, an event open to tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade students that are hoping for a future in design. For this year's event, students from across the country were given a shot to design their vision for a 2025 model-year Dodge SRT Hellcat. The results are impressive, as you can see in the gallery above. First place went to Ben Treinen, from Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati. Second place was the only award to go to a student outside the Rust Belt, with Macon, GA's Harrison Kunselman, a student at Mount de Sales Academy taking the silver. Third place was won by a metro Detroiter – Bloomfield Hills High School student Hwanseong Jang, while fourth went to Andrew Gombac of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL. According to FCA, all four winners will have their sketches on display at the 2016 Autorama at Cobo Center at the end of February. They'll also win some pretty nifty prizes. First place will get a new Apple MacBook Pro, while second, third, and fourth get the new Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil (arguably just as good of a prize for budding designers). All four finishers will also attend a three-week automotive design course at Detroit's prestigious College for Creative Studies, have dinner with FCA designers, and score three passes to Autorama. FCA will cover travel and lodging to Auburn Hills. Read on for the official blast from FCA.

The FCA US Drive for Design contest challenged U.S. high school students in grades 10-12 to design a Dodge SRT Hellcat for the year 2025. "The Drive for Design contest continues to be a great way for the FCA US Design team to connect with students that show an interest in art and design," said Mark Trostle – Head of Dodge and SRT Design, FCA US LLC.

Dodge revamping lineup with AWD Challenger and lighter Charger

Tue, Sep 6 2016

Dodge's current lineup is aging rapidly. The Charger, for example, is going on 5 years old but its platform dates back to 2006. FCA, according to Automotive News, is working on revitalizing Dodge's lineup with the first of some new models debuting later this year. The report reveals plans for the majority of FCA's brands, but the most interesting bit of information is an all-wheel-drive model for the Dodge Challenger, which is being referred to as the GT AWD. Mopar unveiled the Challenger GT AWD Concept at SEMA last year as a concept, but it looks like the idea stuck. The vehicle is set to make its debut this fall and will lead the way for a wide-body, Hellcat-powered version that will be released in 2017. That model will be called the Challenger ADR. The entire Challenger lineup will be redesigned in 2018, which includes switching over to the lighter Giorgio platform - the same one that underpins the Alfa Romeo Guilia Dodge will also redesign the Charger to accommodate the new Giorgio platform in 2018. A new two-door convertible could debut in 2021, resurrecting the Barracuda moniker. The aging Dodge Durango will get a light refresh in 2017 with the addition of an SRT model, which Automotive News reports will feature a 6.4-liter V8 engine. Other changes are in store for other FCA brands, including the debut of full-size crossover in 2018 for Chrysler, which will be followed by a midsize crossover in 2019. The Jeep Compass and Wrangler will get a redesign for 2017, with the Cherokee getting a light makeover, as well. The Wrangler-based pickup truck, which we recently spotted testing, is set for its debut in 2018, while the Wagoneer will come out a year later.

2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.
