Offered for sale is my freshly restored 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE. This is a true RT/SE car. JS29NOB******. I purchased this car a few years ago and have spent the last 2 years bringing it to what we have here. This is a nicely frame on restored true RT/SE FC7 plum crazy Challenger with white vinyl top (new). I consider this to be a nice high quality #2 car that is meant to be driven and enjoyed. The car was completely stripped down to metal before repainting in original colors. It has had lower quarter patches, front lower quarter patches, new tail light panel, new rear crossmember (where bumper bolts to) and left side engine bay panel replaced during the restoration. This car is correct in appearance as it came off the line. New interior carpet, new Legendary Interiors front (leather) buckets and rear vinyl seats, new package tray and rear seat divider. Under the hood is a period correct but not original to the car 1970 383 engine with a complete and freshly rebuilt 727 torqueflite automatic transmission. This is the same combination the car was originally equipped with. I personally did not overhaul the engine during the restoration (it had been done by a previous owner). I tore it down for inspection and noticed the crankshaft was balanced. Removed the bearings caps, all good. Everything looked good so some fresh gaskets all around, new freeze plugs, water pump, t-stat, starter, plugs, plug wires, all new engine/light wiring harnesses and it runs top notch. It has been changed to electronic ignition.
Some of the factory features are A/C (not currently charged, have a new A/C dryer that goes with it), power windows, power steering, overhead console (complete and working), AM radio, console, chrome wheel well moldings. The car was an original factory power drum brake set-up. I converted the front to disc for safety but retained all the original drum parts and they go with the car. Rebuilt power booster, new master cylinder, rebuilt date coded wiper motor, MOPAR yellow cap battery, new fuel tank, new fuel tank sending unit, fuel pump, new complete OE exhaust from the manifolds all the way back (resonators and mufflers), re-chromed original tail light bezels. New door window handles, door window hardware, radiator sent out and pressure tested, newer Edelbrock carb, trunk mat, new hood hinges, hood insulation pad, new emblems all around and much much more...... The front suspension is all new and completely rebuilt. New pitman arm, tie rods, bushings, links etc. It has been to the alignment shop and drives perfectly straight down the road no shake or shimmy in the wheel. Tire are 14" BF Goodrich and are excellent. I haven't tallied up my receipts but I'm well north of $60,000 into this car. Paint and body work alone was over $21,000.00. I have a photocopy of the original build sheet. Somewhere the actual build sheet got lost through ownership changed but somebody was smart enough to make a few photocopies. It's readable and correct so you can verify but not the best copy. Also the ID tag on the fender matches with the VIN on the windshield, that matches the door jamb. You can make out the last 6 of the VIN on the cowl and it still retains its original radiator support as the last 6 of the VIN are clearly readable on it clearly documenting this as the real thing. This car is not perfect. Was never meant to be. There are still a few things that need finishing. The A/C is not charged. The blower fan runs constant so I disconnected it for now. It likely needs the blower switch replaced. Wipers currently are not operating (they were). Might be the switch. Power windows work but motors a bit weak. AM radio not working (haven't really look at it). The clock WORKS! As far as the history of the car goes, I have some documentation tracing it back into the 90's where it was a Southern car. The frame is very clean and had been undercoated by a previous owner some time ago. I have 100's of pictures documenting the restoration. I'd be happy to send a photobucket link to anyone interested. Serious interest only. I am looking to sell as I have gone WAY overboard on this project and have 1 daughter in college with another off next year. Interest buyers can contact me anytime for a full and honest description of the car. I highly encourage anyone interested to hire an independent appraiser or come see the car in person before even considering a bid. A deposit of $500.00 is due within 48 hours of auction closing. The State of Maine does not issue titles for vehicles this old. Sold on Bill of Sale only. I do have a South Carolina title that shows ownership changes from one person to a dealer in S.C. then re-sold to a dealer in PA. There is actually a few old documents where this car was sold on eBay ages ago! I can be reached for any and all questions anytime: Mark 207-671-2209 |

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014
Mon, Dec 22 2014With 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.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.
