1970 Dodge Challenger #s Matching 340/automatic Project on 2040-cars
Royal Oak, Michigan, United States
|
This auction is for one 1970 Dodge Challenger incomplete project car. It is a real A66 340 performance package car with its original engine, 727 transmission, radiator, complete dash assembly, steering column with keys & heater box. It still has its original fender tag which is rusty but readable from the backside and its build sheet that's in very nice condition. As seen in the pictures it is a rolling chassis that has rust issues from front to back and top to bottom. It doesn't retain its original rear axle assembly but it does have an E-body 8 & 3/4" out of another car with an open center section. It is an original 4 wheel drum brake car but I have installed an original 1970 E-body front disc brake assembly that includes spindles, two piece rotors and calipers. The engine is disassembled but complete except for exhaust manifolds and air cleaner. I had the block hot tanked and magnafluxed to verify that it is a good rebuildable core and that it is.
It is an original FK5 Burnt Orange car inside and out with a black top and tail stripe. Most of The interior is missing but it was a console shifted automatic car. The doors are original to the car and are in useable condition with minimal rust but one is damaged as shown in the pics. Unfortunately somebody cut out the top yoke of the radiator core support that had the body numbers stamped on it but I'll include a nice whole core support that was removed from another vehicle. It still retains the body numbers that are stamped on the cowl, the vin tag on the dash and the door vin decal on the driver's side door. The trunk lid on it is rust-free and comes with the early, non-crumple zone Rallye hood shown in the pics and is also rust-free. Also included is a nice front bumper with brackets but no grille, headlight bezels or fenders. I originally intended to restore this car myself but that is no longer my plan as I have too many other projects and nowhere near enough time to do them all. I have a lot of parts that I have picked up over the years for this car that are NOT included in this auction but will be available for sale to the high bidder so if you don't see it in the pics or listed in the description, it's not included in this auction. I have registered this car with Galen Govier and those documents are included in this auction. It is 1 of 3,771 340 single four barrel automatics built in 1970. This would be one very nice Mopar when restored and with all of the original equipment and documentation I think it deserves to be saved. I am open to shipping this car anywhere in the world but I am not responsible for making any of those arrangements and shipping is not included in this auction. All of the parts that are included would fit inside the car except the hood which would have to be strapped to the front of the car which I will do for the new owner if not a local pick up. The car is located in the Detroit area. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours through Pay Pal and the balance to be paid in cash if you're going to pick it up within 7 days or by certified funds or bank wire transfer within 7 days of the end of the auction. I will not release the car until it is paid in full and all funds have cleared. The reserve is pretty low in my opinion and I will not reveal the reserve unless you have made a bid. Please feel free to contact me with any more questions you might have. |

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
Stellantis mega-merger gets approval from FCA, PSA shareholders
Mon, Jan 4 2021MILAN — Shareholders of Fiat Chrysler and PSA Peugeot decisively voted Monday to merge the U.S.-Italian and French carmakers to create worldÂ’s 4th-largest auto company. Addressing separate meetings, both PSA Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares and Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann spoke of the “historic” importance of the vote, which combines legacy car companies that helped write the industrial histories of the United States, France and Italy. Before the merger is finalized, shares in the new company, to be called Stellantis, must the launched. It will be traded in Milan, New York and Paris. The marriage of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is built on the promise of cost-savings in the capital-hungry industry, but what remains to be seen is if it will be able to preserve jobs and heritage brands in a global market still suffering from the pandemic. The deal will create the worldÂ’s fourth-largest carmaker, with the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, behind Volkswagen, Toyota and Renault-Nissan, and create 5 billion euros in annual synergies. “We are fully aware of the fact that together we will be stronger than individually,'' PSA CEO Carlos Tavares told a virtual gathering of eligible shareholders. “The two companies are in good health. These two companies have strong positions in their markets.” The new company will put together under one roof French mass-market carmakers Peugeot and Citroen, top-selling Jeep and Italian luxury and sports brands Maserati and Alfa Romeo - pooling companies that have helped define the industry in the United States, France and Italy. While the tie-up is billed as a merger of equals, the power advantage goes to PSA, with Tavares running Stellantis and holding the tie-breaking vote on the 11-seat board. Tavares is set to take full control of the company early this year, possibly by the end of January. Fiat Chrysler chairman John Elkann, heir to the Fiat-founding Agnelli family and Fiat ChryslerÂ’s biggest shareholder, will be the Stellantis chairman. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will head North American operations, which is key to Tavares' long-time goal of getting a U.S. foothold for the French carmaker he has run since 2014, and the clear money-maker for Fiat Chrysler. Such a deal was long wanted by Fiat ChryslerÂ’s long-time CEO Sergio Marchionne, who had predicted the necessity of consolidation in the industry. He was unable to find a deal before his sudden death in July 2018.
