I am selling my 1970 looking 1973 Dodge Challenger Project car simply because I have a new job and have very little time to finish the car now. The car is pretty much just a shell right now, everything has been taken off of the car. I have had the car since the fall of 2009, I have been working on it in my spare time over the years but I have a new job now and little free time to work on the car. The car is sitting on rollers just to move it around, the suspension has been completely removed. Any rusted areas were either cut out or sandblasted by myself.

The Body

I replaced the rusty 1973 fenders with new goodmark 1970/71 fenders, as well as 70/71 quarter panels and 1970 tail panel. The decklid and the hood are both new as well as the trunk floor and drop off's. The doors were in really good shape as was the roof, I welded two patches in the rear roof seams fully since mopars tend to flex and crack the bodyfiller back there. I used to do body work on cars in a restoration shop so I built this one right. I installed subframe connectors and patched the rear frame rails and added extra steel inside the rail itself. The body is nice and strait, I left it in White Sealer primer, all it needs is to be blocked lightly with 320 grit and then wet sanded and then she is ready for paint. This car can be finished in any color since white is a nice undertone especially for bright colors. I have had several pieces of the trim polished but not all of them. The car comes with a good looking 1970 Challenger Grille, new aluminum headlight bezels, 1970 rear tail light housing and lenses. I shaved the side markers shut and I have not drilled any holes in the hood or decklid for emblems.

The Engine

The 440 is a 1972 built motor, I decoded the car and found out that it used to be a 318 automatic car like most of them. I had the motor taken apart and machined professionally at a local shop here in Fargo. The motor has been dunked, honed and bored .30 over. It is unassembled, just a bare block. The pistons and the rods are together, the factory rods have been machined and balanced and I replaced the factory cast iron pistons with Keith Black Hyperutectic pistons. The crankshaft has also been balanced, I have a Lunatee Voodoo cam and lifter set that is good for 1500 to 6200 RPM's. I also have a pair of assembled Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads for the engine which would really up the horse power.

The Drivetrain

I have not had a chance to do anything with the drivetrain, it has an 8 and 3/4 rear end that I disassembled but the third member is still all together. The transmission is not for an E body car, it needs a different tail shaft in order for the shifter to line up where I welded the four speed tunnel hump.

The Steering

The car comes with all of the factory suspension parts plus I bought an E body specific Unisteer Rack and pinion kit that I have already fitted to the car and the factory column.

The Interior

I have all of the interior parts that I could salvage, dash parts, I have a custom cluster I built if the buyer wants it or he can just put the factory gauges in. The door panels and rear panels are in good shape but they need to be prepped and painted. The dash pad is toast so it will need a new one or a cover. The seats that come with the car are not Challenger seats but they look era correct, I built new mounts for them so they fit better in the car if the owner chooses to use them. The seats not only fold forward they also recline back. The car also comes with a center console and a pistol grip shifter.

I have the factory Ralley wheels with white letter Goodyear tires that will also go with the car.

I am sure I am forgetting something about the car, so if you have any questions about it feel free to e-mail me. Good luck bidding.

2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Enamored of the Dodge Challenger but wish you could get one with a shaker hood? We've got good news, because Dodge and Mopar have teamed up to bring it back.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker packs the same 5.7-liter Hemi V8 as the standard Challenger R/T, but upgrades the business end with a through-the-hood exposed cold-air intake system. The retro hood scoop protrudes from the center of the hood in satin black (matching the decklid spoiler) to feed the Hemi and shakes with the engine just like the original from 1970. The Shaker model also comes with a Super Track Pak that adds a new steering rack, brake linings, shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car rubber. You can also shut off the stability management system completely in this car. A series of interior and exterior trim enhancements round out the look. The whole package adds $2,500 to the price of a Challenger R/T Classic for an all-in MSRP of $36,995.
In case that's not enough, Dodge is also offering a limited-edition Mopar Challenger that follows the 2010 Mopar Challenger, 2011 Mopar Charger, 2012 Mopar 300 and 2013 Mopar Dart. Limited to just 100 examples, the 2014 Mopar Challenger gets the same Shaker hood intake, unique graphics and wheels, an enhanced interior and a long list of optional extras from the Mopar parts catalog. Dodge isn't saying just yet how much the Mopar Challenger will cost, but you can bet it will command a considerable premium for the exclusivity alone.

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
