1971 Dodge Challenger 340 Conv ****
If you are
looking for great running and driving Mopar E-Body drop-top I challenge you to
find a better example under $40k. This was
born and raised H-code 340 Dodge Challenger convertible and it has GREAT documentation –
check out the details below!
This is one of the most optioned out E-body rag-tops ever built according to
Galen. Options include Power Steering, Power Front Disc Brakes, T/A
Challenger quick ratio steering box, AM-FM, Cassette Player- Recorder,
Power Windows, Power Top, Buckets, Console, very rare Chrome package,
Luggage Rack, etc. 20 years ago, during the restoration the previous owner
added the Go-Wing, a Tuff Wheel, and the Side Rallye Scoops. PAINT, BODY, FRAME &
SUSPENSION The car was restored
about 20 years ago and still presents itself pretty well. The technology of the
time was not what it is today. The rear quarters have been replaced, the trunk
drops were not available then so they remain original and in need of repair.
The typical E-Body Dutchman panel cracking is evident but not too bad. The
rockers where the quarters were welded could’ve been done better. There is a
spot on the driver’s door where the paint is cracked probably due to either bad
prep or filler. There is a patch in the trunk floor; there is rust in one of
the wheel houses and a small hole in the front frame rail on the passenger
side. All these issues have been like this since the car was purchased by the
current owner (15 years ago). The car looks, runs, drives, and handles
wonderfully and will bring the next owner many years of enjoyment. The suspension is all
good and functions as new and entire braking system is 100%, very solid, tight,
and the quick ratio steering makes the highway on ramps very fun! GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM The glass looks to be
original glass maybe with the exception of the windshield, all power windows
operate well and line-up perfectly. The front and rear bumpers are in very
good condition. The stainless trim is in great shape, the headlight
bezels, grille, emblems, and mirrors are all amazing. All lighting works; the
high/low beams, dome light, reverse lights, tail lights, parking lights, turn
signals, four-way flashers, glove light, trunk light, and the license plate
light. The top is in GREAT shape and looks new, glass rear window – the power
top operates very well, no issues there. The “parade boot” fits nicely and is
in good shape. The car has the jack assembly and space save spare with fill
canister.
INTERIOR The white vinyl interior
is 100% complete and in wonderful condition, mostly new from what I can see. The
seats have been recovered and new seat foams ensure your correct view over the
dashboard. The console and glove compartment doors operate well; the seat belts
all work, the dash lights are bright; all the gauges report in correctly, the AM-FM
radio and speakers all work great, the playing speed on the cassette seems a
bit slow, the wipers, horn, etc. all work well. The HVAC controls work on all
fan settings and blows hot, and the AC runs nice and cool. All factory gauges
work and operate correctly – these Rallye Gauge Clusters are great looking in
these cars.
DRIVE TRAIN The NOM 1970 340 has excellent
power and runs extremely smooth and is very easy to drive. The motor does
not smoke, tick or make any noises… again it runs great with no issues, it was
rebuilt to stock specs during the resto. The transmission is NOT the
original 727 transmission. It shifts excellent through the gears and is an
absolute blast to drive! If you get a little aggressive she’ll reward you
with a nice, firm, “chirp” in between the gears… The car stays cool even in
stop and go traffic. The 8-3/4” SureGrip rear-end is running a set of 3:55
gears and yes, being a SureGrip; it’s an “Posi” rear. Documents include TWO Fender tags, the ORIGINAL broadcast sheet (buildsheet), original sales brochure.

Gas prices down, 707-hp engine production up... USA!
Tue, Jun 30 2015On Saturday, the United States of America will celebrate its 239th birthday. That means fireworks, barbecues, block parties, and, oh yeah, Hellcat engines and low fuel prices. The most American of (Mexican-built) powerplants, the big, loud, supercharged, 707-horsepower Hemi is slated for yet another production boost to match up with some serious demand, while the dino juice it runs on is cheaper than it's been in over half a decade. The Saltillo, Mexico engine factory already produces some 4,000 Hellcat engines each year – that's in addition to the Tigershark four-cylinder, the 5.7-liter Hemi, and 6.4-liter SRT Hemi V8s – and it's not entirely clear how many more might get added to that total. What we do know, though, is that Fiat Chrysler can't build the engines fast enough. "We're going to build more [Hellcats] for 2016," SRT boss Tim Kuniskis told Automotive News. "It's a small sliver of what we sell, but it really creates a halo for the rest of the lineup. For example, the next highest car, the Scat Pack Challenger, I have essentially a zero-day supply. It's sold out." This bit of good news comes on the back of something equally good – low summer gas prices. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the nationwide average for for "all formulations" of fuel in June sits at $2.885. Ignoring the remarkably low prices we saw in January and February of this year – figures that themselves hadn't been seen since May of 2009 – the national average hasn't sat that low since October 2010. So yes, it's a very a good time to be an American gearhead.

2015 Dodge Challenger crash test results slip from last year's model
Mon, Dec 22 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released the results of its latest round of crash testing, announcing that the 2015 Dodge Challenger has netted a five-star overall crash rating. Of course, Chrysler won't want us to tell you this, but that NHTSA overall rating is not the whole story here. As The Car Connection so astutely points out, five-star rating aside, the refreshed 2015 Challenger actually performed worse than when it was tested back in 2013. The V6-powered SXT model tested by NHTSA in this latest round of testing was only able to record a four-star rating in its frontal crash test, while it nailed a five-star rating in the side-impact test. The 2013 Challenger managed a five-star rating in the frontal test. Of course, while this rating is a sign of overall good news for Challenger fans, the car, as TCC argues, has yet to be tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It'll be interesting to see if these NHTSA ratings translate to an IIHS Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick Plus. Scroll down for the full press release from FCA. All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger Earns Five-Star Overall Safety Rating From U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2015 Dodge Challenger coupe earns five stars overall, the highest possible score in NHTSA's safety rating program More than 70 safety and security features, including new for 2015 class-exclusive Forward Collision Warning, adaptive cruise control, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger starts at $26,995 (excluding tax, destination and title) December 18, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Five stars is the highest possible safety rating given by NHTSA. "The new Dodge Challenger coupe further demonstrates our commitment to broaden the proliferation of advanced safety technologies, such as driver-assist features," says Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President-Vehicle Safety and Regulatory, FCA-North America. In its assessment of the new Challenger, NHTSA notes the availability of Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which features forward-facing sensors programmed to detect the potential for certain types of frontal collisions. If detected, the driver is alerted with visual and audible warnings. The 2015 Dodge Challenger is the only car in its segment with such capability.
