1971 Dodge Challenger Classic Mopar Muscle Resto-mod (number's Matching) on 2040-cars
Year:1971
Mileage:120438
Location:
Riverside, California, United States
|
This 1971 Dodge Challenger is a #2 show car with numbers matching engine, transmission & chassis. For comparison, a #1 show car is a museum piece that is not driven but rather trailered to concourse shows. This beautiful Challenger is one step down from a #1 concourse museum show car - a real fast beauty that you can drive & take to car shows. It's always a crowd favorite. This classic Mopar muscle show car is the proud recipient of countless car show awards including best of show, best paint, best engine, best interior, best muscle car, etc. This is a solid California car with all original body panels & only minor metal replacement needed during the restoration near the rear wheels & below the rear windshield. Front windshield has been replaced & all other glass is good. This Mopar muscle street machine is more of a restomod than anything, despite the matching numbers. Countless performance upgrades make this 318/323cid LA smallblock engine, which was bored .030" over during the rebuild, a force to be reckoned with on the street with more horsepower than even the 440 six pack Mopars (395HP) that came from the factory back in the day. This smallblock engine puts out a stout 400HP & has excellent 3.55 sure grip street gears to get all that power to the pavement when you want it most. The engine has nearly double the power that it came with from the factory. Under the hood is pure eye candy with all the power & authority to back it up. With DOT BFGoodrich street legal slicks this car has run consistent 13.6 second quarter mile times at over 102 mph at the local drag strip & I have the time slips to back it up. The DOT slicks are no longer on the car but have been replaced with new BFGoodrich radial TA's, installed on genuine new Cragar-SS 7"X15" chrome wheels. The engine is very responsive & still ultra-fresh with only 5000 miles since the meticulous rebuild (See engine performance upgrade specs below). Every circuit of the fuel curve in this engine has been mapped with a computer & tuned to just the right specs for the most power when it's needed & good fuel economy at idle or when you're cruising. The interior is custom restored with all the original stock furniture, panels & controls with the addition of a nice 200W Pioneer CD player stereo. The only items not restored inside are the dashboard, seatbelts & dimmer switch. The interior dimmer switch for the dome light does not work properly. This is a very easy fix. Everything else inside was either replaced or restored. Inside there is a new headliner, new carpet, new seat foam & custom two tone vinyl seat covers with cloth inserts, new custom cloth & vinyl upholstery on the stock door panels, new upholstery on all interior panels, sun visors, rear interior deck, custom floor mats, & new burgundy paint on all the metal interior molding. The center console has also been repainted with burgundy vinyl paint & the chrome/woodgrain console insert was covered in the same burgundy pearl paint to match the outside of the car. The outside is PPG Burgundy Berry Pearl base-clear paint in excellent condition with only very minor blems & a few tiny nicks. This car is a driver, not a trailer queen, so its got some character road dust underneath & some tiny nicks on the lower rear quarters from doing burnouts at the drag strip. Brakes, master cylinder, brake lines, BFG TA/Radial tires, water pump, fuel pump & steering box are all new or rebuilt to the highest specs. A new heater core comes with the car but does not yet need replaced. The trunk has been painted, undercoated & detailed moderately (Nothin fancy in the trunk). All chrome has been re-chromed & the front grille is custom painted with great attention to detail & enough modifications to make it unique. The drivetrain specifications & performance upgrade details are listed below. See list below for all the performance upgrades throughout the car. Please contact me if you would like more details or to answer any questions you might have. I can also send more pictures if necessary, but please be specific about which items you want pictures of.
Due to errors in the previous listing of this awesome Mopar, the previous auction ad has been deleted & relisted with corrections. Even though bidding had not yet reached my reserve price, Ebay would not allow me to delete the erroneous information due to website policy. Therefore I deeply regret having to delete & relist my ad. Being clear & accurate in my ad both for the sake of legitimate bidders & my own feedback rating is of the highest priority to me as an Ebayer. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience this has caused for my valued bidders & hope that you understand. |

Dodge could enter Peugeot's Le Mans-bound 9x8 hypercar in IMSA races
Wed, Jul 21 2021Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group merged under the Stellantis umbrella in early 2021 to achieve economies of scale, and this benefit could surprisingly extend to racing. Executives are debating whether to give Dodge its own version of Peugeot's recently-unveiled 9x8 hypercar to race in America, according to a recent report. "While we only heard [the new rules] confirmed a week ago, it has certainly led to some very open discussion, not only about whether Peugeot might add races in the United States, but also about whether the spine of this car might have opportunities with other brands in the Stellantis Group. There are no conclusions yet, but there are now open discussions," affirmed Jean-Marc Finot, the Senior Vice President of Stellantis, in an interview with Racer. His comments refer to an agreement signed in July 2021 by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). They chose to align their technical regulations to let manufacturers compete in different events on both sides of the pond without going through the resource-consuming process of developing a specific car for each series. As of writing, the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) and Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) categories fall under the newly-announced common set of rules. On the surface, this means Peugeot could enter its 9X8 (pictured) in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship as soon as the 2023 season. While this is seemingly under consideration, Peugeot has little to gain from winning a major race in the United States. It hasn't sold cars here since 1991, and its long-mooted comeback was canned after PSA merged with FCA. Giving a variant of the 9X8 to Dodge is a more credible possibility, according to Racer. If not Dodge, then who else? Chrysler hasn't been linked to racing or performance for decades. Jeep is no stranger to performance vehicles, but IMSA would be pushing it. Ram is Ram, while Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati are rooted in Europe. The rest of the Stellantis brands (like Opel, Lancia, and Citroen) are not distributed in America. Nothing is official, and the publication stressed it's unclear whether Dodge will commit part- or full-time to the series (assuming the program receives the green light). Finot underlined the parallel car would use the 9X8's "spine," so don't expect to see a Peugeot hypercar with a Dodge emblem driving flat-out on the Sebring International Raceway.
Fiat Chrysler's next-generation Uconnect is faster, built on Android
Mon, Jan 27 2020If you're a regular reader of Autoblog, you know that for a long time we've liked Fiat Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system for its bright, clear, responsive touchscreen interface. Now, according to the company, it will be better than ever with Uconnect 5, the latest iteration of the system. It has upgraded hardware and a revamped graphic user interface (the stuff on the screen). Looking at sample screens shown above, there are characteristics shared with the old system, such as the time, status and shortcuts at the top and the menu icons at the bottom. In the middle, the major change is the addition of home screens that can be customized with favorite menus and readouts that are always available. Each of these home screens can have up to four functions and you can have five pages to flip through. The graphics themselves feature more legible fonts and updated icons. Each car brand will get its own set of icons, colors and textures to help create unique experiences. And while each Fiat Chrysler product will be able to have Uconnect, including Alfa Romeo that has until now lacked Uconnect, each brand has the ability to make small tweaks including the screen orientation. The system will support displays in landscape, portrait or square, so different brands may choose different shapes. Powering Uconnect 5 is a processor Fiat Chrysler says is six times more powerful than what's in current systems. It features 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of internal storage. The processor also supports screens as large as 12.3 inches with as many as 15 million pixels, or nearly twice that of a 4K resolution TV. The system can display information on up to four screens, too. Uconnect 5's firmware is built on Google's Android operating system, joining a few other automakers in using Android as a base for their infotainment systems. Uconnect 5 brings with it a number of new features. It brings full Alexa integration, so you can use it just like you do at home, provided you have a data plan for the car. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto continue to be standard, but now they can be used wirelessly. You can also now connect two phones via Bluetooth wirelessly so you can access content from both. Navigation gets real time information and updates from TomTom. Users can create five profiles with unique climate, radio and instrument settings, plus one for a valet.
SRT partners with Bondurant for performance driving classes
Fri, Nov 6 2015Dodge and Bob Bondurant have announced a new partnership that will see the latter become the former's official high-performance driving school. The deal will see the Bondurant school's entire fleet of nearly 100 vehicles switched over from mostly General Motors products to Dodge Chargers, Challengers, and Vipers. It will give paying customers the chance to drive models like the new Hellcats and even the Viper ACR (for those deemed qualified to drive it) on the track in Arizona. The arrangement won't only benefit Bondurant clients, though. Anyone who buys or leases a new SRT model will get a one-day course at the school, including professional instruction on track. They'll have to pay for their own travel and accommodations, but the instruction will hopefully show more drivers of SRT vehicles how to handle all that muscle they've got at their disposal.
