    Over the past 30+ years of selling cars this by far is my favorite..It started out as a 318 automatic challenger convertible, have 2 factory build sheets to go along with the car. It was owned for a long time owner in North Carolina for many years before it was purchased back in 2007 when the restoration of the car took off. I will tell you that a Dodge mechanic of 20+ years owned and restored this vehicle to the condition it is in now. He searched a long time for a solid e-body to build his dream car and after years of looking at over 30 cars he had finally found this solid Challenger.

 This car was taken down as far as you can go with and started back from the ground up. It is about 95% done now and is by far and away the best E body I have driven in, ever. The car now sports a period correct 440-6 pack motor that has some work done to push the horse power level to a estimated 450 or so. The car looks to be all stock but when you here it through the 3" TTI exhaust and those factory tips you know it has a bit more the a stock 375 horsepower back in the day. So, the motor, trans and rear have less then a 1000 miles on it since the car was 95% finished in 2010. The trans has a small 2600 stall speed converter and the rear is redone with a 3.91 posi rear. The car has factory Air condition that works and you can see the air filter was notched out in the front to help clear the A-C.

 It has a 1" spacer to lift the carbs up a little to clear for the a-c, the fuel tank, lines, brake lines, hoses, wheel cylinders and so on are all new back in 2010 also. The car still has the Original white top with no tears and he decided to leave that top on. It will come with a new white top in the box with a new rear window (have the original glass window on the car), it will also come with the white side RT stripes and RT hood logo in white..I decided not to put these on and will let the new owner decide if they want them on..As you can see in the pictures the floors, behind the door panels, everything was painted and cleared coated with no short cuts taken..I wont even tell you how much this paint job cost, lets say it was over $10,000..

 I will add a video tonight sometime when I can so you can get a true look at this car and hear it run. Open to offers to close the auction at anytime, as you can see in pictures this car is a one of a kind..I drove this car 30 miles from work and was stopped 3 times while I was driving to be asked all kind of questions. I am sure I am forgetting a few things but I will add more information later so please look again so you can watch the video and read more about it. I have the 71 wood steering wheel also to go with the car, am radio was just set in the hole for pictures, will try and get mounted before the end of the auction..

  Paint is a 9.8 out of 10, body 100% perfect, interior is 90% done still has the original front and rear seat covers, has the original dash with a small 1 in crack ( hard to see) just a awesome car..If it does not sell I will be adding the stripes on it and driving it for the summer time..No need to sell..But a must have for a collector..  .Do not miss this one guys - gals..  

  Front end suspension all redone, front and rear sway bars, the rear springs were new all done in 2010..This car is a must see..The sun was not out in most of these pictures so if you want better pictures I have some on my cell phone I can text or email you more. Do not lose out on this car, you will never see another one with the color contrast of the Green and White interior like this...Thank you. I recently did new weather stripping on the doors, the door and window moldings, door sill plates, sun visors, the spare is a nos unit, and canister  is a re-pop, new seat backs for the buckets, new trunk mat is on the way also, car was done right..Very little to do.. Car comes with New top if you wanted to put it on, how many left with the original top and rear glass, and original windshield?   Needs just the rear convertible panels repainted ( called just dashes to do but did not want to wait 12 weeks ) speedo cable just broke, am radio hooked up, that's it..Wont find a nicer one..One of One color combo...White stripes come with the car.. Will entertain all serious offers as the car can be sold locally.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPW94nh4qDg               There are 2 videos..1 here and 1 on the bottom.




:

     To answer a few questions...The original color was dark green, of course it was taken all the way down and painted and every inch of the car was repainted and cleared. I just updated 2 pictures outside in the Sun for a better idea how this car shines and the color really pops in the Sun. The pictures do not do this car any justice, it is a must see in person. I have sold alot of cars here, hemi's and 440-6 cuda, Gto Conv, 70 Rebel Machine with 11,000 original miles, this car hands down is the nicest one to date.   You tube videos...Thumbnail

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand

Thu, May 14 2015

Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
