1974,1970 Dodge Challenger 440 Magnum,rt, Ac,used In Movie Two Guns And Others on 2040-cars

 This auction is for a really cool Mopar. This Dodge Challenger was assembled by Picture Car Warehouse and has been used in two hit, major motion pictures. It has also been used in a music video and a couple commercials. It was the "Hero" car in the recently released movie, "Two Guns", starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. This was the actual car seen throughout the movie being driven by Wahlberg with Denzel in the passenger seat. It was also one of the futuristic police vehicles seen in the movie "In Time" starring Justin Timberlake. The car was slightly modified for duty in the flick with custom light bars and wheels. It was further modified to be used in Two Guns with custom outer door handles and mirrors. In both movies the car was a flat black finish.
The car started out as a 1974 Dodge Challenger. It was modified to look like the much better looking(and more popular) 1970 Challenger R/T. It was fitted with the mighty 440 V8 and an HD Torqflite automatic trans. The car doesn't appear to have ever been wrecked and as far as I can tell, is rust free. I've looked the car over pretty well and haven't found any rust.
There are of course, numerous mods that were employed to allow this Challenger to perform its movie duties. It has a lot of additional wiring, solenoids, LEDS, tow bar, big radiator, additional gauges,etc. There is even a special handbrake attached to a device that allows for easy handbrake 180 stunt turns on demand! It has been wired to accept dual batteries which are now mounted in the trunk.
The AC system is a high quality aftermarket system that was probably installed to keep the A-list actors cool during shoots(can't have Denzel sweating on set). I haven't actually activated it, but it is all there and hooked up, so I'd expect that it works fine. There are a number of additional gauges to monitor engine functions. There is an aftermarket steering wheel and a competition, floor mounted trans shifter.
The Challenger is also fitted with a roll bar and competition harnesses.. It has a very nice set of chromed, rally, Magnum 500 wheels and new tires. Its been lowered and has a wicked stance. This Mopar just looks nasty with its flat black paint, lowering and big block rumble.
Front disc brakes and power steering ensure a safe drive. The body is very nice and straight and has an RT hood. There are solenoids under the trunk lid and within the doors(probably left over from the In Time movie-as the car was devoid of external trim in that flick).
The dash pad is very nice, the carpet is good and the headliner looks new. The bumpers appear to have been coated with a silver finish that resembles chrome but isn't as reflective-maybe so that the chrome doesn't affect lighting during filming.
This Challenger drives down the road well, starts right up and runs well.
During my ownership, I've had the transmission completely rebuilt to Mopar Hemi car specs-it shifts great, I've redone the cooling system with new relays, fans and a fresh radiator. There is also a new trans shifter cable, new door weatherstripping, full tune up items(plugs, wiring, fluids, filters,etc).
Issues?  Sure, as a former movie car there are items that either need to be addressed or left as is to preserve the movie history. The modified door handles don't work very well. The driver door sometimes sticks when opening from the outside and the passenger door from the inside. Should the new owner wish to convert back to standard Mopar E-body, I'll incude a couple standard outside door handles for a 70 Challanger. The front seats are split in a few places and could stand to be recovered. The tach stopped working, but every thing else is working at the moment. While the body is very straight, some of the minor trim items used to convert to a 1970 R/T are of movie/driver quality. The rear quarter windows need their trim attached.The door panels have been dyed and, while intact, are worn.
 Much of the dash and interior light bulbs have been replace with LEDS. There is a lot of extra wiring throughout that was used for the other movie, In Time, to power the various light bars. I didn't remove them as someone might wish to return the car to that configuration(I have a contact number to obtain all the extra equipment from In Time(light bars, wheels, etc). The car has a salvage title-why? I have no idea as the car isn't rusty, nor can I find any evidence of prior damage. Maybe it was something to do with its movie history or perhaps it was a theft recovery, I don't know. I do have a clear title and all documentation from the movie company certifying its use in both movies. All the VINS, door stickers and fender tag are in place.
In summary, here is a great opportunity to own the Mopar that many want-the E-body(Challenger/Cuda). This one is ready to enjoy now as it is a runner and doesn't need rust or body repair. As a bonus, its powered by a big block! While many would find its very extensive Hollywood history worth preserving, it wouldn't be too difficult to paint it a wild, high impact color and return it to a factory appearance. Its a very cool, one of a kind Mopar with a great history. Offered at no reserve and sold "As Is" of course. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
