Up for sale is this awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger. This car just went through a complete professional restoration, and nearly every nut and bolt is new. All rotted metal was cut out and replaced, no bondo was used on this ride. The car was just repainted, in awesome Plum Crazy metallic paint. New fiberglass hood, with hood scoop, new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, and new windshield.

 

Car was originally a 318, but was replaced with a rebuilt 440, that has under 10,000 miles. Everything else is new and has less than 200 miles, including: a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift kit and B&M Quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a rebuilt rear. New headers with a 3" Flowmaster exhaust. Rebuilt carb. New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling fan. Chrome valve covers, alternator and pullies. MSD Ignition and distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder. New front and rear sway bars. Also, both center headlights were removed and replaced with a chromed out, cold ram air system with dual air filters and you really feel it when you step on the gas.

 

The interior is also completely redone. New carpet, seat covers front and rear, Grant steering wheel, headliner, custom floor mats and a new dash pad. Blue LED lighting added under seats and dash. And Blue LED streetglow around the underneath side of car, that really lights up the road.

 

Now the negatives, which are basically insignificant when compared to all of the new items on this restored classic.

The windshield wipers have stopped working. I just found out that it is an electrical issue that may possibly be corrected soon. Also, the fuel gauge does not work. The rods in the doors are not connected to the key locks, so it can not be locked from the outside- only from the inside. So there are a few little things that need to be fixed, but for what this car will be used for, they do not need to be fixed immediately to enjoy the car. A hose going to the steering box has a very small leak- I am currently working on fixing this issue.

All of the minor issues listed above are accounted for in the reserve price. 

-As you can see in these pictures, there is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the fender, not the fender. The chip is slightly touched up to the point that it is barely noticeable. All other paint is flawless and just about show quality, no dents, no scratches.

- Also, although the vinyl top is new, it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back. You will have to look very closely to even notice.

 

The reserve is set very reasonably. I have done my very best to list even the smallest issues, so there will be absolutely no surprises when you view the car. I purchased this vehicle mid-way through the summer last year.  Since that time, my financial situation has changed. Over 40k has been spent to rebuild the car. Getting divorced last year has really sent my finances for a loop! I need to part with some things I really enjoy, but do not need to survive.  My loss is your gain. Good luck!

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.

Dodge to reveal Hellcat-powered Challenger in Detroit?

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

On top of all the other performance car debuts slated for next week's Detroit Auto Show, we might be able to add one more to the list - the new, supercharged Hellcat V8 from Chrysler. According to new reports, the rumored 640-horsepower mill is likely to cross the Motor City stage in the engine bay of a Dodge Challenger.
As AllPar points out, though, there may be more news than just the fire-breathing engine. While we've seen spy photos of the Hellcat testing under the hood of the current Challenger, there's a very fair chance that it won't arrive until the muscle car is refreshed later this year. The question now is whether that refresh will be shown off alongside the new engine in Detroit, or if it'll be saved, perhaps for the New York Auto Show.
Other details dug up by AllPar include potential transmissions for the supercharged engine - the Mopar-minded site is expecting an eight-speed automatic or a Tremec six-speed manual. Prices, meanwhile, could be in the same elevated range as the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, at $70,000 to $80,000.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014



We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.
