This auction is for my 1970 Dodge Challenger. It is not a numbers matching vehicle. It was a real R/T SE 383 Rallye Red 4 speed car but was missing the drive train and most of the floor due to rust and had been hit in the rear. I used 2 parts cars along with this one to build what you see here. It now has a 440 six pack with 727 torque flyte transmission with 3.23 sure grip rear end. The engine is a 1975 vintage 440 that was built by Wheeler Racing Engines in Blaine Minn. It is built to stock specs and runs well on pump premium gas. It produced 392 HP @4600 RPM and 485 ft lbs of torque at 3800 RPM on the dyno. The 727 was built using the Hemi sprag and planetary gear along with a shift kit and 3400 rpm stall converter. It was finished in 1999 and was driven to the Mopar Nationals where it made two high 13 second passes down the 1320 at around 100mph. It has not been raced since then. It has been a show pooch and driven about 14,000 miles since being restified and has received many 1st & 2nd place awards over the years and still shows well. It received "Best Muscle Car" award at it's only outing in 2013. Many NOS & new re production parts and upgrades went into this restification such as all Polyurethane suspension bushings, 1" front sway bar and High performance rear leaf springs and factory rear sway bar. It was upgraded to front disc brakes from a 74 Challenger with all new brake lines, cylinders and hoses. The fuel lines were upgraded to 3/8 & 1/4" return lines along with fuel sender and new tank. New vinyl roof, new leather seat upholstery, carpeting from Legendary and Year one suppliers. Dash pad was rebuilt by Just Dashes. No one was re producing the SE headliner so I opted for the bowed headliner without the overhead console. There are a couple other SE factory parts that did not make it back on this car. The rear aluminum panel was not salvageable and I opted for the black paint in place of the argent silver painted panel. and the grille and headlight bezels were powder coated in satin black as well. Also eliminated was the bright trim under the front bumper. All of the emblems and stainless are either new or restored. The radiator was rebuilt by GlenRay radiators using the best core available. The engine, alternator, water pump and power steering pump pulleys were replaced with March Pulleys and serpentine belt. Other upgrades were to the radio that was replaced by a Sony CD player unit and has the highly desired 3 speaker dash that not many of these cars had back in the day. Also a rear mounted power antenna was installed. The pistol grip gunslinger shifter and Mr Norm dealership sticker was another personal addition. This car is not an original Mr Norm car. I am sure I missed a few items but wanted any potential buyers to not be miss lead.
I have enjoyed this car and hate to see it go but my wife wants a 68 Bullitt Charger clone and I need to keep the peace along with needing the garage space and the money to enable that project. I have a $30K reserve that is much less that I have invested but I have had more than a decade of enjoyment with it that has to be worth something. I reserve the right to end this auction early as it is for sale locally.
This car had been appraised a few years ago at 35K for insurance reasons and I believe it to be in the #2 category. "Old Cars Buyers Guide" shows a #2 Challenger at around $36,000.00 with add 75% for 440 six pack. If this car was a real numbers matching 440 six pack car it would be a 50K trailer queen and not something you could drive and enjoy. They are only worth what someone else will pay so you be the judge.
Winning bidder must make arrangement for payment and pick up within 10 days of end of auction. The title will be turned over the to buyer upon meeting these requirements.
Thanks for the interest.

Dodge Charger and Challenger go Plum Crazy for Woodward Dream Cruise
Wed, Aug 12 2015Dodge will be rolling through a purple haze at the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise on August 15 with the reintroduction of Plum Crazy to the color options on most trims of the 2016 Challenger and Charger. To premiere the latest use of the wild shade, the brand's display at the annual Detroit-area automotive event will be showing off violet versions of the 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack. The brash tone originally debuted in 1970, but Dodge has kept the lavender hue special in recent years by limiting the option to specific trims. It was last offered during the 2014 model year on R/T and SRT trims of the two vehicles. Practically any buyer will be able to go Plum Crazy if they want. On the Challenger, the color will be available on the SXT Plus, R/T models, Hemi Scat Pack Shaker, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat trims. The choices for the Charger will be similarly broad, including the SXT when ordered with 20-inch wheels, R/T versions, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat. Customers desperately wanting a vehicle in the insanely violet shade will be able to place the first orders in September, and dealers will get the chance from October through the end of the year. Production of the lavender muscle cars will then commence in November. Dodge Debuts Plum Crazy Heritage Hue for 2016 Challenger and Charger at Woodward Dream Cruise, Provides Collector-demanded Production Numbers for High-impact Paint Colors New 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack Models in Plum Crazy Will Be Shown at the Dodge Display at 13 Mile and Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, Mich.
Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to Big Apple
Mon, 07 Apr 2014The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.
As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."
As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.
2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline revs into Chicago
Fri, 01 Feb 2013When Dodge released the Challenger Rallye Redline last year, it brought a new dimension of styling to the car's classic muscle car lines, but it was only available in V6 form lacking the oomph to back up its sinister appearance. To remedy that situation, Dodge is unveiling the Challenger R/T Redline, powered by a Hemi V8 engine, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Other than the extra cylinders, most of the R/T's Redline package carries over from the Rallye model including the custom-look 20-inch black chrome wheels with red paint accents, but the R/T version of the package gets more of a retro look to the side stripes with graphite graphics featuring Redline lettering. Cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will get a performance-tuned, low-restriction exhaust allowing the engine to produce 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque; cars with the five-speed auto are rated at 372 hp and 400 lb-ft, but they do offer a bright chrome Mopar t-handle shifter and steering wheel paddle shifters.
The R/T Redline Group is offered only on cars painted in Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White and Pitch Black, and it adds just $1,995 to the MSRP of the Challenger R/T (starting at $31,990) and the Challenger R/T Plus (starting at $33,990), which adds features like Nappa leather and Boston Acoustics speakers.
