Rallye Edition In Original Lime Green Color, With 318 V-8 & Torque Flight on 2040-cars

Year:1973 Mileage:57382
Location:

Binghamton, New York, United States

Binghamton, New York, United States

The vehicle being auctioned is a 1973 Challenger Rallye Edition that the successful bidder can drive home.  The 318 V-8 is equipped with a 2 barrel carburetor and exhaust headers.  The Torque Flight transmission shifts normally.  It has a pleasing, strong exhaust note that attracts positive attention. The car is equipped with manual steering and brakes.  The windshield wipers work as does the horn.  The vehicle is being re-listed due to a non-paying high bidder.

Interior:  original Dark Green with decent carpet and some cracks and visible wear in the vinyl upholstery which is typical for a 40 year old car.  However, it is still functional and can be left as is, updated or recovered.  It has a working factory tachometer, speedometer and gauges including water temperature, amp gauge and fuel gauge.  The factory oil pressure gauge is not working but an accessory column mounted oil pressure gauge is in place and working.  The car has a working aftermarket radio.  The dash pad and door panels are all in decent condition but of course show common wear and tear for a vehicle of this age.  The car has an original Challenger console with SlapStik T-handle but also had the automatic transmission selector quadrant on the column which leads me to believe that the car had the console and shifter added somewhere in its' life.

Exterior:  The car still wears original rare Lime Green color.  The car has likely been refinished and has had typical body/rust repair/touch up work done to the quarters and front inner fender wells.  The floors are solid.  I want to emphasize that the car shows reasonably well, is a driver and can be driven and enjoyed as is or can be upgraded/restored over time.  The paint has some fading on the hood, roof and trunk panel.  There is surface bubbling on both lower rear quarters behind the rear wheels.  I believe that the driver's door has been replaced with a door from another Challenger at some point. The window crank mechanism for the driver's window is not operating. The chrome on both bumpers is very decent for the age of the car and looks good! Speaking of bumpers, '73 was the first year of 5 mile per hour bumpers that protruded from the front and rear bumpers.  All 4 have been removed and are in the trunk to either be put in storage or remounted.  All glass is in good condition.  One of the Rallye Wheel trim rings is battered but in place on the car. The trunk floor is all there with the exception of one small hole about the size of a common nail head. Jack and spare are in the trunk.

I have the original Broadcast Sheet (build sheet) for the car (see photo).  The fender tag is in place and the VIN numbers on the New York State Title, fender tag, Broadcast Sheet and windshield VIN tag all agree.

If you have questions, please ask them prior to bidding.  If you would like to schedule a pre bid inspection, let me know. If you are an International Bidder, I will be happy to work with you.  However, you must be responsible for all international shipping arrangements. 

The commerative plates displayed on the front and rear of the car are not part of the sale.

Summary:  This is a car that can be driven and enjoyed!  I have tried to answer as many questions as possible and if you have others, let me know.  The car is for sale locally and as a result the auction could end early.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

2013 Dart GT will hold us over until SRT stokes Dodge's handsome compact

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

No, this isn't quite the Dart SRT4 we've been waiting for - and still believe is coming - but as part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show lineup, Dodge will be showing off the slightly sportier Dart GT seen here.
Building on the already well-equipped Limited model, the GT adds performance enhancements including a more powerful engine, 18-inch aluminum wheels, sport suspension calibration, unique front fascia and dual exhaust. Inside, you'll find perforated Nappa leather seats, a heated steering wheel and front seats, dual-zone climate control, remote start (if you spec the automatic transmission), Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, a seven-inch TFT display in the gauge cluster, and a whole lot more. Optional goodies include hyper black aluminum wheels, a technology group (pushbutton start, keyless go, rain-sensing wipers, blind spot monitoring and smart-beam headlamps), power sunroof, Sirius radio, Garmin navigation, Alpine premium sound and high-intensity discharge headlamps.
Powering the Dart GT is Chrysler's 2.4-liter MultiAir2 four-cylinder engine producing 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. That grunt is sent to the front wheels via a standard six-speed manual transmission, but a six-speed automatic 'box is optional.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Hold onto your butts. "600-plus horsepower" is what we were told to expect from the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. But as we've just learned, those were incredibly conservative numbers. Dodge has officially announced that the range-topping Challenger will hit the asphalt with 707 - seven hundred and seven - horsepower, making it the "most powerful muscle car ever."
Of course, 707 hp is only part of the story, as the Hellcat has also been confirmed to produce 650 pound-feet of torque. All that power will run exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that differs from other Challengers. The new gearbox, 8HP90 (rather than the 8HP70) is "upgraded to handle the extra power and torque," says Dan Reid, SRT's manager of product design and motorsports.
We certainly hope you're prepared to spend a ton of money replacing tires.
