The Body is refinished in its original R6 red paint including the interior floors, trunk floors, engine compartment, and complete undercarrage. The paint was sprayed in a brand new down draft heated paint booth. (I think this was the 5th car painted in the booth). Then almost fourty hours of color sanding and several stages of buffing. With a lot of cars on-line, the vehicles look better in pictures then in person. With this car, the pictures do not do it justice. This car must be seen in person to be appreciated. It was painted four years ago and in storage ever since.
The Interior compartment has a brand new carpet, new seat covers and foam, new headliner, door panels and trim, new seat belts, new console and trim, rechromed shifter, new sills and more. The insturment cluster has been restored by Auto Insturments. The guages were refinished and calabrated, the needles were bead blasted and repainted and the plastic chrome was refinsihed which all make this unit looking and functioning like new. This charger was radio delete so there is no stereo. All the window seals and gaskets have been replaced and all the window slides and felts are new also. All the glass was removed during painted and was buffed before reinstalling. The windshield (clear, not tinted) is new.
The undercarrage was sandblasted and refinished. It has three different types of primers were applied before it was base coat/clear coated in R6 red. The exhaust is reproduction. All the shocks are correct, suspension was restored to original as well as brakes, fuel lines, brake lines, bushings, emergency brake cables, body plugs, gas tank, sending unit, straps, ect.
The engine is a cast 1969 block. It is not matching numbers to the car. It has been completely rebuilt. It has the correct carter carburator, it has been rebuilt and rejetted to the cam card of the rebuilt kit used. Also the engine has the correct intake and exhaust manifolds, the correct water pump housing, the correct valve covers, the correct wiring with reproduction identication stickers wrapped around the them. The correct heater hoses, correct vacuum hoses for the hideaway headlights, the correct distributer and coil with the 2 of 69 build date. It has the correct battey cables with tags. There are reproduction enging compartment decals throughout. It has a standard battery with a battery topper on it. This 440 runs strong and smooth with only less then 100 miles on it since its rebuild. It has a crane cam and rollor rockers from the 440 souce. There is a new compition clutch behind it.
The transmission has been rebuilt and refinished. It is matching numbers aer original to the car.
The rear is a brand new unit from DTS drum to drum. The chrome diff cover ofcorse not correct, but that could easily be corrected by the new owner if so desired.
The wheels are magnum 500s which according to the build sheet are not correct. The car came with 14 inch steel wheels with hub caps from the factory with red line tires. We choose to use the 15 inch magnums with BF Goodrich radial red line tires for looks. This can also be easily swapped by the new owner.
The trunk compartment was also restored to original. The trunk floors are original and solid. The inside of the quarter panels were refinished body color, the jack was restored and repainted. The spare wears the same BF Goodrich red line tire thats on the other four wheels.
The brakes are all drum with is correct according to the build sheet.
The grill has been restored, there are no broken teeth in it. The headlight doors work properly as well.
I tried to cover everything. Please ask questions and come see the car for yourself in person. Vehicle is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early for the right offer.
There is a facebook page for this car simply called Charger Rt There are over 80 pictures ( all close ups ) As the days go by I will be posting more pics, mostly undercarrage. Click on the links below for the pictures.

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand
Thu, May 14 2015Hopefully, 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.

Dodge Dart Mopar '13 special edition recalled over airbag woes
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.
MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
