For sale is this numbers matching 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 with a 727 torqueflight automatic transmission.  This car is in great shape!  If you are in the market for a car that is ready to drive, this is the car is for you.  If you are looking for a frame off restoration candidate, it is tough to find a more complete and original car.  The interior is in incredible shape and includes the original console and original radio (radio is installed but not functioning at this time).  The body on the car is very straight.  There are a few minor rust spots on the rear quarter panels behind the rear tires.  If you are familiar with these cars, this is a very typical location for rust to start. The trunk pan has had some work done to it by a previous owner (see photo), but would need to be replaced to be right.  The vinyl top is in good shape, and there are no signs of rust bubbles anywhere on the roof or behind the back glass, which are also common areas of concern on these cars.


The 727 torqueflight transmission is recently rebuilt.  The car has been driven less than 100 miles since the transmission was rebuilt.  There is a small drip out of the rear seal, and I believe when the drive shaft was re-installed, the rear seal was bumped out of place.  I have a replacement seal, but have not replaced it yet.  The car has power drum brakes with new pads, solenoids, and a new power brake booster. This car still has the factory a/c (a/c is not charged).  This car also has factory power steering.  The power steering pump has a small leak and may need rebuilding or replaced.  Also, the heater core is not currently connected, and needs to be replaced.

The odometer reads 27,925mi. I believe this to be the original mileage, but don't know if it the odometer rolled over and this is actually 127,925.

You’ll notice the R/T scoops on the doors. This was typically a 1970 feature. I have been told this was an option on later 1969 models, but I have not confirmed that.  They may have been added by a previous owner.

Bottom line, this is a really nice car. It isn't perfect, and is not being advertised as such.  I have tried to mention the items I am aware of that need to be corrected on the car to make it closer to perfect.  Again, this is a very complete car, and with a little work and a fresh coat of paint, it could be back to show room quality.

Successful buyer is to pay non-refundable deposit of $500 within 48 hours of auctions end.  PayPal is an okay payment method for the deposit. The balance of payment is due with 7 days of the end of the auction.  Balance of payment is to be in the form of cash, money order, or I will consider a bank wire transfer.  The funds will need to clear prior to release of the car.  The buyer will be responsible for arranging shipping and paying all shipping charges.  Obviously, I will discuss timing of pick-up of the vehicle with the successful buyer. The car is sold as is with no exceptions.  There are no warranties expressed or written. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

If you are a serious buyer and want to discuss details, please call me at 318-243-3016.

1970 Hemi Challenger is a family heirloom with serious muscle

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Petrolicious turns up the emotion in its latest video about a family's connection to their 1970 Dodge Challenger. The orange muscle car that gets the spotlight here is a remarkably beautiful vehicle, but the story of a father and his sons at the core of this clip might leave you feeling a little misty eyed. Juan Escalante is the current owner of this Challenger, but it belonged to his dad first. Juan's father spotted the iconic muscle car during the 1969 Detroit Auto Show and had to have one. He soon placed an order for the orange '70 Challenger R/T with the rare combination for that year of a 426 Hemi V8 and a four-speed manual gearbox. The family even brought the coupe with them when they moved to Venezuela in 1972, and local fans dubbed it El Hemi. However, parts were scarce for the muscle car in that country, and it returned to the US in 1996 for a restoration. Now, the rumbling Challenger with its Coke-bottle profile and black hood is the world's most awesome family heirloom for the Escalantes. In this poignant video, Petrolicious shows how the coupe connects Juan to his father. Related Video:

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Dodge performance trio thrashed on Roadkill

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Of all the shows that Motor Trend does, Roadkill is probably the last one we'd pick to evaluate the latest performance automobiles. That's not a slight against David Freiburger or Mike Finnegan, who host the show: they're certified gear-heads and the go-to guys when it comes to hot rods, rat rods and anything grungier than it is shiny. But as exemplary as they are of Detroit muscle, the Charger Hellcat, Challenger Hellcat and Viper are also shiny new pieces of metal. Still, since it will now be sponsoring the show, someone at Dodge apparently thought it would be a good idea to hand Freiburger and Finnegan the keys to the company's top performance models. So to ring the best out of them, they solicited help from some of their colleagues at MT, gained access to a closed-down air strip, devised as many ways as they could to destroy the tires, and proceeded to set about doing exactly that. Watch the grin-inducing mayhem unfold in the half-hour clip above. Related Video:
