 You are bidding on an unrestored 1970 Dodge Charger 500.  This car was born with a 383 (big block car) and currently has a 440 in it.  Obviously this is not a number matching car.  Has a 727 automatic with a console shifter.  The car is very complete.  Comes with the original bucket seats and rear bench seat (not in the car but pictured) that would need re-upholstered.  There are different aftermarket bucket seats in it now.  The car comes with an extra original Chrome bumper in nice condition (these go for over $1k on Ebay alone and were a 1 year run as the 69 and 71 had very different bumpers/grills). 

The 440 that is in the car now runs pretty strong and sounds exactly like you would expect it.  It does have a slight exhaust leak in one of the headers.  It has an Edelbrock aftermarket intake manifold and a recently replaced Holly Carb (no details on either, they were on the car when I purchased 3 years ago).  I drove it about 30 minutes to where it sits now last fall with no problems other than non-stop "thumbs up" from all the guys I passed on the highway.  The tires have never had any air added in the last 3 years and sits on the Magnum 500 wheels.  I am not certain of the mileage on the car as the odometer stopped before I bought it.

the body seems pretty straight and solid.  Some pictures of the frame rails included.  Its about as solid of an unrestored project Mopar you will find.  There are not many unrestored that are this complete (of course, not original motor in this case) and in this good a starting condition.  If you bring a battery, you can drive it home (within reasonable distance for safety of course since the breaks would need a good once over).  Its been in a garage ever since I have owned it (again 3 years).  The guy I bought it from in Indiana had it in a storage unit the whole time he owned it.  There is not much of any surface rust.

For the winning bidder I will also throw in the following restoration book written specifically for the 1970 Charger: 

Project Charger: The Step-By-Step Restoration of a Popular Vintage Car

 
by Larry Lyles

The reserve is set low for this rare piece of Mopar history.  I will require a $500 deposit at the close of bidding.  You will be responsible for pick-up or arranging for shipping.  The car has a clear title in my name in my possession.  Nothing funny about the title or ownership here.  No bill or sale or any of that non-sense needed. 


If the car does not sell here, I will likely take it to Mopar Nats in Columbus and sell it.  Get it now before the Mopar nation gets their hands on it.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.

The 2017 Dodge Charger Pursuit will always watch your back

Thu, Feb 9 2017

Police cruisers spend the majority of their life parked and idle, waiting for the call to action. A parked car is a vulnerable one, especially when there may be incentive to disable or destroy that vehicle. FCA has worked with InterMotive, Inc., to supply safety technology that will detect movement behind the vehicle through the combined use of radar and the rear-view camera. Even better, FCA is putting this tech in every 2017 Dodge Charger Pursuit at no extra cost. According to InterMotive, the Officer Protection Package is designed to help awareness with an officer is parked and working inside the vehicle. The system will provide an alert if there is anyone moving behind the vehicle to ambush the officer. The system plugs into the OBDII port and is secured under the dash. The device can then be manually switched on. This triggers the rear parking sensors to activate and. If any movement is detected, the officer can look behind the car through the rear-view camera. The system will automatically lock the doors, roll up the windows and flash the taillights. No word on how much the system will cost for non-2017 vehicles, but it is available for order right now.
