 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.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos

Wed, 21 May 2014

Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.

Dodge rolls out Shaker package for 2015 Challenger

Mon, Feb 16 2015

Having an awesome Hemi engine under the hood can deliver impressive performance, but for those who lament not being able to see that big V8 engine doing its thing, hidden away under the hood, Dodge offers the Shaker hood on its Challenger muscle car. And it's just released the option for the updated 2015 model. Now available on two engines and three trim levels – including the Challenger R/T and R/T Plus with the 5.7-liter V8 and the 6.4-liter Challenger 392 – the new Shaker hood brings cold air into the engine compartment and lets everyone see that V8 (or at least an appendage thereof) shaking away in plain view. Arriving 45 years after the original Shaker Challenger, the package includes a satin black hood scoop, cold-air intake, conical air filter and optimized air box, along with Shaker graphics inside, out and under the hood. The 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and R/T Plus Shaker are available to order now, priced at $35,495 and $38,495, respectively (plus a $995 destination charge), and come bundled with the Super Track Pak. Order books open in March for the 392 HEMI Shaker, which also comes with the Scat Pack, for $42,495 (plus destination and $1,000 gas-guzzler tax if equipped with the manual transmission).
