 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.

Classic Design Concepts has another riff on the widebody Challenger

Wed, Nov 2 2016

Dodge is secretly working on a widebody Hellcat-powered Challenger dubbed the ADR. But for those that can't wait a few years, there's this – Classic Design Concepts' Group 2 Widebody Challenger that was unveiled at SEMA. The original Group 2 Widebody Challenger from CDC made its debut at SEMA back in 2008, but was given a new look for this year's trade show. The car, which you can scrutinize in the gallery above, features a bright red paint job with a blacked-out American flag on the left rear fender and "Hemi" in yellow on the right side. The wheels are also color-coated to match the rear billboard fenders, with the right side being finished in yellow and the left side a dark gray. CDC's body kit is wide, slammed to the ground, and menacing. And if you happen to forget that this is a widebody Challenger, because the extra six inches of width are hard to miss, there's a clear reminder on the back of the car.

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."

Viper fans are at the Nurburgring to reclaim production-car speed record

Fri, Jul 21 2017

With the outgoing generation of the Viper, Dodge missed a fabulous opportunity to set another Nurburgring lap record. The company did it, twice, with the previous-generation Viper ACR, but never went back with the latest ACR, and it definitely won't now that the car is being discontinued. This is why a group of Viper fans began fundraising back in January to take ACRs to the 'Ring for one more shot at glory. And, right now, that group is in Germany preparing for the attempt. The team made it thanks to support from GoFundMe donors, and sponsorship from Kumho Tires and Prefix, a design and prototype company based in Michigan. They're using two Viper ACR GTS-R commemorative-edition cars, which are appropriate for competing track cars since they have the same white-with-blue-stripes color scheme as Dodge's old Viper GTS-R racecars. The cars are supplied from ViperExchange and BJ Motors and equipped with Kumho Ecsta V720 tires. According to the group's Facebook page, the team has been practicing since Wednesday, July 19. A video posted today highlighted that the only mechanical issue so far has been an overheating problem that was solved with a new thermostat. Each car is running a different suspension setup for practice - one soft, the other hard - and they'll adjust them as needed. The plan is that both cars will use the same setup on the record attempt. To claim the record without any argument will require beating the 6:45.9 time set by the Nio EP9 electric car. Right behind it is the Radical SR8LM, which is technically street-legal, but not really a street car. It set a time of 6:48. As for true street cars with gasoline engines, the target the Viper team will really want to beat is the Lamborghini Huracan Performante, which pulled off a time of 6:52. You can track the team's progress at its Facebook page. Related Video: Image Credit: Dodge Auto News Motorsports Dodge Coupe Performance Supercars dodge viper acr nio ep9
