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.

Dodge Durango gets performance Mopar options for R/T, SRT

Thu, Feb 8 2018

Fiat Chrysler is showing new performance add-ons for the 2018 Dodge Durango R/T and SRT models at the Chicago Auto Show, including the familiar Dodge dual center stripes and a new Mopar exhaust system. The 475-horsepower SRT model, which is powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi V8, will also offer a lowering spring kit and a carbon-fiber instrument panel. The signature two-stripe treatment blankets the three-row SUV from the front to rear fascia and is tailored to the signature NACA duct-hood vent. It'll come in five different colors — bright blue, flame red, gunmetal low gloss (metallic finish), low-gloss black and sterling silver Â— and retail for $1,195 starting in March. View 7 Photos Mopar developed its new bolt-on performance exhaust systems with Dodge SRT engineers and designers to improve flow and achieve that sweet sound. It features a chromium 304 stainless steel construction to make it more resistant to corrosion, with stainless steel band-style clamps and welded and polished 4-inch tips. It costs $1,595 for the Durango R/T and is available now. On the SRT, the price goes up to $1,850, with the package available in the second quarter. New Mopar springs improve the Durango SRT's high-speed cornering stability and consistency by lowering the SUV an average of 15 millimeters, or 0.6 inches. They were developed with proprietary Dodge SRT data not available to the aftermarket to tune the lowering springs to the factory dampers, giving the vehicle less rear-end squat during acceleration, less nose dive while braking and reduced body roll on corners. MSRP on the package, which is available now, is $325. For just under $2,500 you can get the SRT Interior Appearance Group package, which adds a premium-wrapped carbon-fiber instrument panel and door bezels, Dinamica soft-touch headliner and accent paint on speaker trim rings. The Chicago Auto Show is open to the public Feb. 10-19.

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?
