1970 dodge charger 500, great restoration project I bought this car to restore. I just bought a numbers matching 70 R/T charger so I have to let this one go.
It was a 318 car originally and now has a healthy 400 in it. This is a very easy engine to stroke up to 500 or 512. Engine runs good and has headers already and does not smoke, was an a/c car but the components are missing from under the hood and dash. Transmission it came with was a 727 which was removed as it wasn't salvageable. So it was and is easily a running car, I drove it 1,000 miles when I bought it last year but will need a transmission of whatever flavor you want to put in it. Very solid body with nice frame rails, floor pans are so-so, trunk pan was done in fiberglass by someone, it's functional, roof is solid, bottom of back window is solid, solid fenders, solid doors, may need some quarter patches as it has rust and bondo in the quarters as usual. Was originally a vinyl roof car and those trims are present. Burnt orange metallic car with matching interior. They spray canned the car a matte black and added centerline mags as a Fast-n-furious type look I suppose. Windows are all present and work, they had been tinted very dark. fender tag is missing, but unless you are going for a return to 'as-built' condition you won't miss it. Dash gauges are all present and worked but were not calibrated properly. Dash itself is in pretty good condition and that's good as that tends to be an expensive part. Interior is original interior minus a headliner. Car ran and drove good but not sure if I would trust it on a long trip as it's biggest issue is wiring or lack of good wiring by previous owners. I have purchased a Ron Francis complete wiring kit for this car which can be included if the winning bidder wants to add it in for $400. Power drum brake car and the booster needs a new membrane as they don't have power but are manual drums right now. Overall a solid car that presents well even in this condition. I gauge it as about a medium resto project. A lot of detail work if you're going for an as stock restoration. If you are just building up a street prowling Mopar than a lot of the work can be even easier as you're not confined by concourse standards. Would make an excellent build for someone who has a little time to create a nice racer or pro street style Charger. Or just throw in a transmission, better wiring harness and a new brake booster and drive as is! Being a 318 car originally you can build it up or clone it into an R/T without altering one of the very valuable cars. The Car has a good street look and it can be built up to be a nasty street car or drag car. As I have several other cars to rebuild I need the money elsewhere. I was not going to sell this car but there's no sense in keeping it now that I have a fully restored R/T. |

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.
These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond
Fri, Jun 21 2024While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years. We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.  Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."  Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?  Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.  Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.  Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.  Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
