 Here we have a super nice survivor I actually found when I was out garage saling during a town-wide sale out in the country. The son of the original owner was selling due to his fathers death and mother not being able to drive anymore. It has never sat for any long period of time. It was periodically used to keep everything working well. I drove it home and it drove like a dream. The radial tires are excellent, the exhaust is quiet, it drives straight, brakes good, and it actually feels like a Cadillac compared to the older mopar musclecars I have. It's truly a most enjoyable ride. It is all original other then the rear lower quarters under the side trim were touched up. The son stated there was some lower surface rust his father didn't like and had a body shop do the minor repairs. The rest is all original FE5 rallye red. original vinyl top, original seat covers. carpeting, dash. trunk. engine compartment etc. When is the last time you saw a 2 dr 75 coronet, let alone in rallye red, with the original road wheels(on build sheet), and dual chromed remote racing mirrors(on build sheet). Odometer shows 61,000+ miles. The father had duct tape inside door recording his oil changes. Car came with power steering, power disc brakes, a/c, cruise control. road wheels, am radio, vinyl top, and the upgrade interior door panels and seats you get with being a Custom. This car even has the gas miser light alert on the left fender turn signal lamp. The gas crunch was big in mid 70's, so fuel mileage was important. The light will come on when you get on it or downshift indicating over consumption of fuel. It's really a neat thing for back in 75. All the guages work, runs cool, no overheating. All glass original with one rock chip on windshield behind the rear view mirror. Tires are not dry rotted and have NO sidewall cracks. Headliner, door panels excellent. Couple of small rub tears on drivers side front bench where you get in and out alot rubbing that edge. A/c all there buts needs charging. Engine compartment all original other than orange plug wires and one red heater hose. The 2 speed wiper motor works but the nut attaching them to the arms must be off(it looks tough to get to with a/c under dash). Alot of paperwork, including build sheet, dealer invoice showing he traded a 72 charger in, total cost, trade-in allowance, owners manual, etc. It's not a musclecar but I guarantee you will still get alot of attention at the cruises or car shows, just because its a survivor and something different. All I had to do was replace front disc brakes since I've had it.There is no rust out on the frame or under carriage. This is absolutely a drive home car. If its long distance I would bring a good spare tire or 2 to have piece of mind. Really don't know how old tires are. Car is still in original owners name with original 1975 small Illinois title. Ask all questions before bidding.  High bidder must sent $250 to my paypal account within 2 days after auction. Remaining balance due in cash at vehicle pick-up(with-in 7 days of end of auction). USA bidders only.

Hellcrate 6.2-liter V8 delivers plug-and-play Hellcat hype to SEMA

Mon, Oct 30 2017

SEMA just provided another entry for the folder marked "What A Time To Be Alive," with Mopar's announcement of the "Hellcrate" 6.2-liter supercharged Crate HEMI engine. Enthusiasts have been desperate to upgrade their vintage rides with the woozy thrills provided by Dodge's Hellcat motor, so Mopar answered. The Hellcrate engine assembly ships in plug-and-play configuration, in specially designed packaging with "Hellcrate" logos. The assembly sells separately from the Hellcrate engine kit, the kit adding a powertrain control module, power distribution center, engine wiring harness, chassis harness, accelerator pedal, ground jumper, oxygen sensors, charge air temperature sensors, and fuel pump control module. The PCM comes programmed with the production-car engine's 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. An optional front-end accessory drive kit contributes peripherals like alternator, power steering pump, belts, and pulleys. Don't bother trying to lash up a sleeper 1997 Chrysler Sebring, though; Mopar tuned the Hellcrate for pre-1976 vehicles and manual transmissions. The engine assembly retails for an MSRP of $19,530, and the kit wants a further $2,195. Mopar didn't announce pricing for the accessory drive kit. The engine and kit come with a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty when bought together. The Mopar Hemi Crate website will be happy to take your orders as of now. For help envisioning the possibilities, stop by Fiat Chrysler's 15,345-square-foot SEMA booth to check out the Limelight Green, Hellcrate-powered 1970 Plymouth Superbird clone worked up by Mark Worman of Velocity's " Graveyard Carz." While you're there you might as well peep Worman's encore, a 1968 Plymouth GTX stuffed with Mopar's 392 Crate HEMI in place of the original 440 big block, and the 1937 Dodge pickup that swallowed a Mopar 345 Crate HEMI. Mopar's come a long way from its original product: antifreeze products. Tomorrow it'll be Jeep's turn to ring the SEMA bells, once the noise dies down from the Mopar-jacked Wrangler Switchback, CJ66 and Jeep Shortcut. You can watch the brand's presentation online at 7:26 p.m. ET/4:26 p.m. PT. Until then, we're going to work the angles on a Hellcrate-powered Plymouth Volare. The sedan, naturally. Because we're practical. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

General Lee Dodge Charger replica jumps Dukes of Hazzard-style in Downtown Detroit

Sun, Feb 26 2017

Ouch. That was our first reaction after we saw the video up above, in which stunt driver Raymond Kohn goes full-on Bo and Luke Duke in a specially prepared Dodge Charger right in the middle of Downtown Detroit. The jump looks good – and, courtesy of the whistling-Dixie horn of the Charger, sounds good, too – until you see the landing. Like we said, ouch. The ramp stood just five feet tall, but since the bright orange '69 Charger was traveling around 55 miles per hour when it launched, the car soared 25 feet in the air over a distance of 134 feet. That's pretty impressive. Apparently, the car was modified to take the brunt of the landing forces at impact to help keep Kohn safe (relatively speaking, of course). The stunt was a promotion for the 65th annual Autorama Show, which is taking place this weekend at the Cobo Center in Detroit. Scroll down to watch a video interview with Kohn that was shot right after the stunt, and stick around till the end to see the automotive carnage close up. This content is hosted by a third party.

Dodge Challenger Shakedown: '71 body, new guts

Tue, Nov 1 2016

While Jeep has created a number of vintage-bodied custom vehicles with modern components, this year's SEMA show plays host to Dodge's take on the idea. The Shakedown concept began life as a 1971 Challenger and ditched almost everything in it, including the engine and chassis. What's left is a modern car with a retro look. The chassis was a particularly complicated part of the job, since the Challenger was originally a unibody car. However, Dodge chose to separate the Challenger's iconic body from its structural parts, and moved it onto a custom, one-off chassis from which the body can be removed as needed. The chassis also carries lowered suspension, Challenger Hellcat brakes, and a 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8 connected to a six-speed manual transmission from the Viper. Dodge also installed the engine using the new Hemi engine swap kit from Mopar. With the shaker cold-air intake and custom exhaust, the Shakedown's powerplant makes 485 horsepower. View 13 Photos The body itself received plenty of tweaking as well. Dodge shaved off the drip rails, door handles, and turn signals for a cleaner look, and also fitted the grille, headlights, and taillights from a 2017 Challenger. The whole thing is finished in matte black paint with a "vibrating" stripe offset on the left side. The Shakedown also gets 20-inch Slingshot rear wheels and a pair of custom 19-inch versions for the front. On each fender is a bright red "392" decal that uses the same font as the labels on classic Mopars 360 cubic-inch V8s. Inside, the Shakedown gets the same radical upgrade as the chassis. Two Viper seats accompany a Viper steering wheel, and the rear seats are gone altogether. The Viper gearbox is shifted with a Challenger Hellcat gear knob, and carbon-fiber accents and leather adorn the wheel, door panels, instrument panel and center console.
