Front passenger seat correct but different material. Motor locked due to main bearing failure, probably due to some idiot forgetting the oil."

1978 Dodge Magnum GT, only 681 GT cars were produced in 1978.  This body style car was briefly used for NASCAR.  The body of this car is in excellent overall condition.  The only rust is some very small bubbles on lower right quarter panel, see pictures.  All floors are clean and have no rot.  This car has T-tops, hideaway headlights, a 400 motor, automatic transmission, and only 57,393 miles.  Appears to be original mileage judging by seats and brake petal.  Also, doors, hood, and trunk all open and close like new.  I purchased this car at an auction.  The motor appears to be rebuilt and there are lots of new parts under the hood.  However, the motor is locked due to main bearing failure.  Some idiot may have forgot to put oil in after the oil change.  Lower end of motor should be rebuildable.  I do have a 1978 440 out of a motor home with low mileage that can be purchased separately for $600.  I don't know the history of this car, just bought it to put on Ebay so some Dodge lover can put it back on the road.  The front passenger seat is correct but has different material than the rest of the seats, otherwise interior looks good.  I have broken down the VIN and fender tags.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers

Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...

Dodge Challenger ADR prototypes spied with massive rubber

Mon, Oct 3 2016

In an effort to give the Dodge Challenger one last hurrah before making the switch to the Giorgio platform in 2018, Automotive News reports that the automaker will come out with the Challenger ADR. The ADR, which stands for American Drag Racer, is expected to be a wide-body, Hellcat-powered variant that is closely based off of the current model. The report seems to have merit, as photographers have captured Challenger prototypes testing with massive tires. The prototypes look extremely similar to the current Challenger SRT Hellcat with the same hood scoop, front fascia design, rear spoiler construction, and rear end. The white and purple vehicles, though, are wearing extremely wide tires. The extra-wide rubber on the prototypes appear to have a similar tread design as the ones found on the Dodge Viper ACR, which features the grippy Kumho Ecsta V720. While the ACR wears 295 mm tires at the front, the car's rear tires are massive at 355 mm. The tires found on the prototype don't appear to be as large as the ones found on the ACR, but are expected to be larger than the current Challenger SRT Hellcat's, which are Pirelli P Zero Neros measuring 275 mm at all four corners. The Challenger ADR, with its wider, stickier tires is expected to cater to drivers that are looking to put all of the supercharged 6.2-liter V8's power to the ground. The rear-wheel-drive ADR is expected to come with a wide-body kit, which is missing from the prototypes. The Hellcat-powered, wide-body Challenger ADR is expected to make an appearance later in 2017, with an all-wheel-drive model (sans Hellcat engine) known as the GT AWD following closely thereafter.
