1970 Dodge Challenger R/t Convertible on 2040-cars
New Baltimore, Michigan, United States
|
Up for auction is one of the most nicely restored 1970 Dodge
Challenger R/T convertibles in existence. It
was restored professionally to factory specs.
The way you see it is the way it rolled off the assembly line back in
January 1970. It has its numbers
matching 383 engine which was restored to factory specs and ran on a dyno
before installed. The transmission was completely
torn down, detailed and completely rebuilt to factory specs. The 8 3/4 rear end was also torn down and
rebuilt. The housing was chemically
dipped to remove all of the junk in the housing. The center section was cleaned, detailed and completely
rebuilt with new clutches and bearings. The interior has been completely restored. The seat frames were media blasted and
painted. Then new seat foams and covers
were installed. The gauge cluster was completely
restored by Auto Instruments. The door
and rear interior panels were recovered by Just Dashes as well as the dash
pad. The heater control panel is new so
it has the correct chrome detail vs. the silver paint pen most use. The radio is a new reproduction that looks
original on the outside (also with the correct chrome detail) but is new on the
inside with IPOD and blue tooth capabilities.
All of the seat belts are new as well as the correct consol. The dash frame and steering column were
painted with NOS correct suede paint. All of the convertible top components are new including:
power top pump, both cylinders, and all of the plastic lines. Top was professionally installed and looks
great. The frame was media blasted and
repainted the correct shade of satin black.
Correct new satin chrome latched and receivers were installed. The front suspension was completely detailed using cosmoline
on the upper and lower control arms. All
front suspension parts were detailed and coated with RPM (rust preventative
magic sold by ECS Automotive). The exhaust was purchased from Accurate Exhaust. It is one step louder than factory and has a
perfect tone for a convertible. The engine compartment is completely detailed with the
correct radiator restored by Ray’s Radiator and a date coded carbureted restored
by Scott Smith (Harms Auto). I can write a book on this car. To sum it up everything on this car was
touched CORRECTLY. What needed to be
plated was plated correctly, not sprayed with metal color aerosol paint cans. We only use the best vendors on our restorations. This car was not built with the intensions of
selling it. This is an investment piece
that just happens to be but on the market for personal reasons. This is not a car that has been put back
together with old repainted cleaned up parts.
Everything on this car was restored to new condition or replaced with
new quality reproduction parts. We only restore Mopar’s.
It is what we specialize in and all we do. This is a gorgeous car and we guarantee you
will be happy with it. You can see 271
pictures of this Challenger on our site afterhoursrestorations.com. We are only interested in positive transactions. If for any reason you are not happy with this
car at time of pick up the sale will be void and all funds will be returned no
questions asked. Feel free to have the car inspected. The car is on a platform hoist so it can be
inspected front to back, inside and out. Seller reserves the right to end auction early because car is for sale locally. Please ask questions. 271 pictures of this Challenger can be seen on our web site www.afterhoursrestorations.com.

2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.

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.
