See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Galen Govier inspection w/full report, freshly restored, mint condition, ORIGINAL ENGINE, heavily optioned."

  This is not only one of the very rare (1 of 127) 1970 Challenger R/T convertibles built with a 440 Magnum & 727 auto.,  it has the very desirable "Q" on the original fender tag which makes it a  very rare "PUBLIC RELATIONS CAR" & highly collectible . There were only about 5 of these built!


  Public relations cars were very limited production & were built to showcase a new model.  Most came in very loud colors & nearly every option available. Chrysler used them for various forms of promotion like......major auto shows,  displays in an high-traffic area,  T.V. commercials,  T.V. shows,  posters,  given to v.i.p.'s,   magazine road tests etc.. After they were used by Chrysler, they were usually sold through a "Chrysler-dealer-only sale". 

  Galen Govier has done a full inspection to verify this cars authenticity (full report is included with the car). It does have it's original engine,  original fender tags, original vin tag, original body numbers, original door vin decal & retains all its correct options. 

  This "rotisserie" restoration was just completed & the car has less than 20 miles since done. No options were deleted or added- it  was restored to it's original P.R. trim....440 Magnum, 727 torqueflite auto., 3.55 sure-grip rear end, FE5 red paint, white conv. top, white side stripe, hood pins, dual painted ext. mirrors, luggage rack, chrome exh. tips, SE ext. trim, 14" road wheels, white letter poly glass tires, air conditioning, pwr. top, pwr. steering, pwr. disc brakes, pwr. windows, cruise control, rim-blow steering wheel,  AM/FM, rally gauges w/tach, woodgrain console & bucket seats, 6-way drivers seat, deluxe seat belts, delayed headlights,  light package & I'm probably forgetting something. Everything works except the air has not been charged yet.

  I located the gentleman that owned this car for about 5 years in the late 70's & as it turns out, he lives about 50 miles from me.  He (Ted) came by for a visit after I contacted him & was good enough to bring an 8 x 10 color copy of a photo of this car in the 1976 Omaha autorama car show to add to the folder!   I also have an original carbon copy of a letter he wrote to Chrysler customer service on March 5th 1977 asking about the car's rarity & collectability and,  I also have a copy of the letter they wrote him 3 weeks later!!  It basically states they can't comment on the value etc. & gives basic info on challenger convertables. He knew this was a very special & rare car even when it was only 7 years old!! I think his letter just got to the wrong desk or he would have found out the original "public relations" use. Another person in Omaha had the car before he got it & that person got it from a doctor's wife in Des Moines.  Ted sold it in about 1980 to a person in Arizona where it sat in a garage until about 7-8 years ago, then to Kansas where the restoration was started a couple years ago. The pictures don't do it justice- it is VERY nice!! 

  I'm able to provide personal, prompt, enclosed delivery and/or willing to arrange transport. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks- Paul 402-202-2263

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.

Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.
