1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE - True JS29 California Car
Up for auction is a rare factory 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE, B5 Blue/White Vinyl Top with Blue Interior, with only 44,000 documented original miles. This is a true “JS29” RT/SE car, not a replica or clone. Have Title, Fender Tag, maintenance documentation, etc. This car was manufactured in the Los Angeles, CA plant but was also built for CA emissions, making this a California car. The car is now located in Denver, CO. This car is 100% Rust-Free - GUARANTEED!!! The only filler you’ll find on this car was used for leveling of the panels. The car has all of its original body panels, except for the trunk which was professionally replaced. Even the lower quarter panels are still original, all frame rails, engine compartment, floor boards, battery tray, etc are 100% rust free…please see pictures on Photobucket. This is an original “N” code RT/SE Challenger, which means it came with a 383 originally. However, that engine was replaced with a 1970 date correct (F)440 engine very early on in life (still has original 727 transmission.) Other than the engine, the car retains most of all it’s original equipment. The History of the Challenger: Built in LA for California in late 1969, where it spent little time on the road. The 440 engine was swapped into the car sometime in California. I know this because I still have the Colorado Vehicle Inspection Report from 1988 (see photobucket), listing the 440 as the engine and the car only having 21,039 miles…that’s an average of just over 1,000 miles per year! Since then I have maintenance records documenting the vehicles miles to present day. The car actually has only had two sets of tires installed on it, the second set is still on the car. They were installed in 1991 when the car only had 37,201 miles…which means the current tires only have 7,000 miles on them. The car was taken off the road and stored inside in 1993, please see the picture of the Colorado registration tag for the year 1994 that never made it on the vehicle’s license plate. The car was placed on jack stands for the past 20 years until it was recently repainted its original color (B5 Blue) had a new vinyl top installed, gone through and reassembled. The car retains all of its original interior! What makes this car Unique/Rare: - The obvious, it’s a rare RT/SE with only 44,000 documented miles. - It’s an original California car. - The car actually has a factory mis-stamp body/frame. All of the numbers on the body are exactly 1,000 digits off. Lets me explain, the VIN # is JS29N0E112194, this VIN number is also found on the Title, Fender Tag, Transmission, Drivers Door sticker, etc. However, all stamps on the body show the last 6 digits of the VIN# to be “111194”, the cowl under the windshield, the radiator support stamp, the trunk, etc. All date codes match throughout the entire car. So the factory should have stamped the body with the 3rd of the 6 digits being a (2), instead they mistakenly stamped it with a (1). While this doesn’t take away from the value of the car, some people consider these cars to be even more valuable since there are only a handful of cars that were factory mis-stamped. Please see all pics of the vehicles body stamps on Photobucket. - This car is also a factory B5 Blue car with the matching Blue interior. Great color combo…all the replicas or clones are always done in black or white interior. - This is a factory A/C car, with all A/C equipment still on the vehicle. - Original Factory 8-track (now has aftermarket 8-track) - Rim-Blow Steering Wheel - All Original Interior (including factory Vinyl Seats with Cloth Inserts) - 3 Speaker Dash - Factory front disc brakes/sway bar - 8 3/4 Rear End w/ 3.55 gears - Original Spare Tire still in trunk, along with jack - Date Correct Tinted Glass - I think this car has every piece of Chrome or Stainless trim that was available in 1970, including rocker panel moldings. The Good: The doors, trunk, etc. all close great and sound extremely solid. All Gauges, lights, inside and outside the vehicle work. The drives extremely well and floats down the road, no rattles, shaking, vibrations, rides just like new. Goes straight down the road, can take your hands off the wheel and the car will drive in a perfectly straight line without with the steering wheel even turning…amazing for a car that’s 44 years old!!!!! Car had a factory undercoating applied, and all of it is still adhered to the bottom of the vehicle. All the lines on the car are straight, it’s never been wrecked. There is probably little more I can say that hasn’t been already, or that you can’t see for yourself in the pictures here on Ebay, or the 160 pictures on Photobucket. There are also numerous videos loaded of the car being driven around my neighborhood, running, walk-arounds, videos of the electronics working, etc. This car is in amazing shape, from bumper to bumper! - New Carpet - New Paint - New Vinyl Roof - All Polished Stainless - New Plugs/Wires - New Electronic Ignition - New Carb Rebuild - All New Weatherstripping - New Fluids/Filters - Etc. Email me for the link to the photos on Photobucket, Ebay will no longer allow you to post links in your descriptions. The Bad: (I’m being really picky here…) - Ummm…I guess the door panels have some scratches in them, so those could be replaced if you really wanted to be picky - There appears to be a very minor transmission leak (putting some stop-leak in would likely fix it) - Clock in the dash doesn’t work - Has an electric fuel pump (some people really like these, I don’t personally) - The roof rail weatherstripping was in good condition, but I wanted to replace it to match the rest of the car. It’s already been purchased and comes with the vehicle. - Missing ashtray in center console

I can assist with loading and making the vehicle accessible, but will not bare cost of freight or arranging of delivery. I will not ship outside of the US. A Deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of auction closing to my PayPal account. Remainder of payment will be made in cash, cashiers check, or money order.

Questions/Viewing Vehicle Please contact me via email if you have any additional questions regarding the car, need more pictures, pictures of specific items, or would like to setup a time to view the vehicle. I am located in Denver, CO and will make myself available to anyone wanting to come by and view the car in-person before securing.

I feel that this is a very fair price for a car of this originality, low-mileage and condition. I actually anticipate the auction superseding that amount. The last 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE 440 I saw being sold on Ebay had an asking price of $82,000. That car didn’t sell by the time of the auction end, but since it was not relisted I feel that the seller may have accepted a price slightly lower than his asking price.

HAS ALL 160 PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THIS CAR.
There is a reason why I have 100% feedback. I want to be as upfront with you as possible with this car, so please ask all questions and view all pictures. Thank you very much and Happy Bidding!! |

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.
2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.
Highway To Hellcat: Dallas to Vegas with 2,000 HP
Thu, Jan 15 2015Fort Davis, TX. Early November. Late Sunday afternoon. The 1,200 residents of this small town are using their day of rest to quietly enjoy the breeze rolling off the hills. There's an older couple walking down the street, holding hands. A young lady working at a general store, where milkshakes and antacids are purchased at the same counter. It's a peaceful, quaint scene, right down to the tumbleweed rolling across the street and the rickety wooden porches outside the old storefronts. I hit the throttle of the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat while turning left onto the road leading toward the town square, sending the sedan's rear end swinging to the right with a few puffs of rubbery smoke. I coast down to the 25-mile-per-hour speed limit and spot the line of Challengers, Chargers, and Vipers in my rear-view mirror, the drivers all mimicking my quick jolt of enthusiasm before pulling up the reigns on their V8s and V10s and idling into Fort Davis. Our posse would roll some 5,000 horsepower of pure American muscle into that small Texas town that day. It was only the first stop on an epic journey that would take us from Dallas to Las Vegas, on a winding route down toward El Paso, up through New Mexico, Arizona, and finally north into Nevada, ending at the ritzy Palazzo casino and hotel on the Vegas strip. It was an opportunity to see parts of America I never knew existed, and a chance to bond with some American cars that until recently, I sort of failed to understand. And most importantly it was an opportunity to drive really, really hard. Charging Through Texas Unless you've driven across it, it's hard to understand the massive space that is Texas. In places, scanning 360 degrees of horizon reveals absolutely nothing. Nothing. On its own, driving from Dallas to El Paso covers some 630 miles. Veer south to Fort Davis and you'll add another 70 onto that, not including the 75-mile Davis Mountain Scenic Loop where I found bliss behind the wheel of this insanely powerful sedan. I always expected to like the Charger Hellcat – comfortable seating for four (five in a pinch), equipped with the latest tech, wrapped in a stylish yet muscular body, like a quarterback in a tux. And it moves. The supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 pumps out 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, which makes for one quick sedan, especially considering its heft.
