1971 Dodge Challenger on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:99999
Location:

Fairmount, Georgia, United States

Fairmount, Georgia, United States

 I am putting my 71 Dodge Challenger up for auction due to a recent lower back injury that has greatly limited my range of motion so I am not able to progress forward with my plans I had for this car. Anyone wanting to come and look this Challenger over prior to placing a bid is more than welcome to come see it. It is located on highway 53 between Fairmount and Calhoun Georgia. Please contact me phone numbers so I can arrange for someone to meet you and how you the car.
NOTE: I purchased this Challenger in the state of Alabama which did not issue titles for cars until 1973 (per the DMV) so I am selling this Challenger with a Bill OF SALE ONLY. In the past when I lived in a state needing a paper title for an older vehicle I used International Title Services out of Las Vegas,NV to obtain a title. There are other companies which can help you obtain a paper title but I cannot speak for their services. ITS did a good job for me when I used them and got me a title I used when I lived in North Carolina.
I have listed in the know condition of the vehicle what I do know about this Challenger. It is not a numbers matching car. The VIN decodes to a vehicle from the factory with a 383 in it but know has a 440 in it, casting date in 1969 and installed in a 1970 model vehicle per the numbers on the machined pad on the block above the oil pan.
I purchased this Challenger which has a set of Hurst Lightning Rod shifters in it which limits the installation of the normal console top plate, P-R-N-D-L2-L1 lighted shift indicator and woodgrain stick on applique (decal). I planned on changing it back to a slap stick shifter or 4 speed since it was setup at one time with a 4 speed but I am auctioning it off as is since I can't do the bending necessary to do the work associated with changing the shifter setup. The swing pedal assembly setup for a manual transmission is still in the car minus the clutch pedal. The smaller sized brake pedal is still in the vehicle and the hole for the 4 speed shifter has been covered over with sheet metal under the carpet on the drive shaft tunnel. The car has a brand new Edelbrock model 1411, 750 CFM carburetor on it and Edelbrock Torquer manifold.
I think whomever purchases this car is getting a solid car that they can work with and turn into an excellent show piece with a bit of work. Car has solid front and rear floor pans, trunk floor, quarter panels, doors, fenders, hood etc etc.
I have decoded the casting numbers and stampings (below) that I have located on the 440 engine block
  • Casting Numbers on Block 2536430 (standard bore-4.320,standard stroke-3.750)
  • Shown as casted on Dayshift
  • Casting Date- November 7,1969
  • Factory stencil stamp on machined pad above oil pan on passenger side 0B248780
  • I.D. stenciling on machined pad near distributor F-440, H.P., 11-28

HEADS:

  • 2843906-9 (Mopar part# 2843904)
  • Casting indicating part was cast on Dayshift
  • Other unknown number located on head on drivers side - #23

Other engine parts information I found on a handwritten piece of paper in the documentation I received with this car.

Crankshaft - 3512036

Rods - 3462426

When I initially saw this car the previous owner was doing a bearing inspection on it and I ask him to write down any part numbers he could locate while doing the bearing inspection/change out so I did personally located the engine numbers but did not personally look at the crank and rods but am listing, above, what I found in the cars documentation.  

SPECIAL NOTE: I have a complete 6 pack setup that will bolt right up to this engine plus matches the casting date of the engine within a day of it's casting (engine date-11-7-69, 6 pack cast iron manifold casting date 11-6-1969 (intake #2946276)

ADDITIONAL PHOTOS available upon written request. Just let me know what view of the Challenger you would like to have.

This Challenger is For Sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction if the car sells locally.

I am receptive to discussing offers but at the price I have this Challenger listed at I am losing almost $5,000.00 so please don't expect me to give this car to you.

Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers. Mopar Enhances FCA Owner Apps - Redesigned FCA Owner apps offer a wide range of VIN-specific information - Owners can access maintenance schedules, service history, recall notices and more - "Augmented reality" function, beginning with 2015 models, allows owners to use camera feature on mobile devices to scan and identify instrument panel icons - Industry-first Accident Assistant feature helps owners easily document important accident information and quickly locate a certified repair facility - Individual brand versions of the app support all FCA brand vehicles - FCA Owner apps are free to download for both iOS and Android mobile devices May 29, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar brand has redesigned and enhanced its suite of FCA Owner apps, putting more resources than ever at owners' fingertips with easier access to vehicle and lifestyle information.

Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
