Factory original 1973 Dodge Challenger factory 318 with a 3 speed stick. Came from the factory with this drive train. It has always been in So. California since new. It has been sitting in storage for the past 13 years. Several months ago I pulled it out and began to get it back on the road. I replace the gas tank and sending unit, front water pump housing, and pump. All the hoses and belts, Restored the heater box and new core, Installed a new Carb and air cleaner and new master cylinder. It is back on the road and running and driving great. I have been using it as a go around town driver and it is very reliable. The motor has been updated to have a 4 barrel carb and vintage aluminum intake. The cam has been changed at some point in its life along with the timing chain and head rebuild. Runs really nice.

The car original came in the colors of silver with blue interior. That is a very unusual color combo but wasn't liked by the previous owner. It was converted over to the color you see in the pictures. It has very little options except an 8 3/4 rear-end and disk brakes. It has no power options except whats in your arms. all the brake have been checked and are in good working order. All the lights are in good working order. Everything works except the reverse light. The speedo works great but starts at 20mph for some reason. the interior in good shape. The seats are clean with no rips and still soft. The covers are not original material but have the original style look. The carpet has been replaced and is good shape. The rear top of the seat is probably getting a little hard from sitting in the sun but not bad. The plastic door panels are very clean original but will need the window weather strip to be changed. the interior dash has had a professional dash cap installed and looks real nice. Not much will need to be done to the interior.

The paint is older and faded out. It is the third paint job. the first being silver, then red and then the blue you see on the car. the car is straight with not much bondo that can be seen. I do know the front driver fender has had work done to it and will need some attention when the car is repainted. Its not a disaster but needs some love. the rest of the panels are nice and straight with no visual work being done to them. The trunk is solid with some surface rust but no rot. The rust I can see coming thru is both lower quarters just in front of the tires on both sides. I can only see bubbling thru the paint. The outside chrome will need to be done to be nice. It is the original to the car and is fading. The other trim is nice and original with standard scratches and dings but very usable.

the motor and trans are the numbers match to the car if anyone is interested in that. Not even sure if it has been out of the car since new. doesn't smoke or anything like that. It's a real good driver that needs a little cosmetics but over all a great car that can have a 4spd installed real easy. The exhaust system is fresh with Dynomax mufflers. sounds good. I just bought another challenger and this one needs to go at this time. Call Scott for any questions 760-559-5103

Dodge Viper might not live past 2017

Wed, Oct 14 2015

The Dodge Viper might be running out of venom because the muscle-bound sports car could be on the road to being cancelled in just a few years. According to Allpar, the proposed deal between the United Auto Workers and FCA US would close the Connor Avenue Assembly plant, which produces the Viper, in 2017. The proposed union contract doesn't give a reason for closing the factory, but the decision is understandable if frustrating. The plant was idled twice last year to reduce production of the Viper to match flagging demand. A $15,000 price cut for the coupe eventually allowed for a sales surge, but that appetite hasn't continued in 2015. From January through September of this year, the company has only moved 503 of the sports cars, down eight percent. To further spur demand, Dodge has employed a few other tactics like the 1 of 1 program for buyers to personalize their Vipers, and the introduction of the brutally track-focused ACR. In a world where high-end sports cars are continuing to get friendlier for both their drivers and the environment, the Viper remains a holdout with a big, naturally aspirated V10. Even with the addition of some electronic aids on the latest Vipers, the snake still demands respect from those behind the wheel. Respect is fine, but sales are what matter to FCA – and the harsh reality is that a lack thereof might force the Viper into retirement, whether we like it or not.

Watch a Dodge Viper driver show off his V10 all the way into a wall

Mon, Apr 11 2016

Has there ever been a show-off video that doesn't end terribly? This video clip captured with a cellphone shows the driver of a neon green Viper GTS giving a fellow motorist a couple throttle blips to signify his intent – which seems to be to crash the Viper into a concrete wall as quickly as possible. It's not pretty. The mean machine seems to be a second-generation Viper GTS in Stryker Green. To our knowledge, no photos have surfaced of the aftermath, so we wish both the driver and their most-likely bruised ego a speedy recovery. Who knows, maybe the Viper is also salvageable.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
