1974 Dodge Challenger 440 on 2040-cars
Clairton, Pennsylvania, United States
This is an amazing vehicle that you will have to see to believe! This awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge
Challenger. Nearly every nut and bolt is new- the car just went through a complete professional restoration. All rotted metal was cut out and
replaced, no bondo was used in the completely professional restoration. The car was just repainted in this dazzling Plum Crazy metallic paint, with black racing stripes down both sides
to really give it a really mean street racer look. New fiberglass hood with hood scoop,
new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, new
windshield.
Car was originally a 318 but was replaced with a
rebuilt 440 that has under 10,000 miles. Everything is else is new and has less
than 600 miles on it. Including a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift
kit and b&m quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a
rebuilt rear. New headers with a 3" flowmaster exhaust.
Rebuilt carb. New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling
fan. Chrome valve covers, alternator, pullies. Msd Ignition and
Distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder. New
front and rear sway bars. Also, both center headlights were removed and
replaced with a chromed out cold ram air system with dual air filters and you
really feel it when you step on the gas.
The interior is also completly redone. New
carpet, seat covers front and rear, grant steering wheel, headliner, custom
floor mats and a new dash pad. Blue led lighting added under seats and
dash. And blue led streetglow around the underneath side of car that
really lights up the road.
NOW THE NEGATIVES, and there aren't many.. -There is a
small chip in the paint on the MOLDING thats attached to the fender, not the
fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and you really dont even notice it,
can easily be fixed. All other paint is flawless and just about show
quality, no dents, no scratches. - Also, although the vinyl top is new it has
a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the drivers side seam is a tiny
wavy. -Fuel gauge is inoperative -Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected -Seat belts not installed
Other than these small thing the car is just about perfect, it
runs and shifts perfectly, and its got plenty of power. The reserve is
set very reasonably, i have over 40k into car, my loss is your gain. Good
luck On Nov-06-13 at 15:27:20 PST, seller added the following information:

Now a few negatives, and there aren't many. I believe in full disclosure and honesty. I do not want there to be any surprises. I am glad to point out any negatives because there are very few. They are not a big deal when considering how much hard earned cash has been recently put into this beauty! There is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the fender, not on the fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and unless it is pointed out, you probably will not even notice it at first look. All of the other paint is flawless and just about Show Quality: no dents, no scratches. The vinyl top is new. However, it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the driver’s side seam is slightly wavy. Fuel gauge is inoperative. Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected. Seat belts not installed. Other than these small items, the car is just about perfect. This monster runs and shifts perfectly, and it has plenty of power. The reserve
is set very reasonably. ------------------------> Over $40,000 has been spent on the restoration items detailed above! <------------------------ I am in a position where I need to sell this car. My loss is your gain. Good luck with your bidding- someone is about to get a steal on this amazing vehicle! |

Dodge Charger Pursuit takes Tesla interior approach
Fri, Sep 11 2015A police car's computer is just as integral to its duties as a set of lights and sirens. The popular approach for these systems is to grab something like a Panasonic Toughbook laptop, add a big, bulky tray to hold it, and use this inelegant setup for running plates and doing all the other things a cop needs to do while on the road. The downside, besides simple aesthetics, is that this arrangement robs the officer's shotgun-riding partner from legroom. Dodge, though, has come up with a far more elegant and functional solution. Taking a page out of Tesla and Volvo's book, Dodge has replaced the five-inch UConnect display and laptop mount in the Charger Pursuit police car with an enormous 12.1-inch, portrait-format touchscreen display. Called, UConnect 12.1, the new system doesn't do away with the old fashioned computer outright. Instead it moves the bulky unit to the trunk, where it can connect to the display via an ethernet cable. This is good for multiple reasons. First, there are no pricey installation or upfitting charges, like there are for most laptop carriages. Secondly, the plug-and-play nature of the new UConnect system won't require the department to buy new laptops. And third, there's no need to retrain officers, since the only thing that's really changing is the input. While the Charger Pursuit will continue to offer redundant audio and HVAC controls, the 12.1-inch display can, at the press of a "button" split to display Fiat Chrysler's familiar 8.4-inch display. Make one more tap on the screen, and the police-issue laptop can be managed through the full touchscreen. The touchscreen will also display a menu bar at the top of the page, which can easily be edited by officers. All it takes is a simple drag and drop from the application menu to the top of the display. According to Dodge, the touchscreen will even play nice when its operator is wearing gloves. "As America's high-performance police vehicle, Dodge Charger Pursuit is going big for 2016, offering a massive, Uconnect touchscreen system that streamlines a law enforcement officer's computer system with our easy-to-use Uconnect system – on an all-new laptop-sized 12.1-inch touchscreen display," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge and SRT's president and CEO.
Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser
Sun, Feb 12 2017A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.

Dodge Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?
Tue, 16 Sep 2014The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.
