Very rare 1980 Dodge Challenger. One owner car with only 49,346 miles! The original owner (who's in her late 80's now) just used this little two door, as grocery getter. It's a fine example of a very low mileage, rust free, California car! Starts right up, runs good, and goes straight as a arrow. The Power 4 wheel Disc brakes stop great, with no pulling. Power Steering doesn't leak or make noise. It's a very simple, economical driver, with a 4 cylinder Mitsubishi engine. Everything works, except the Cruise Control. Probably something simple, but I haven't had time to mess with. I took lots of pictures, and will try to answer all your questions. The hot California sunshine has caused a few cracks to the interior, and blemishes to exterior, here and there. All-in-all, it's pretty nice. Front seats are great, with no holes, tears and feel flexible. Rear seat bottoms (plaid part) do have a few holes, and feel a little brittle. Some of the decorative buckles on the seats are missing. Carpet and headliner are excellent. All glass is great. Windows roll up-and-down with ease. The factory black paint around window trim is starting to deteriorate. The drivers side mirror has a couple of pieces of plastic missing. Looks to be the original spare tire, complete with jack. Trunk is mint! Body is straight, and does not appear to have any repairs. She did have it repainted back in the late 90's, only because the sunshine had faded and baked off some of the paint. She did not want to have the emblems put back on, so I only have one of the original Challenger scripts that were on the fenders and trunk lid. ( I just placed it there for the photo). Has current registration and tags. Have the clear California Title. I work full time, so will only be checking emails in the evening, Pacific Time. There are a couple of You-tube video's playing the 70-80's Dodge commercials of these cars. Found more info on the engine and specs in the eBay parts and accessories literature. Seems that this car was way ahead of it's time when built. Has a Hemi head 4 cylinder that does not use a smog pump! As a car enthusiast, and owner of various 60-70's Mopars over the years, I have tried to describe this car to the best of my knowledge. Car is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Also, check out the only other one that I could find. It's at Hawaii Craigslist!

Chrysler almost smothered the Hellcat before it lived
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.

Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact
Fri, 08 Feb 2013For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
