Rare California Emissions matching numbers, original build sheet in hand, 1974 Dodge Challenger Muscle Car.

This is a pretty much unmolested car free from body panel replacements and even the fender bolts have never been loosened. This has the original 318 V8 motor with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and carburetor. It has a set of ceramic-coated headers, and HEI ignition. It is an original AC car with power brakes, power steering, and floor shift with console. It has tinted windows, new carpet, Alpine CD, custom pin striping, all new front suspension, and show chrome plated original bumpers.

This car was purchased from the original owner who bought this from Kearny Mesa Dodge in 1974. They drove it for years before replacing it, and then parking it in the garage where it sat for years.  The car's motor was later rebuilt their adult child, and then I purchased it. The car was in great original condition but needed TLC to make it the daily drive it is now.  Interior is 2 months old and never sat on.  Engine and transmission was removed, detailed, and reinstalled.  Front suspension inludes all new ball joints, bushings, shocks, and alignment. This is an exceptionally rust free car visible underneath. All the body panels are original rust free sunny Southern California condition.

The car was originally light blue before recently painted House of Kolor Burple. Interior was blue changed to black. A newly installed big tube Magna Flow exhaust makes this car sound and run great. 19" Boss wheels have been installed but I have the original sport wheels that are included in this sale. Turn key and cruise away. This car will not depreciate like other cars, this car will continue to appreciate in value.  We need the room, and all bikes and cars will be sold.

I have pictures of the car in its original color for serious buyers.  Copy of original build sheet is pictured.

No need for restoration, this car is in great running original condition and ready to drive. I may consider partial trade or trade.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

2003-04 Dodge Viper recalled for sudden airbag deployment

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

As if driving the old Dodge Viper (not the fancy new SRT model) isn't intimidating enough, imagine trying to wrangle that V10 beast and then suddenly having the airbags deploy. Yikes. That's apparently what could happen to some 3,660 Viper models from the 2003 and 2004 model years, and as such, Chrysler has issued a recall.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the car's airbag control module may fail, causing the bags or seatbelt pre-tensioners to deploy without warning while the vehicle is in operation. That's a dangerous scenario in any car, let alone one offering insane horsepower a near-total paucity of safety nannies should things get squirrely.
Owners will be notified this month about the recall, though a remedy is not expected to be available until later this year. Scroll down for the full NHTSA statement.
