This auction is for my 1970 Dodge Challenger. It is not a numbers matching vehicle. It was a real R/T SE 383 Rallye Red 4 speed car but was missing the drive train and most of the floor due to rust and had been hit in the rear. I used 2 parts cars along with this one to build what you see here. It now has a 440 six pack with 727 torque flyte transmission with 3.23 sure grip rear end. The engine is a 1975 vintage 440 that was built by Wheeler Racing Engines in Blaine Minn. It is built to stock specs and runs well on pump premium gas. It produced 392 HP @4600 RPM and 485 ft lbs of torque at 3800 RPM on the dyno. The 727 was built using the Hemi sprag and planetary gear along with a shift kit and 3400 rpm stall converter. It was finished in 1999 and was driven to the Mopar Nationals where it made two high 13 second passes down the 1320 at around 100mph. It has not been raced since then. It has been a show pooch and driven about 14,000 miles since being restified and has received many 1st & 2nd place awards over the years and still shows well. It received "Best Muscle Car" award at it's only outing in 2013. Many NOS & new re production parts and upgrades went into this restification such as all Polyurethane suspension bushings, 1" front sway bar and High performance rear leaf springs and factory rear sway bar. It was upgraded to front disc brakes from a 74 Challenger with all new brake lines, cylinders and hoses. The fuel lines were upgraded to 3/8 & 1/4" return lines along with fuel sender and new tank. New vinyl roof, new leather seat upholstery, carpeting from Legendary and Year one suppliers. Dash pad was rebuilt by Just Dashes. No one was re producing the SE headliner so I opted for the bowed headliner without the overhead console. There are a couple other SE factory parts that did not make it back on this car. The rear aluminum panel was not salvageable and I opted for the black paint in place of the argent silver painted panel. and the grille and headlight bezels were powder coated in satin black as well. Also eliminated was the bright trim under the front bumper. All of the emblems and stainless are either new or restored. The radiator was rebuilt by GlenRay radiators using the best core available. The engine, alternator, water pump and power steering pump pulleys were replaced with March Pulleys and serpentine belt. Other upgrades were to the radio that was replaced by a Sony CD player unit and has the highly desired 3 speaker dash that not many of these cars had back in the day. Also a rear mounted power antenna was installed. The pistol grip gunslinger shifter and Mr Norm dealership sticker was another personal addition. This car is not an original Mr Norm car. I am sure I missed a few items but wanted any potential buyers to not be miss lead.
I have enjoyed this car and hate to see it go but my wife wants a 68 Bullitt Charger clone and I need to keep the peace along with needing the garage space and the money to enable that project. I have a $30K reserve that is much less that I have invested but I have had more than a decade of enjoyment with it that has to be worth something. I reserve the right to end this auction early as it is for sale locally.
This car had been appraised a few years ago at 35K for insurance reasons and I believe it to be in the #2 category. "Old Cars Buyers Guide" shows a #2 Challenger at around $36,000.00 with add 75% for 440 six pack. If this car was a real numbers matching 440 six pack car it would be a 50K trailer queen and not something you could drive and enjoy. They are only worth what someone else will pay so you be the judge.
Winning bidder must make arrangement for payment and pick up within 10 days of end of auction. The title will be turned over the to buyer upon meeting these requirements.
Thanks for the interest.

2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Stellantis earnings rise along with EV sales
Wed, Feb 22 2023AMSTERDAM — Automaker Stellantis on Wednesday reported its earnings grew in 2022 from a year earlier and said its push into electric vehicles led to a jump in sales even as it faces growing competition from an industrywide shift to more climate-friendly offerings. Stellantis, formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler and FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot, said net revenue of 179.6 billion euros ($191 billion) was up 18% from 2021, citing strong pricing and its mix of vehicles. It reported net profit of 16.8 billion euros, up 26% from 2021. Stellantis plans to convert all of its European sales and half of its U.S. sales to battery-electric vehicles by 2030. It said the strategy led to a 41% increase in battery EV sales in 2022, to 288,000 vehicles, compared with the year earlier. The company has “demonstrated the effectiveness of our electrification strategy in Europe,” CEO Carlos Tavares said in a statement. “We now have the technology, the products, the raw materials and the full battery ecosystem to lead that same transformative journey in North America, starting with our first fully electric Ram vehicles from 2023 and Jeep from 2024.” The automaker is competing in an increasingly crowded field for a share of the electric vehicle market. Companies are scrambling to roll out environmentally friendly models as they look to hit goals of cutting climate-changing emissions, driven by government pressure. The transformation has gotten a boost from a U.S. law that is rolling out big subsidies for clean technology like EVs but has European governments calling out the harm that they say the funding poses to homegrown industry across the Atlantic. Stellantis' Jeep brand will start selling two fully electric SUVs in North America and another one in Europe over the next two years. It says its Ram brand will roll out an electric pickup truck this year, joining a rush of EV competitors looking to claim a piece of the full-size truck market. The company plans to bring 25 battery-electric models to the U.S. by 2030. As part of that push, it has said it would build two EV battery factories in North America. A $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung will bring one of those facilities to Indiana, which is expected to employ up to 1,400 workers. The other factory will be in Windsor, Ontario, a collaboration with South KoreaÂ’s LG Energy Solution that aims to create about 2,500 jobs. The EV push comes amid a slowdown in U.S.
