Tracy, California, United States

1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE  numbers matching 440ci engine and 727 Torque Flite transmission, 1 of 733 built (have build sheet).  Date built 7/23/1970.

8 3/4 sure grip rear end with .323 gears. California car, all original sheet metal. Factory a/c and cruise control.

92,000 original miles. I bought the car in 2001 with 79,000 miles. All miles since then have been to car shows and a few drives with friends.

The restoration of the car was done in the early 90's. Since then, the car has been freshened up.

New cam, roller rockers, lifters,  push rods, intake, carb, fuel pump, water pump, 2 1/2" exhaust, all hoses and belts, brakes and shocks, vinyl top, transmission was rebuilt and much more.

The car has headers on right now, the original stock exhaust manifolds come with car.

This is a two fender tag car, the second tag was lost during the restoration but I have the codes for that tag. I know that because I met the gentleman at a car show who completed the restoration and has history of the car dating back to the 80's.

The original  paint for the car was burnt orange, car was repainted to Sublime during the restoration.

NOTE, Paint has a few minor chips but you have to look hard to see them. The tack works but is not accurate.  A/C works but needs to be charged with R134.  Overhead consolette low fuel and seatbelt light do not come on.  Driver seat cover shows wear.

This car has won " Best Restored Mopar " back to back years at the Good-Guys car show in Pleasanton Ca.

I do have more pictures if you need to see more. 

Car sold as is. I have the car for sale locally so I reserve the right to stop the auction.

Please email me with any question.

2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive

Sun, 17 Mar 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.
