1970 Dodge Charger 500- 440 V8 With 727 Automatic on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
|
You are bidding on an unrestored 1970 Dodge Charger 500. This car was born with a 383 (big block car) and currently has a 440 in it. Obviously this is not a number matching car. Has a 727 automatic with a console shifter. The car is very complete. Comes with the original bucket seats and rear bench seat (not in the car but pictured) that would need re-upholstered. There are different aftermarket bucket seats in it now. The car comes with an extra original Chrome bumper in nice condition (these go for over $1k on Ebay alone and were a 1 year run as the 69 and 71 had very different bumpers/grills). The 440 that is in the car now runs pretty strong and sounds exactly like you would expect it. It does have a slight exhaust leak in one of the headers. It has an Edelbrock aftermarket intake manifold and a recently replaced Holly Carb (no details on either, they were on the car when I purchased 3 years ago). I drove it about 30 minutes to where it sits now last fall with no problems other than non-stop "thumbs up" from all the guys I passed on the highway. The tires have never had any air added in the last 3 years and sits on the Magnum 500 wheels. I am not certain of the mileage on the car as the odometer stopped before I bought it. the body seems pretty straight and solid. Some pictures of the frame rails included. Its about as solid of an unrestored project Mopar you will find. There are not many unrestored that are this complete (of course, not original motor in this case) and in this good a starting condition. If you bring a battery, you can drive it home (within reasonable distance for safety of course since the breaks would need a good once over). Its been in a garage ever since I have owned it (again 3 years). The guy I bought it from in Indiana had it in a storage unit the whole time he owned it. There is not much of any surface rust. For the winning bidder I will also throw in the following restoration book written specifically for the 1970 Charger:
The reserve is set low for this rare piece of Mopar history. I will require a $500 deposit at the close of bidding. You will be responsible for pick-up or arranging for shipping. The car has a clear title in my name in my possession. Nothing funny about the title or ownership here. No bill or sale or any of that non-sense needed. If the car does not sell here, I will likely take it to Mopar Nats in Columbus and sell it. Get it now before the Mopar nation gets their hands on it. |

Watch this Dodge Viper get clawed to death
Tue, 07 Jan 2014There's a scene in the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig's Agent 007 is captured by villain Le Chiffre, played by Mads Mikkelsen. Le Chiffre tortures Bond in a scene that is rather difficult to watch (especially for blokes) and impossible to describe on these digital pages (Google at your own risk). This video is the automotive equivalent of the Casino Royale torture scene.
It shows a Dodge Viper - a late, first-generation GTS judging by the center-exit exhausts - getting assaulted by a giant piece of heavy equipment. The large claw shows no mercy on the V10-powered sports car, rending its muscular curves into pieces and then running it over, just for good measure. It's a painful video to watch (and hear!), made worse because we don't know what the Viper did to deserve such a fate. About a third of the way through the video, the cameraman indicates that the man with the claw is a new operator from Chrysler, and it appears there may be some fire damage, but beyond that, we don't have much to go on.
Scroll down for the video but be warned, it isn't for the faint of heart.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
Travis Pastrana signs with Dodge for another year, brings partner Bryce Menzies [w/video]
Sun, 14 Apr 2013Dodge and SRT Motorsports announced that the Dodge Dart will be returning for its sophomore season of the Global Rallycross Championship with a two-car team fielded by Pastrana Racing. Travis Pastrana drove his GRC Dart to victory lane in the fourth race of the car's inaugural season, and his race team is looking for even more success with the addition of off-road racer Bryce Menzies behind the wheel of the second car.
The 2013 GRC season kicks off on April 21 in Brazil with plenty of dirt-spewing, ramp-jumping action. Scroll down for a video from the cars' main sponsor, Red Bull, and a press release from Chrysler.
