For auction on ebay is my original California 1970 Dodge Charger.  Please check out all the photos below.  The car is now FM3, Panther Pink, and looks awesome.  If you are looking to be different this is the car for you.  It is very striking and the color combo looks great.  Has all new R/T badging and original R/T door scoops with the rare optional white R/T longitudinal pinstriping.  Please read everything below to see everything done to this car and help answer many of the questions you may have.This car is rust free and as solid of a 70 Charger as you will ever find.  The car retains all of its original body panels except for the center trunk floor which had some pitting and pin holes so it was replaced.  I will break down each area to describe all the work done.  Car runs and drives great and just needs a new owner. Has build sheet and its original fender tag. This is a fully loaded 1970 Charger!

 

Body- Car has new paint job that was done about a year ago.  Car has all original exterior body panels (only center trunk pan replaced).  Quarters, top, sail panels, floor boards, frame, rockers , etc, etc is all original and in excellent shape.   The car is very straight and looks great.  It is not an original FM3 pink car- however a complete color change was done.  All trim, bumpers, door handles, grille , taillights, etc were removed prior to paint.  Engine bay and trunk also painted without engine installed, so it was done right.   Grille and taillights along with tail panel in very nice condition. Grille has no cracks or breaks.  Original front bumper, rear has been replaced with a new bumper.  All stainless is original and in excellent shape. This car was stored for a very long time inside and all trim was near perfect. Has original very nice wheel lip mouldings, rocker moulding, drip rails, top of door stainless and also vinyl top trim. Marker lights are excellent with no pitting and nice chrome. Nice white vinyl top.  New hood pins as well. Headlights open and close like they should.

Interior-  All new interior including new carpet, seat covers, dash cap, door panels, trunk mat, headliner.  Original dash in nice shape.  Being an SE car it has woodgrain interior, including Woodgrain steering wheel, dash, and door panels.  The driver side seat has the rare and very cool, 70 only, Six way seat. The steering wheel no longer has a crack, it was changed out with another woodgrain wheel with no cracks.

Engine-  Has a rebuilt 383 magnum engine.  All new exterior accessories for reliability purposes.  The engine has less than 1000 miles on it and runs great.  New distributor, carb, starter, etc.  Motor is a stock rebuild with mild cam.  Has HP manifolds into new 2 1/2 full exhaust with tips out back. Motor is ready to drive and everything under the hood has been replaced.  Since everything was replaced the car has been driven about 40 miles. 

Transmission- Fully rebuilt 727 automatic transmission with new torque converter.  Shifts as it should with correct kickdown linkage.

Driveshaft- new ujoints on both ends and speed balanced.

Exhaust- Brand new 2 1/2 exhaust with stock turbo mufflers and tips out the back.  Will post pics of exhaust during auction.

Wheels/Tires-  Brand new 17x8 and 17x9.5 chrome "old school" wheels. Tires are brand new 245/45/17 up front and 255/50/17 rear. If buyer does not want the 17's, i do have a set of original rallye wheels with regular radial tires i could put on instead. Buyer's choice.  

Electrical- Lights, turn signals, hazards , dome light, headlights , etc all work as they should.  Has new engine harness.  Has new wiper motor as well.  Light bulbs were replaced.

Misc.- All R/T badging is new.  Wiper washer bottle/pump and hoses are new.  Stock 26" radiator.  Glass all in good condition and windows roll up and down great.  Has new weatherstripping in trunk, doors and roof rail.

Brakes-  All new brakes on the car along with new hardware and new wheel cylinders.  Has DISC brakes up front and drums in the rear. 

Suspension-  Suspension was replaced about 2 years ago and is still new with very little mileage (approx. 400 miles)

Rear end- Stock 8 3/4 rear end with 3.55 suregrip (posi for people not familiar with mopar)

 

Overall as you can see a lot has been done to the car to get into the condition you see below.  The car has a ton of new parts and is fully loaded with everything a Charger in 1970 could just about have.  Six way seat, woodgrain wheel, disc brakes, suregrip rear, hood pins, etc.  All the stuff people add to their cars this one already has!  The car was an A/C car from the factory. The only thing not hooked up currently is the radio.  Speakers are in the back, they just need wires from radio to speakers and you will have a radio if that is important to you.   Look around and try to find a 70 Charger in panther pink for sale, they are not out there.  Rare opportunity to own an affordable 70 charger with all the hard work done.  Get in and enjoy!

2013 Dart GT will hold us over until SRT stokes Dodge's handsome compact

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

No, this isn't quite the Dart SRT4 we've been waiting for - and still believe is coming - but as part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show lineup, Dodge will be showing off the slightly sportier Dart GT seen here.
Building on the already well-equipped Limited model, the GT adds performance enhancements including a more powerful engine, 18-inch aluminum wheels, sport suspension calibration, unique front fascia and dual exhaust. Inside, you'll find perforated Nappa leather seats, a heated steering wheel and front seats, dual-zone climate control, remote start (if you spec the automatic transmission), Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, a seven-inch TFT display in the gauge cluster, and a whole lot more. Optional goodies include hyper black aluminum wheels, a technology group (pushbutton start, keyless go, rain-sensing wipers, blind spot monitoring and smart-beam headlamps), power sunroof, Sirius radio, Garmin navigation, Alpine premium sound and high-intensity discharge headlamps.
Powering the Dart GT is Chrysler's 2.4-liter MultiAir2 four-cylinder engine producing 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. That grunt is sent to the front wheels via a standard six-speed manual transmission, but a six-speed automatic 'box is optional.

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.

Dodge recalls 121,603 examples of Dart for loss of brake assist

Fri, Dec 4 2015

Dodge will recall 121,603 worldwide examples of the 2013-2014 Dart with the 2.0- and 2.4-liter engines because of possible loss of power brake assistance. The company reports two minor injuries and seven accidents potentially related to this problem. The affected models have build dates before Jan. 24, 2014. There are 105,458 of these vehicles in the US; 11,996 in Canada; 3,705 in Mexico; and 444 outside of NAFTA. This campaign doesn't affect Darts with the 1.4-liter engine. These vehicles' brake-booster vacuum tube routing can potentially allow oil to access and eventually to degrade the brake booster diaphragm. If this happens, then the vehicles could lose braking assist. The brakes themselves would continue to work, but the driver would experience longer stopping distances. A pop or similar sound of a vacuum leak sometimes precedes the problem, according to the automaker. Dealers will inspect the components and replace the vacuum tube. If technicians find oil in the tube, they'll also swap out the vacuum pump, brake booster, and master cylinder. Affected owners will receive notice from the company within the next 60 days. Statement: Vacuum-tube Assembly December 3, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 105,458 compact sedans in the U.S. to inspect and replace vacuum-tube assemblies and certain other components, as required. Some of the affected vehicles may be subject to oil migration that could affect their brake systems' power-assist feature. Foundation brake function is unaffected. However, if this condition occurs, the driver may notice hard pedal-feel on brake application, and longer distances may be required to stop the vehicle in emergency situations. An FCA US investigation identified certain model-year 2013-14 vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter engines, may have brake-booster vacuum-tube routing that inadvertently allows oil to reach the brake booster diaphragm, if ever the vacuum-pump check valve fails. Oil may degrade the diaphragm and lead to a loss of brake-assist – a feature that helps reduce stopping distances. FCA US is aware of two minor injuries and seven accidents that are or may be related to this condition. The recall is limited to model-year 2013-14 Dodge Dart sedans produced before Jan. 24, 2014. It also affects an estimated 11,996 cars in Canada; 3,705 in Mexico and 444 outside the NAFTA region. Vehicles equipped with 1.4-liter engines are excluded.
