1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible #'s Matching Beautiful Rare on 2040-cars
Pascoag, Rhode Island, United States

Rare Dodge Challenger Convertible Slant 6. Car is in excellent condition. I have too many classics and need to make some room. This car is too nice not to be driven or shown. I had a full restoration done on this car about 2 years ago and I'm lucky if I drove it 20 miles. I pulled it out to check everything and all checks out fine. The only thing I noticed was the snaps that mount to rear panel that top boot cover snaps to are in a bag in the trunk and not installed. I never noticed after restoration because I never put the top down. There is also a little staining on intake manifold under air cleaner where some gas leaked when engine was installed. This Challenger has a matching numbers drive train. I forgot where the numbers were so didn't take picture but I can guarantee that they are all there and match as I witnessed all numbers during restoration to make sure (radiator support, cowl, engine, transmission, rear end, all match). The car is restored to what it was when new. When I bought it the car was still wearing it's original paint. The only questionable thing is the bumble bee stripe. The fender tag does not call for it but as I said the car had it's original paint and the stripe was on it painted the way they did back in 1970, so I figured either the dealership added the stripe or the factory. I saved the original trunk lid with stripe for anyone who wanted to check. This car was found in a barn in southern Rhode Island. The car had not seen the road since the 70's. I paid someone a finders fee and 20k for the car and then sent it to the restoration shop for a rotisserie nut and bolt restoration.

There are very few left, especially full matching numbers. Most people pulled out the slant engines and put a big block in the car since all convertibles were set up with torque boxes to receive all engines. When was the last time you saw one with full matching drive train? I have a Hemi clone convertible and this Slant car get's all the attention. It's just refreshing to see a car that is what it was and nothing more. There was a write up in Hemmings about a similar car from Massachusetts that had similar options but engine was not matching, it was also featured in Mopar Magazine, I believe. In any case a refreshing original change. I know how hard it can be to buy a car on the internet. I have bought many from honest sellers and 1 from a not so honest seller. I will answer any questions and invite you to view the car for inspection. If you need to fly in to view, I can assist.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
Stellantis expects to hit emissions target without Tesla's help
Tue, May 4 2021Franco-Italian carmaker Stellantis expects to achieve its European carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions targets this year without environmental credits bought from Tesla, its CEO said in an interview published on Tuesday. Stellantis was formed through the merger of France's PSA and Italy's FCA, which spent about 2 billion euros ($2.40 billion) to buy European and U.S. CO2 credits from electric vehicle maker Tesla over the 2019-2021 period. "With the electrical technology that PSA brought to Stellantis, we will autonomously meet carbon dioxide emission regulations as early as this year," Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares said in the interview with French weekly Le Point. "Thus, we will not need to call on European CO2 credits and FCA will no longer have to pool with Tesla or anyone." California-based Tesla earns credits for exceeding emissions and fuel economy standards and sells them to other automakers that fall short. European regulations require all car manufacturers to reduce CO2 emissions for private vehicles to an average of 95 grams per kilometer this year. A Stellantis spokesman said the company is in discussions with Tesla about the financial implications of the decision to stop the pooling agreement. "As a result of the combination of Groupe PSA and FCA, Stellantis will be in a position to achieve CO2 targets in Europe for 2021 without open passenger car pooling arrangements with other automakers," he added. Tesla's sales of environmental credits to rival automakers helped it to announce slightly better than expected first-quarter revenue this week. The next tightening of European regulations will soon be the subject of proposals from the European Commission. The 2030 target could be lowered to less than 43 grams/km.
