1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible Jh27c0 1 Of Only 91 Made With 3 Speed on 2040-cars
Bangor, Maine, United States
|
This is a 1970 Challenger Convertible that is a factory 6 cylinder car with a 3 speed manual trans. They only made "91" 6 cylinder 3 speed manual challenger ragtops in 1970. The original /6 is long gone. The original 3 speed manual trans is still in the car with all linkage hooked up. The car has an 8 3/4 in it now. No idea what is has for gear ratio as we have not checked. The challenger comes with a 1972 340 engine. The prior owner stated it is a forged crank 340. Engine needs a complete rebuild and I have no history on the motor except that is came out of a Challenger. This convertible is a project car. A project car that is located in the Northest and has probably spent a considerable amount of time here. It has most of the convertible specific parts and they are in pretty nice shape with exception of the sunvisors. The rear view mirror bezel is missing. The car is a power top car and the convertible motor is still in place. The lines are however cracked and therefore the top now goes up and down by hand. The convertible frame appears to be in very nice condition. The convertible windshield trim inner and outer is very nice. The rear convertible trim is there as well and only needs a couple dings banged out and repolished. The convertible rear door panels have speaker holes in each one. One is brown and has been dyed, the other is an original black one. The rear convertible seat has a solid frame and also has the boot channel intact. The car comes with a new convertible white top with glass back window. The seat cores are in good condition. Front door panels are very nice. The side glass is in pretty good shape with minimal scratches. It has all the convertible specific glass. The front windshield is there but will probably need a new one. The body needs considerable work. The rear of the car was hit as some point and the tailight panel is tweaked as you can see in the pics. At the the time of the accident it must have went off the road as the rear frame rails are bent towards the end of the car. The car needs a whole new trunk floor and extensions so ideally the car should have the one piece trunk floor and frame rails assembly offered from Dynacorn installed as you will cure the frame rail issues and sheet metal at the same time. It is only $1300 for this piece and will cure the two aforementioned issues. The floorpans needs replacing as well. The cowl has a portion replaced around the booster area that was cut out of another challenger but was not welded in yet. The front frame assembly is very straight and solid. The inners fenders have been worked at some point and show signs of excessive bodywork. They should be replaced. The fenders, doors and quarters have all been patched and are in rough condition. The challenger hood looks ok and the trunk lid is useable as well. The car is a major project however is a good starting point and has 99% of the hard to find convertible parts included. The car come with a radiator core. The heater box is also in very good condition. There are some extra parts that will be included in the trunk consisting of vents, original weatherstripping front valence, etc. The 340 engine will be installed in the engine bay for transport only. It will not be running. The car has the original fender tag, and all body numbers match the VIN. There is no broadcast sheet. I am listing this car for my brother as he has decided to focus on a different car he is restoring. THE WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE CHALLENGER ARE NOT INCLUDED. THEY GO ON MY CAR AND ARE ONLY USED FOR ROLLERS CURRENTLY. The car will have four rollers that hold air installed on the car upon shipping. There is NO title for this car. Titles are not needed in Maine and this car has been in storage for 20 years. The owner will be provided a valid maine registration and bill of sale. This will typically be enough to register a car in your state. Do your due dilligence prior to bidding. Please come and inspect the car if you are concerned with its condition. It is a major project but a worthy restoration candidate. There is no brakes and does not run consider that when setting up a shipping company.

Fiat Chrysler expands Takata airbag recall to 3.3M vehicles
Fri, Dec 19 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is expanding its recall of vehicles equipped with Takata airbags, moving beyond Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands to the greater US, as well as Mexico, Canada and beyond. The affected vehicles, some 3.3 million in total, were built between 2004 and 2007, with many models, including the Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500, Durango and the Chrysler 300, having been affected by Chrysler's previous recall. Despite the somewhat alarming nature that comes with a recall of this many vehicles, it seems that Chrysler is moving more out of an abundance of caution (and federal pressure) than anything else, saying: "Neither FCA US, nor Takata Corporation, the supplier, has identified a defect in this population of inflators. These components also are distinct from Takata inflators cited in fatalities involving other auto makers. More than 1,000 laboratory tests have been performed on these components. All deployed as intended, but FCA US continues to study the suspect inflators, which are not used in the Company's current production vehicles." Owners of affected vehicles will be notified and asked to report to dealers for a free replacement driver's side airbag. Scroll down for the official press release from FCA. Statement: Global Air-Bag Inflator Replacement December 19, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC will replace driver's-side air-bag inflators in an estimated 3.3 million older-model vehicles worldwide, in an expansion of an ongoing regional field action. Neither FCA US, nor Takata Corporation, the supplier, has identified a defect in this population of inflators. These components also are distinct from Takata inflators cited in fatalities involving other auto makers. More than 1,000 laboratory tests have been performed on these components. All deployed as intended, but FCA US continues to study the suspect inflators, which are not used in the Company's current production vehicles. Outside of Florida, one of the areas covered by the original action, no FCA US vehicle has been linked to an air-bag deployment of the type that has raised public concern. Nevertheless, the Company is replacing the Takata components tied to that concern. FCA US is aware of one related injury involving one of its vehicles, an older-model sedan. It occurred in a southern Florida region marked by persistent, high, absolute humidity – a condition believed to be a contributing factor in the air-bag deployments under investigation.
Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
China's Geely says it has no plan to buy Fiat Chrysler — as FCA stock leaps
Wed, Aug 16 2017HONG KONG — Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile denied media speculation on Wednesday that it planned to make a takeover bid for Fiat Chryslerk Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh-largest automaker. Geely was one of several Chinese carmakers cited in by Automotive News, which said representatives of "a well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month for FCA, which has a market value of almost $20 billion. "We don't have such a plan at the moment," Geely executive director Gui Shengyue told reporters at an earnings briefing, when asked if Geely was interested in Fiat. He said a foreign acquisition would be complicated, but he did not elaborate. "But for other (Chinese) brands, it could be a fast track for their development," Gui added. However, a source close to the matter said FCA and Geely Automobile's parent firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, had held initial talks late last year, without disclosing their nature. The source confirmed Geely was no longer interested in FCA, noting that the parent company had only three months ago announced its first push into Southeast Asia with the purchase of 49.9 percent of struggling Malaysian carmaker Proton, a deal that also included a stake in Lotus. Geel's denial failed to dent FCA's stock. The price of its Milan-based shares has jumped more than 10 percent to a 19-year high since Automotive News first reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources, that FCA had rejected the Chinese offer as too low. FCA stock on the New York Stock Exchange rose sharply on Monday from $11.60 to $12.38 and on Wednesday was trading at $12.84. FCA declined to comment on Wednesday. FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly called for mergers as a way of sharing the costs of making cleaner, more advanced cars, but he has repeatedly failed to find a partner and retreated from his search for in April, saying FCA would stick to its business plan. He has also spoken of spinning the successful Jeep and Ram divisions off from FCA. Europe's largest carmaker, Volkswagen, and General Motors have both said they are not interested in talks with FCA. On Wednesday, Geely Automobile reported a doubling of first-half profit, above expectations, as cars designed with Sweden's Volvo won over domestic consumers. Volvo is a unit of the Zhejiang Geely group, and has recently announced it will share its technology with Geely.
