Up for auction is one of the most nicely restored 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T convertibles in existence. It was restored professionally to factory specs. The way you see it is the way it rolled off the assembly line back in January 1970.

It has its numbers matching 383 engine which was restored to factory specs and ran on a dyno before installed. The transmission was completely torn down, detailed and completely rebuilt to factory specs. The 8 3/4 rear end was also torn down and rebuilt. The housing was chemically dipped to remove all of the junk in the housing. The center section was cleaned, detailed and completely rebuilt with new clutches and bearings.

The interior has been completely restored. The seat frames were media blasted and painted. Then new seat foams and covers were installed. The gauge cluster was completely restored by Auto Instruments. The door and rear interior panels were recovered by Just Dashes as well as the dash pad. The heater control panel is new so it has the correct chrome detail vs. the silver paint pen most use. The radio is a new reproduction that looks original on the outside (also with the correct chrome detail) but is new on the inside with IPOD and blue tooth capabilities. All of the seat belts are new as well as the correct consol. The dash frame and steering column were painted with NOS correct suede paint.

All of the convertible top components are new including: power top pump, both cylinders, and all of the plastic lines. Top was professionally installed and looks great. The frame was media blasted and repainted the correct shade of satin black. Correct new satin chrome latched and receivers were installed.

The front suspension was completely detailed using cosmoline on the upper and lower control arms. All front suspension parts were detailed and coated with RPM (rust preventative magic sold by ECS Automotive).

The exhaust was purchased from Accurate Exhaust. It is one step louder than factory and has a perfect tone for a convertible.

The engine compartment is completely detailed with the correct radiator restored by Ray’s Radiator and a date coded carbureted restored by Scott Smith (Harms Auto).

I can write a book on this car. To sum it up everything on this car was touched CORRECTLY. What needed to be plated was plated correctly, not sprayed with metal color aerosol paint cans.

We only use the best vendors on our restorations. This car was not built with the intensions of selling it. This is an investment piece that just happens to be but on the market for personal reasons. This is not a car that has been put back together with old repainted cleaned up parts. Everything on this car was restored to new condition or replaced with new quality reproduction parts.

We only restore Mopar’s. It is what we specialize in and all we do. This is a gorgeous car and we guarantee you will be happy with it. You can see 271 pictures of this Challenger on our site afterhoursrestorations.com. We are only interested in positive transactions. If for any reason you are not happy with this car at time of pick up the sale will be void and all funds will be returned no questions asked.

Feel free to have the car inspected. The car is on a platform hoist so it can be inspected front to back, inside and out.

Seller reserves the right to end auction early because car is for sale locally. Please ask questions.

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.

Stormtrooper Dodge Charger Episode VII: The Charger Awakens

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
