1970 Dodge Challenger R/t Convertible on 2040-cars
New Baltimore, Michigan, United States
|
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. 271 pictures of this Challenger can be seen on our web site www.afterhoursrestorations.com.

Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions
Tue, 03 Sep 2013It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
Guy trying to sell Challenger Hellcat for $89,000 because VIN ends in '666'
Mon, Jul 27 2015The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is undoubtedly one of the baddest cars on the road today. With a 707-horsepower supercharged V8 snarling under the hood, the coupe can go down the road like a bat out of hell. There's not much that could make one of these muscle machines much more menacing, but a seller on Craigslist has one bizarre solution: offering a hellacious Hellcat with a VIN marking the Dodge as the beastly 666. What's the price for such unholy identification? That's a cool $89,000 – around $30,000 more than a brand new, less sacrilegious example. The seller claims that the Challenger's blasphemous number makes the vehicle "one of a kind," which is true only to the extent that VINs ending 665 and 667 would be similarly unique. The seller also says in the Craigslist ad, "This car is sure to become a collector's item and will only increase in value." There's no question that the Hellcat is a special machine, and the models just might be worth something decades into the future. Expecting that a future owner is going to care about the VIN seems pretty optimistic, though, unless this is either the first or last example, which it's not. To the credit of this superstitious seller, the Challenger appears completely untouched with all of the warning stickers, paperwork and even the plastic still covering the seats. So, the new owner is at least getting a practically untouched example. While we applaud audacity here, a roughly $30,000 premium for an unholy VIN seems a bit... devilish.
