1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE - True JS29 California Car
Up for auction is a rare factory 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE, B5 Blue/White Vinyl Top with Blue Interior, with only 44,000 documented original miles. This is a true “JS29” RT/SE car, not a replica or clone. Have Title, Fender Tag, maintenance documentation, etc. This car was manufactured in the Los Angeles, CA plant but was also built for CA emissions, making this a California car. The car is now located in Denver, CO. This car is 100% Rust-Free - GUARANTEED!!! The only filler you’ll find on this car was used for leveling of the panels. The car has all of its original body panels, except for the trunk which was professionally replaced. Even the lower quarter panels are still original, all frame rails, engine compartment, floor boards, battery tray, etc are 100% rust free…please see pictures on Photobucket. This is an original “N” code RT/SE Challenger, which means it came with a 383 originally. However, that engine was replaced with a 1970 date correct (F)440 engine very early on in life (still has original 727 transmission.) Other than the engine, the car retains most of all it’s original equipment. The History of the Challenger: Built in LA for California in late 1969, where it spent little time on the road. The 440 engine was swapped into the car sometime in California. I know this because I still have the Colorado Vehicle Inspection Report from 1988 (see photobucket), listing the 440 as the engine and the car only having 21,039 miles…that’s an average of just over 1,000 miles per year! Since then I have maintenance records documenting the vehicles miles to present day. The car actually has only had two sets of tires installed on it, the second set is still on the car. They were installed in 1991 when the car only had 37,201 miles…which means the current tires only have 7,000 miles on them. The car was taken off the road and stored inside in 1993, please see the picture of the Colorado registration tag for the year 1994 that never made it on the vehicle’s license plate. The car was placed on jack stands for the past 20 years until it was recently repainted its original color (B5 Blue) had a new vinyl top installed, gone through and reassembled. The car retains all of its original interior! What makes this car Unique/Rare: - The obvious, it’s a rare RT/SE with only 44,000 documented miles. - It’s an original California car. - The car actually has a factory mis-stamp body/frame. All of the numbers on the body are exactly 1,000 digits off. Lets me explain, the VIN # is JS29N0E112194, this VIN number is also found on the Title, Fender Tag, Transmission, Drivers Door sticker, etc. However, all stamps on the body show the last 6 digits of the VIN# to be “111194”, the cowl under the windshield, the radiator support stamp, the trunk, etc. All date codes match throughout the entire car. So the factory should have stamped the body with the 3rd of the 6 digits being a (2), instead they mistakenly stamped it with a (1). While this doesn’t take away from the value of the car, some people consider these cars to be even more valuable since there are only a handful of cars that were factory mis-stamped. Please see all pics of the vehicles body stamps on Photobucket. - This car is also a factory B5 Blue car with the matching Blue interior. Great color combo…all the replicas or clones are always done in black or white interior. - This is a factory A/C car, with all A/C equipment still on the vehicle. - Original Factory 8-track (now has aftermarket 8-track) - Rim-Blow Steering Wheel - All Original Interior (including factory Vinyl Seats with Cloth Inserts) - 3 Speaker Dash - Factory front disc brakes/sway bar - 8 3/4 Rear End w/ 3.55 gears - Original Spare Tire still in trunk, along with jack - Date Correct Tinted Glass - I think this car has every piece of Chrome or Stainless trim that was available in 1970, including rocker panel moldings. The Good: The doors, trunk, etc. all close great and sound extremely solid. All Gauges, lights, inside and outside the vehicle work. The drives extremely well and floats down the road, no rattles, shaking, vibrations, rides just like new. Goes straight down the road, can take your hands off the wheel and the car will drive in a perfectly straight line without with the steering wheel even turning…amazing for a car that’s 44 years old!!!!! Car had a factory undercoating applied, and all of it is still adhered to the bottom of the vehicle. All the lines on the car are straight, it’s never been wrecked. There is probably little more I can say that hasn’t been already, or that you can’t see for yourself in the pictures here on Ebay, or the 160 pictures on Photobucket. There are also numerous videos loaded of the car being driven around my neighborhood, running, walk-arounds, videos of the electronics working, etc. This car is in amazing shape, from bumper to bumper! - New Carpet - New Paint - New Vinyl Roof - All Polished Stainless - New Plugs/Wires - New Electronic Ignition - New Carb Rebuild - All New Weatherstripping - New Fluids/Filters - Etc. Email me for the link to the photos on Photobucket, Ebay will no longer allow you to post links in your descriptions. The Bad: (I’m being really picky here…) - Ummm…I guess the door panels have some scratches in them, so those could be replaced if you really wanted to be picky - There appears to be a very minor transmission leak (putting some stop-leak in would likely fix it) - Clock in the dash doesn’t work - Has an electric fuel pump (some people really like these, I don’t personally) - The roof rail weatherstripping was in good condition, but I wanted to replace it to match the rest of the car. It’s already been purchased and comes with the vehicle. - Missing ashtray in center console
Shipping/Payment/Warranty/Deposit/Bidding Shipping and handling will be paid and arranged by the Buyer. I can assist with loading and making the vehicle accessible, but will not bare cost of freight or arranging of delivery. I will not ship outside of the US. A Deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of auction closing to my PayPal account. Remainder of payment will be made in cash, cashiers check, or money order.

All bidders having zero feedback needs to contact me via email before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. No scammers please. Questions/Viewing Vehicle Please contact me via email if you have any additional questions regarding the car, need more pictures, pictures of specific items, or would like to setup a time to view the vehicle. I am located in Denver, CO and will make myself available to anyone wanting to come by and view the car in-person before securing.

I feel that this is a very fair price for a car of this originality, low-mileage and condition. I actually anticipate the auction superseding that amount. The last 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE 440 I saw being sold on Ebay had an asking price of $82,000. That car didn’t sell by the time of the auction end, but since it was not relisted I feel that the seller may have accepted a price slightly lower than his asking price.

HAS ALL 160 PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THIS CAR.
There is a reason why I have 100% feedback. I want to be as upfront with you as possible with this car, so please ask all questions and view all pictures. Thank you very much and Happy Bidding!! |

Chrysler to reveal next minivan at 2016 Detroit Auto Show
Tue, Jan 13 2015All eyes in the industry are presently fixed on this year's Detroit Auto Show, but over at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, they're already looking towards next year's show. That's when the Italian-American automaker says it'll unveil the next Chrysler minivan. The announcement, made on the FCA Corporate Twitter feed, promises that the next Pentastar minivan will debut in January 2016, which (along with the hashtag NAIAS) suggests the next-generation family hauler will debut at the Detroit show next year. Auburn Hills is expected to replace the current Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan with two all-new models: one keeping the minivan form, and the other shifting into more of a crossover. Just which nameplate gets the new form factor, and which will debut at Cobo next year, we don't know. Odds are good that it'll be the minivan not the CUV, though. Chrysler's minivan has been a winning business for the Detroit automaker, pioneering the segment, outselling the competition and marketing around the world under more brands and nameplates than just about anything else in the industry. The vehicle has been sold as the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Chrysler Voyager, Plymouth Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Ram Cargo Van and Volkswagen Routan, to say nothing of long-wheelbase Grand versions of many of the aforementioned nameplates.

Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont engine-cover recall affects 350k CUVs
Wed, Jul 22 2015FCA is recalling 349,731 examples of the 2011-2015 Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont worldwide to better secure their engine covers. Of these affected vehicles, there are 144,416 in the US, 43,679 in Canada, 46,231 in Mexico, and 115,405 elsewhere. About 10 percent of them are also still at dealers, according to the automaker. Only models with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine are affected by this campaign. According to the company, the engine covers on these vehicles can be dislodged, and this can pose a fire risk if the loose part comes in contact with hot exhaust components. Warning signs of this happening include a noise under the hood, burning smell or a light on the instrument panel. The problem was discovered after three incidents on rough roads in Chile, and there was one minor injury there. According to FCA US spokesperson Eric Mayne to Autoblog, there have been eight occurrences of this issue reported in the US, but these were all related to "heat damage." There have been no reported injuries here. To fix the problem, dealers will install new engine-cover retainers on the affected models. These repairs will begin in August. As always for recall repairs, owners won't be charged. Statement: Engine Cover July 22, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 144,416 crossover utility vehicles (CUVs) in the U.S. to better secure their engine covers. Engine covers in certain vehicles may become dislodged. If they come in contact with exhaust components, it may pose a fire risk. This condition was discovered during an FCA US investigation of three incidents in Chile. In each case, the vehicle had been driven extensively on unpaved or uneven surfaces. The Company is aware of a single related injury, described as minor. Affected are 2011-2015 Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont CUVs equipped with 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engines. FCA US will install upgraded engine-cover retainers in these vehicles. The remedy will be available when customer notification begins next month; service will be performed free of charge. Vehicles equipped with six-cylinder engines are not affected. Additional Journey and Freemont populations also are subject to this campaign. They comprise an estimated 43,679 vehicles in Canada; 46,231 in Mexico; and 115,405 outside the NAFTA region. Of the 349,731 total vehicles subject to this campaign, approximately 10 percent remain in dealer hands.
2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags
Sat, Jan 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.
