1971 Dodge Challenger 340 Conv ****
If you are
looking for great running and driving Mopar E-Body drop-top I challenge you to
find a better example under $40k. This was
born and raised H-code 340 Dodge Challenger convertible and it has GREAT documentation –
check out the details below!
This is one of the most optioned out E-body rag-tops ever built according to
Galen. Options include Power Steering, Power Front Disc Brakes, T/A
Challenger quick ratio steering box, AM-FM, Cassette Player- Recorder,
Power Windows, Power Top, Buckets, Console, very rare Chrome package,
Luggage Rack, etc. 20 years ago, during the restoration the previous owner
added the Go-Wing, a Tuff Wheel, and the Side Rallye Scoops. PAINT, BODY, FRAME &
SUSPENSION The car was restored
about 20 years ago and still presents itself pretty well. The technology of the
time was not what it is today. The rear quarters have been replaced, the trunk
drops were not available then so they remain original and in need of repair.
The typical E-Body Dutchman panel cracking is evident but not too bad. The
rockers where the quarters were welded could’ve been done better. There is a
spot on the driver’s door where the paint is cracked probably due to either bad
prep or filler. There is a patch in the trunk floor; there is rust in one of
the wheel houses and a small hole in the front frame rail on the passenger
side. All these issues have been like this since the car was purchased by the
current owner (15 years ago). The car looks, runs, drives, and handles
wonderfully and will bring the next owner many years of enjoyment. The suspension is all
good and functions as new and entire braking system is 100%, very solid, tight,
and the quick ratio steering makes the highway on ramps very fun! GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM The glass looks to be
original glass maybe with the exception of the windshield, all power windows
operate well and line-up perfectly. The front and rear bumpers are in very
good condition. The stainless trim is in great shape, the headlight
bezels, grille, emblems, and mirrors are all amazing. All lighting works; the
high/low beams, dome light, reverse lights, tail lights, parking lights, turn
signals, four-way flashers, glove light, trunk light, and the license plate
light. The top is in GREAT shape and looks new, glass rear window – the power
top operates very well, no issues there. The “parade boot” fits nicely and is
in good shape. The car has the jack assembly and space save spare with fill
canister.
INTERIOR The white vinyl interior
is 100% complete and in wonderful condition, mostly new from what I can see. The
seats have been recovered and new seat foams ensure your correct view over the
dashboard. The console and glove compartment doors operate well; the seat belts
all work, the dash lights are bright; all the gauges report in correctly, the AM-FM
radio and speakers all work great, the playing speed on the cassette seems a
bit slow, the wipers, horn, etc. all work well. The HVAC controls work on all
fan settings and blows hot, and the AC runs nice and cool. All factory gauges
work and operate correctly – these Rallye Gauge Clusters are great looking in
these cars.
DRIVE TRAIN The NOM 1970 340 has excellent
power and runs extremely smooth and is very easy to drive. The motor does
not smoke, tick or make any noises… again it runs great with no issues, it was
rebuilt to stock specs during the resto. The transmission is NOT the
original 727 transmission. It shifts excellent through the gears and is an
absolute blast to drive! If you get a little aggressive she’ll reward you
with a nice, firm, “chirp” in between the gears… The car stays cool even in
stop and go traffic. The 8-3/4” SureGrip rear-end is running a set of 3:55
gears and yes, being a SureGrip; it’s an “Posi” rear. Documents include TWO Fender tags, the ORIGINAL broadcast sheet (buildsheet), original sales brochure.

MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper
Sat, Jun 6 2015MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.
Chrysler recalls 112k family-haulers over airbag controllers
Sun, Feb 7 2016The Basics: Chrysler has issued a recall for an array of minivans and crossovers manufactured in 2007 and 2008. The models affected include the 2009 Dodge Journey, 2008-09 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country. The 2009 Volkswagen Routan, which was manufactured by Chrysler, is also being recalled by FCA. The automaker estimates that 112,001 units in the United States are affected, all told. The Problem: Corrosion in the air bag control unit could prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, or alternatively deploy prematurely. Chrysler points out that "none of the affected vehicles are equipped with ammonium-nitrate inflators" like those fitted by Takata. Injuries/Deaths: The manufacturer reports seven minor injuries (but no accidents) potentially related to this issue. The fix: Chrysler will replace the air bag control unit, though it has not yet outlined a timeframe for doing so. If you own one: Look for a recall notice in the mail and then schedule service with your local dealership. If you don't receive one, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number S07. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Air Bag Control Unit Power Supply Corrosion Report Receipt Date: JAN 29, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V047000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 112,001 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: FCA US LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured December 31, 2007, to August 31, 2008, 2008-2009 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured June 18, 2007, to August 31, 2008, and 2009 Volkswagen Routan vehicles manufactured August 11, 2008, to August 31, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail. CONSEQUENCE: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Dodge Hellcat orders on hold due to 'unprecedented demand'
Sun, Mar 15 2015Want to get your hands on a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger or Charger Hellcat to call your very own? We don't blame you, and you're not alone. According to Motor Authority and confirmed by a spokesperson from Chrysler, Dodge has gotten so many orders for its stable of Hellcats that it simply cannot keep up with demand: "Due to unprecedented demand for the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcats, we are temporarily restricting orders while we validate current orders that are in the system." Put another way, if you're waiting for a Hellcat, your wait is likely to be a lot longer than you'd like. We've reached out to Chrysler to find out how long it might take for a new customer to get a new Hellcat, and we'll update if and when we hear back.
