First off, This is not an original convertible ! It started off as a 1971 2 dr hardtop Challenger. 383 4 spd blue non R/T. This is an orig. export car that spent its life in Lebanon. Don't know anything about the conversion. Could have been done there or somewhere in the states, not sure. The car still looks very presentable, and is considered driver quality. The car sat in a heated garage for 15 years and not driven. I purchased the car 4 or 5 years ago and finally got it running and have only driven it maybe 2-300 miles. No time and have moved on to next project. The trunk and floors appear to be very solid.Some glue residue from carpet being glued in. I think it had front floor pans installed also . When the conversion was done, they definately had a donor convertible for parts, as most everything from that car was used. Looks good from outside. Could have spent a little more time with some of the brackets and stuff behind rear seat, but isn't terrible. , only missing a few things, such as a convertible back seat, rear panels are repops and are green. Not factory style carpet, should be replaced. Top is in good shape, although the motor for the top does not work. I have put the top down manually, but it doesn't go all the way down because it has the wrong backseat.I think it still has hdtp side windows too. Dash and front door panels are descent driver quality, Check out the kph speedo ! When was the last time you saw one of these? Outside of the car looks good,( not perfect) It does have scratches here and there and a some imperfections. The door and fender gaps could have been tighter also. Bumpers could use a rechrome and the grill has a few small cracks near the tabs, like most of them do. Tail lights are nice. Driver and pass. windows are scratched too.
Motor is a non numbers matching 383 4bbl from a 1971 dodge pickup. Runs ok, but rear main leaks, needs possible clutch work, exhaust needs replaced. Brand new tires, 15x7 wheels in front and 15x8 in back. Rear is 3.91 non posi. Frame ties were also installedCheck out the pics, should help with a lot of questions. My reserve is set at half what it would cost to purchase a real convert in similar condition. In my honest opinion, I think if a person was to stick $3-4000 in this car you would have a nice e-body drop top driver. I hope I didn't make the car sound too bad, just want to be as honest as I coan. I have had a lot of people look at the car and cant believe it was converted. I wish I knew the complete history of this car. The only story I got was it was in Lebanon and was used as a wedding car. Not sure what that means, but the story should stay with the car. $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hrs. and the balance is due via money order or cashiers check within 7 days. If not vehicle will be relisted. I don't care to hear about a death in the family, or any bad circumstance in your life. I have enough grief of my own and don't want to add to it. Thank you. Also, I will be out of town from the 5th to the 8th of September. I also took a short video of the car running. If you would like to see this I can try and email it to you. I couldn't get it to load. Thanks PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE? IF YOU DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE BIDDING PLEASE DONT. CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION ANYTIME !!!!! On Aug-30-14 at 19:33:19 PDT, seller added the following information: Had a question about storage and shipping. I can store the car inside for a reasonable amount of time, but I would like to discuss the situation prior to the end of the auction. As far as shipping, I will assist in helping load the car on a transporter. Setting up the shipper and the cost of shipping will be the new owners responsibility if the reserve is met. Also like I said in description, I will be out of town from the 5th to the 8th of sept. So please don't wait till the last minute to ask questions. Thanks again |

Dodge Charger Pursuit nets quickest lap in police car test
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We wouldn't advocate trying to outrun the police, no matter what you're driving and no matter what they are. But if you see a Dodge Charger bearing down on you with blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror, you'd better think twice before attempting to flee, because the Charger Pursuit has once again emerged as the fastest police cruiser out there.
In the latest Police Vehicle Evaluation held by the Michigan State Police at Grattan Raceway, Dodge says its new Charger Pursuit AWD posted a lap time of 1:33.85. That's quicker than any of the other law enforcement vehicles present, but also makes it the quickest all-wheel-drive cruiser available to law-enforcement officials. That may not make it the quickest of all time, but that honor belongs to the rear-drive Dodge Charger Pursuit, which cuts a fraction of a second off its AWD counterpart's time with a 1:33.70. But in regions where the extra traction could come in handy, that's as negligible a difference as we've ever seen.
Of course, the annual PVE sessions held by the Michigan State Police take in to account a wide variety of performance tests, including top speed, acceleration, braking, handling, fuel economy and ergonomics. The MSP has yet to reveal its full findings from its 2014 model year tests, but we'll be sure to bring them to you when they are published.
Chrysler recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
