1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible 440 Six Pack Mopar Cuda Plymouth A-c Air Rare on 2040-cars
Pottstown, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Over the past 30+ years of selling cars this by far is my favorite..It started out as a 318 automatic challenger convertible, have 2 factory build sheets to go along with the car. It was owned for a long time owner in North Carolina for many years before it was purchased back in 2007 when the restoration of the car took off. I will tell you that a Dodge mechanic of 20+ years owned and restored this vehicle to the condition it is in now. He searched a long time for a solid e-body to build his dream car and after years of looking at over 30 cars he had finally found this solid Challenger.
This car was taken down as far as you can go with and started back from the ground up. It is about 95% done now and is by far and away the best E body I have driven in, ever. The car now sports a period correct 440-6 pack motor that has some work done to push the horse power level to a estimated 450 or so. The car looks to be all stock but when you here it through the 3" TTI exhaust and those factory tips you know it has a bit more the a stock 375 horsepower back in the day. So, the motor, trans and rear have less then a 1000 miles on it since the car was 95% finished in 2010. The trans has a small 2600 stall speed converter and the rear is redone with a 3.91 posi rear. The car has factory Air condition that works and you can see the air filter was notched out in the front to help clear the A-C. It has a 1" spacer to lift the carbs up a little to clear for the a-c, the fuel tank, lines, brake lines, hoses, wheel cylinders and so on are all new back in 2010 also. The car still has the Original white top with no tears and he decided to leave that top on. It will come with a new white top in the box with a new rear window (have the original glass window on the car), it will also come with the white side RT stripes and RT hood logo in white..I decided not to put these on and will let the new owner decide if they want them on..As you can see in the pictures the floors, behind the door panels, everything was painted and cleared coated with no short cuts taken..I wont even tell you how much this paint job cost, lets say it was over $10,000.. I will add a video tonight sometime when I can so you can get a true look at this car and hear it run. Open to offers to close the auction at anytime, as you can see in pictures this car is a one of a kind..I drove this car 30 miles from work and was stopped 3 times while I was driving to be asked all kind of questions. I am sure I am forgetting a few things but I will add more information later so please look again so you can watch the video and read more about it. I have the 71 wood steering wheel also to go with the car, am radio was just set in the hole for pictures, will try and get mounted before the end of the auction.. Paint is a 9.8 out of 10, body 100% perfect, interior is 90% done still has the original front and rear seat covers, has the original dash with a small 1 in crack ( hard to see) just a awesome car..If it does not sell I will be adding the stripes on it and driving it for the summer time..No need to sell..But a must have for a collector.. .Do not miss this one guys - gals.. Front end suspension all redone, front and rear sway bars, the rear springs were new all done in 2010..This car is a must see..The sun was not out in most of these pictures so if you want better pictures I have some on my cell phone I can text or email you more. Do not lose out on this car, you will never see another one with the color contrast of the Green and White interior like this...Thank you. I recently did new weather stripping on the doors, the door and window moldings, door sill plates, sun visors, the spare is a nos unit, and canister is a re-pop, new seat backs for the buckets, new trunk mat is on the way also, car was done right..Very little to do.. Car comes with New top if you wanted to put it on, how many left with the original top and rear glass, and original windshield? Needs just the rear convertible panels repainted ( called just dashes to do but did not want to wait 12 weeks ) speedo cable just broke, am radio hooked up, that's it..Wont find a nicer one..One of One color combo...White stripes come with the car.. Will entertain all serious offers as the car can be sold locally.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPW94nh4qDg There are 2 videos..1 here and 1 on the bottom. : To answer a few questions...The original color was dark green, of course it was taken all the way down and painted and every inch of the car was repainted and cleared. I just updated 2 pictures outside in the Sun for a better idea how this car shines and the color really pops in the Sun. The pictures do not do this car any justice, it is a must see in person. I have sold alot of cars here, hemi's and 440-6 cuda, Gto Conv, 70 Rebel Machine with 11,000 original miles, this car hands down is the nicest one to date. You tube videos...

Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of
Thu, 25 Apr 2013In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."
Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
Dodge performance trio thrashed on Roadkill
Tue, Apr 14 2015Of all the shows that Motor Trend does, Roadkill is probably the last one we'd pick to evaluate the latest performance automobiles. That's not a slight against David Freiburger or Mike Finnegan, who host the show: they're certified gear-heads and the go-to guys when it comes to hot rods, rat rods and anything grungier than it is shiny. But as exemplary as they are of Detroit muscle, the Charger Hellcat, Challenger Hellcat and Viper are also shiny new pieces of metal. Still, since it will now be sponsoring the show, someone at Dodge apparently thought it would be a good idea to hand Freiburger and Finnegan the keys to the company's top performance models. So to ring the best out of them, they solicited help from some of their colleagues at MT, gained access to a closed-down air strip, devised as many ways as they could to destroy the tires, and proceeded to set about doing exactly that. Watch the grin-inducing mayhem unfold in the half-hour clip above. Related Video:
