71 Challenger 340 Convertible. This car is a great driver that you can take anywhere and it is enjoyable to drive. I have the original Numbers matching 340 currently sitting on an engine stand, it runs great! The only reason I took it out was because I took the car on the Power Tour and I did not want to worry about anything happening to the original engine. The engine that is currently in the car is a 70 340 that is bored .040 over and built to stock 70 specs with Powerjection III fuel injection setup on a Weiand Stealth intake. It has stock manifolds and TTI 2 1/2" Xpipe exhaust with Dynomax VT mufflers. It has working factory air conditioning that has been retrofitted with R-134a. The original radiator has been redone as a 4 core so even when you sit for hours in traffic in 100+ weather with the AC on there are no overheating issues.

When I bought the car it didn't have the original 727 with it so I took it out and replaced it with a Keisler automatic overdrive. The transmission works perfectly and even has a switch for an A and B calibration, one has smooth shifts and the other has much more firm shifting and higher shift points. With the original 3.55 sure-grip and 275/60/15 rear tires overdrive cruising at 70 mph is 2100 rpm and gets 20+ mpg.

The Steering box and pump were rebuilt by Firm Feel to there stage 2 setup, this summer I replaced all 4 shocks with KYB Gas-A-Just shocks, all new ball joints, tie rod ends, and had it aligned. It has the HD Rear suspension with both front and rear factory sway bars. Power brakes with front disc and rear drum, I just put on new front pads and calipers and turned the rotors and the rears have new shoes and freshly turned drums.

The factory color was GA4 Light Gunmetal with black side stripes. The spoilers on the car are original take offs from a Challenger TA, and the side scoops are original pot metal pieces from a RT. This is an older restoration, while it still looks good it has a few places where it is beginning to show its age. The seam behind the doors where the rockers meet the quarters is starting to swell up underneath the paint and I have noticed a few small bubbles on the lower area of the drivers door starting to show up. Also there is the typical E Body convertible crack in the panel in front of the trunk by the hinges. I know the floor pan has a patch in the drivers footwell and behind the passenger seat, also there is a patch in the trunk. The lower rear quarters were replaced when they painted the car, you can see the seam from inside the trunk.

The interior still has the original 3 speaker dash which is in great condition with just one very small crack at the corner of the center speaker. The seats are all in really nice condition and I believe that they may be the original seat covers also. It has Rallye Gauges that have been updated with the solid state voltage limiter, electronic tach board, and quartz clock from Real Time Engineering.

If you are interested in the car with the Original Numbers matching engine and a 727 transmission instead of the A41 and Fuel Injected 340 let me know and we should be able to work something out. Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions! Car is sold as is. Buyer is responsible for shipping, I am willing to assist with loading. If possible, I recommend viewing the car in person and please ask any questions before bidding. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Custom 2014 Dodge Durango R/T proves SEMA can be subtle

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

The annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas can often be a sensory overload of overwrought madness, with cars that don't even look drivable anymore. But every once in a while, a modestly modified show car graces our presence, like the customized Dodge Durango you see here, which, in addition to giving us our first glimpse at the aftermarket possibilities for the refreshed-for-2014 model, proves that a car doesn't have to be slammed, scooped, donked and Lambo-doored to have presence.
Sure, this Durango has custom hood inserts, dark 22-inch wheels and custom fender flares, but as far as external modifications go, that's it. Inside, Dodge has fitted new door sill guards, an ambient lighting kit, bright pedals, premium floor mats and - of course - Katzkin leather. The automaker has even added wireless internet connectivity as part of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system.
Performance upgrades are minimal on this Durango R/T, which comes packed with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Larger brakes have been fitted, as have lowering springs (though it certainly doesn't look that much lower) and a custom exhaust.

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat in the works

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

In Autoblog's recent First Drive of the 2015 Challenger SRT with the 707-horsepower Hellcat V8 we found its engine to be as brutally powerful as the numbers would suggest, even if it wasn't the best handler. However, the muscle-car-styling just isn't right for some buyers that need four doors and proper rear seats to haul around the family. It appears that Dodge has their backs, though, because the Hellcat is very likely on its way into the Charger in the near future. Imagine the looks on your passengers' faces when you stomp down on the throttle.
According to Road and Track, when Dodge submitted the Hellcat for engine power certification to the Society of Automotive Engineers, the company included the Charger on the paperwork. That showed that the automaker wanted the engine checked out for the sedan, too. R&T reckons the 707-hp Charger would hit the road about a year from now, clearing the Challenger for a year of exclusivity with the powerplant.
When the Charger SRT Hellcat does hit the road, it may carry a very special accolade. Assuming nothing beats it in the meantime, it might be the world's highest horsepower production sedan. Think on that for a second. Even a Mercedes S65 AMG only has 621 horsepower, though a good bit more torque at 738 pound-feet to the Dodge's 650 lb-ft. So while the beastly engine is getting put into other models, where else would you like to see it? The Ram? Grand Cherokee? Let us know in Comments.
