I am posting
this ad for a friend who does not own a computer. I am simply reporting the information as it
was given to me. You are welcome to call
the owner, Pat, at 217/485-5502 for honest answers to any questions you may
have. For sale is
a 1973 Dodge Challenger which has just undergone a complete, semi-professional restoration. It is not a professional, numbers matching
restoration, but essentially a hot rod.
It is solid and very fast. We
shot many pictures and a You Tube video to try to give you a clear
understanding of the car's features. This 1973
Dodge Challenger came from the factory with a 340 cubic inch engine and a four
speed transmission. A 440 cubic inch
magnum engine was installed in the 1980's.
The body has 69,508 miles on it but the engine has only 14,179. The car spent much of the intervening time in
storage and was pulled out recently for cleaning, priming, and trimming. The engine
is equipped with a high rise intake and an Edelbrock 650 carburetor. It utilizes a Jackson timing gear drive
rather than a timing chain and sounds like it is equipped with a blower. You can hear this for yourself in the You
Tube video. It is equipped with Accel
dual points and coil. Custom headers
dump into 2 1/2 inch pipes and turbo mufflers for a rich, nasty sound. The engine is equipped with dual oil filters
and a windage tray in the pan which keeps the oil from splashing. An electric fuel pump has been installed. There is no air conditioning. The transmission uses a Hurst 4 speed shifter
with a short throw and a short pistol grip.
A narrowed Ford Shelby Mustang rear end has been installed along with a
custom made stainless steel fuel tank.
There are drum brakes on all four corners. The tires are new: 14"x7" Brookstone in the front and
15"x8" Cooper Cobras in the rear.
The car was set up to be a street and strip legal dragster in the 80's. The car has
a fiberglass front clip including fenders, hood, and bumper. The body is solid with only some minor rust
through behind the rear wheelwells. We
took pictures of the area so you can see.
While Pat is an experienced metal man, he left this undone so you could
see exactly what the condition of the car is.
There is no rust in the floor, trunk, firewall, or doors. The underside of the car has never been
painted. The inside of the trunk has
been painted for cosmetic purposes. The
paint was stripped by hand to the original factory color and then sprayed with
PPG flat black 2-part epoxy primer/sealer.
Pat's intention was to prepare the car so the future owner could later
paint it the color of his or her choice. The original
interior has been cleaned and treated with Armorall. The front seats have some tears at the seams
but are otherwise clean and functional.
Seat covers for this car are relatively inexpensive. The rear seat has a small tear on the
side. The door panels are very good for
the age of the car. The car needs a headliner
and a new dash pad. All the instruments
and controls inside the car work. The
heater needs new hoses and the radio works but needs new speakers. As mentioned
above, you may see a video on youtube that a friend took with his cell
phone. Not a professional movie maker
but it will give you the idea, and you can call Pat at the number listed above
for further details. The video
can be found at: <a href="
http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMmqua-fzHQ">http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMmqua-fzHQ</a>. We will
require from the winner of the auction a $500 deposit within 2 days payable
thru paypal or a U.S. Postal money order.
If not received within 48 hours, the auction result will be
cancelled. Please make sure you have a
clear understanding of what you are bidding on by reading the description
carefully, studying the pictures and video, and talking with Pat about any
unanswered questions. Have fun and Good
Luck on your bidding. |

Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013To be honest, we're surprised something like this didn't pop up sooner. Chrysler is riffing on gift registries for couples getting married or expecting babies and cross-pollinating it with a social media funding website like Kickstarter to help customers buy its 2013 Dodge Dart. The Dodge Dart Registry allows people to build and customize a new Dart exactly how they want it, then let other people purchase some or all of the components as gifts.
The registry lets you add features like dark headlights, dual exhaust, various wheels and even interior options without choosing a specific trim level. This sounds a lot like the system Scion uses to let its customers configure cars, and this could be a great idea for Dodge. Of course, this system has the added benefit of being a social media affair for you to share with your friends... you know, so they can help pay for some of the parts, too.
The best thing about the registry is that you can configure your dream Dart from the comfort of your home computer, which strikes us as much better than walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond for the better part of an afternoon with an electronic scanner. The one thing that Dodge doesn't offer? "Thank You" cards. Those are on you.
Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
