Clairton, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is an amazing vehicle that you will have to see to believe! This awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge
Challenger. Nearly every nut and bolt is new- the car just went through a complete professional restoration. All rotted metal was cut out and
replaced, no bondo was used in the completely professional restoration. The car was just repainted in this dazzling Plum Crazy metallic paint, with black racing stripes down both sides
to really give it a really mean street racer look. New fiberglass hood with hood scoop,
new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, new
windshield.
Car was originally a 318 but was replaced with a
rebuilt 440 that has under 10,000 miles. Everything is else is new and has less
than 600 miles on it. Including a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift
kit and b&m quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a
rebuilt rear. New headers with a 3" flowmaster exhaust.
Rebuilt carb. New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling
fan. Chrome valve covers, alternator, pullies. Msd Ignition and
Distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder. New
front and rear sway bars. Also, both center headlights were removed and
replaced with a chromed out cold ram air system with dual air filters and you
really feel it when you step on the gas.
The interior is also completly redone. New
carpet, seat covers front and rear, grant steering wheel, headliner, custom
floor mats and a new dash pad. Blue led lighting added under seats and
dash. And blue led streetglow around the underneath side of car that
really lights up the road.
NOW THE NEGATIVES, and there aren't many.. -There is a
small chip in the paint on the MOLDING thats attached to the fender, not the
fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and you really dont even notice it,
can easily be fixed. All other paint is flawless and just about show
quality, no dents, no scratches. - Also, although the vinyl top is new it has
a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the drivers side seam is a tiny
wavy. -Fuel gauge is inoperative -Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected -Seat belts not installed
Other than these small thing the car is just about perfect, it
runs and shifts perfectly, and its got plenty of power. The reserve is
set very reasonably, i have over 40k into car, my loss is your gain. Good
luck On Nov-06-13 at 15:27:20 PST, seller added the following information:

Now a few negatives, and there aren't many. I believe in full disclosure and honesty. I do not want there to be any surprises. I am glad to point out any negatives because there are very few. They are not a big deal when considering how much hard earned cash has been recently put into this beauty! There is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the fender, not on the fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and unless it is pointed out, you probably will not even notice it at first look. All of the other paint is flawless and just about Show Quality: no dents, no scratches. The vinyl top is new. However, it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the driver’s side seam is slightly wavy. Fuel gauge is inoperative. Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected. Seat belts not installed. Other than these small items, the car is just about perfect. This monster runs and shifts perfectly, and it has plenty of power. The reserve
is set very reasonably. ------------------------> Over $40,000 has been spent on the restoration items detailed above! <------------------------ I am in a position where I need to sell this car. My loss is your gain. Good luck with your bidding- someone is about to get a steal on this amazing vehicle! |

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
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.
Hellcat no help to Fiat-Chrysler's bottom-of-the-pile mpg average
Wed, Oct 15 2014What, you expected the "fastest muscle car ever" to help fleetwide fuel economy? Nope, don't think that's going to happen. That means Fiat Chrysler will likely to continue to languish at the bottom of the heap when it comes to fleetwide fuel economy among the largest automakers serving the US, especially as the automaker starts to sell its Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A few hundred Fiat 500E electric vehicles aren't going to turn the trend around. See, Chrysler has once again finished at the bottom of the list when it came to fleetwide fuel economy among automakers for 2014 model-year vehicles, according to a preliminary study by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Chrysler and Fiat had an average of 21.1 miles per gallon. That substantially lagged the overall 24.2 mpg average, but it was an increase from the company's 20.9 mpg average last year and the 20.1 mpg average two years prior. For 2014, General Motors had the second-worst fleetwide fuel economy at an even 22 mpg. Fiat Chrysler does say it's working on improving its fuel economy, according to Automotive News. The company plans on making its inline-four-cylinder and V6 engines smaller, and will sell more vehicles with eight- and nine-speed transmissions. Heck, there's even a plug-in hybrid version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan in the works for late 2015, and the company can tout fuel-efficiency gains with the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Cherokee. We would be remiss if we didn't note that, compared to its muscle-car forefathers, the Hellcat actually performs pretty well at the pump. Last month, word got out that the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, equipped either with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission, got a combined fuel economy of 16 mpg. Heck, the automatic-tranny version got 22 mpg on the highway. And that's for a car with 707 horsepower and a 10-second quarter-mile time. Still, with the pedal floored, the car can burn a gallon and a half of fuel per minute. Ouch.
