1974 Dodge Challenger (not 1970,1971,1972,1973) on 2040-cars
Clairton, Pennsylvania, United States

Up for sale is this awesome 1974
Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger. This car just went through a complete professional
restoration, and nearly every nut and bolt is new. All rotted metal was cut out
and replaced, no bondo was used on this ride. The car was just repainted, in awesome Plum Crazy metallic paint. New fiberglass hood, with hood scoop,
new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, and
new windshield.
Car was originally a 318, but was
replaced with a rebuilt 440, that has under 10,000 miles. Everything else is
new and has less than 200 miles, 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 and 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 completely
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, which are basically insignificant when compared to all of the new items on this restored classic. The windshield wipers have
stopped working. I just found out that it is an electrical issue that may
possibly be corrected soon. Also, the fuel gauge does not work. The rods in the
doors are not connected to the key locks, so it can not be locked from the
outside- only from the inside. So there are a few little things
that need to be fixed, but for what this car will be used for, they do not need
to be fixed immediately to enjoy the car. A hose going to the steering box has
a very small leak- I am currently working on fixing this issue. All of the minor issues listed
above are accounted for in the reserve price.
-As you can see in these pictures,
there is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the
fender, not the fender. The chip is slightly touched up to the point that it is barely noticeable. 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. You will have to
look very closely to even notice.
The reserve is set very reasonably.
I have done my very best to list even the smallest issues, so there will be
absolutely no surprises when you view the car. I purchased this vehicle mid-way
through the summer last year. Since that
time, my financial situation has changed. Over 40k has been spent to rebuild the
car. Getting divorced last year has really sent my finances for a loop! I need
to part with some things I really enjoy, but do not need to survive. My
loss is your gain. Good luck! |

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
Amazon opens contest for The Grand Tour tickets in the US
Thu, Jul 7 2016British enthusiasts already had the opportunity to win tickets to the first taping of The Grand Tour, and now Amazon has opened up a similar chance for customers in the US. In celebration of Prime Day, which starts today, customers in the US can enter The Grand Tour Prime Day Prize Draw. The prize includes travel, $200 to spend, accommodation, and a meet and greet with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Customers that are interested fulfilling a childhood dream should visit Amazon's website and fill out the entry form soon as the draw closes on July 12. The Grand Tour will launch this fall as an exclusive for Amazon Prime members with the exact city locations for studio records set to be revealed later this summer. Amazon, however, did reveal that the trio will host shows in the UK, US, and Germany. So there's no need to get too upset if you don't win the draw. With Top Gear getting a major shakeup with the departure of Chris Evans, we're itching to see Clarkson, Hammond, and May behind the wheel of cars again. The trio, it seems, is also excited to get the new show rolling as Clarkson posted a drifty video on his Facebook page. The trio are currently in Italy filming a comparison between an Aston Martin DB11, a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and Rolls-Royce Dawn. The five-second clip has the Challenger Hellcat and DB11 drifting head-on into the camera crew, which is behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
