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! |

Dodge to reveal Hellcat-powered Challenger in Detroit?
Fri, 10 Jan 2014On top of all the other performance car debuts slated for next week's Detroit Auto Show, we might be able to add one more to the list - the new, supercharged Hellcat V8 from Chrysler. According to new reports, the rumored 640-horsepower mill is likely to cross the Motor City stage in the engine bay of a Dodge Challenger.
As AllPar points out, though, there may be more news than just the fire-breathing engine. While we've seen spy photos of the Hellcat testing under the hood of the current Challenger, there's a very fair chance that it won't arrive until the muscle car is refreshed later this year. The question now is whether that refresh will be shown off alongside the new engine in Detroit, or if it'll be saved, perhaps for the New York Auto Show.
Other details dug up by AllPar include potential transmissions for the supercharged engine - the Mopar-minded site is expecting an eight-speed automatic or a Tremec six-speed manual. Prices, meanwhile, could be in the same elevated range as the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, at $70,000 to $80,000.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
