Rare California Emissions matching numbers, original build sheet in hand, 1974 Dodge Challenger Muscle Car.

This is a pretty much unmolested car free from body panel replacements and even the fender bolts have never been loosened. This has the original 318 V8 motor with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and carburetor. It has a set of ceramic-coated headers, and HEI ignition. It is an original AC car with power brakes, power steering, and floor shift with console. It has tinted windows, new carpet, Alpine CD, custom pin striping, all new front suspension, and show chrome plated original bumpers.

This car was purchased from the original owner who bought this from Kearny Mesa Dodge in 1974. They drove it for years before replacing it, and then parking it in the garage where it sat for years.  The car's motor was later rebuilt their adult child, and then I purchased it. The car was in great original condition but needed TLC to make it the daily drive it is now.  Interior is 2 months old and never sat on.  Engine and transmission was removed, detailed, and reinstalled.  Front suspension inludes all new ball joints, bushings, shocks, and alignment. This is an exceptionally rust free car visible underneath. All the body panels are original rust free sunny Southern California condition.

The car was originally light blue before recently painted House of Kolor Burple. Interior was blue changed to black. A newly installed big tube Magna Flow exhaust makes this car sound and run great. 19" Boss wheels have been installed but I have the original sport wheels that are included in this sale. Turn key and cruise away. This car will not depreciate like other cars, this car will continue to appreciate in value.  We need the room, and all bikes and cars will be sold.

I have pictures of the car in its original color for serious buyers.  Copy of original build sheet is pictured.

No need for restoration, this car is in great running original condition and ready to drive. I may consider partial trade or trade.

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
