For sale is my 1973 Dodge Challenger. The car was a project intended for a big block swap but having too many projects dictates a sale. This car is being sold as a rolling chassis, less engine and transmission, but will include many parts to complete an installation. Originally this car was equipped with a 318/904 Engine and transmission combo but it would be very easy to drop in an engine combination of the buyer's choosing, given the parts included.

Some features about the car:

* Disc front brakes

* Power steering

* All glass is intact and in good shape.

* All trim pieces, lighting, etc is intact and in decent shape.

* Rallye Hood

* 8 3/4" Rear end, 3.23 Ratio

* Center console shift Slapstick shifter mechanism with nice handle.

* V8 K-frame

* Complete interior, however, the plastic panels are faded and could use a dying, Factory color-coded interior dye is included.

* New Legendary Interiors replacement blue seat covers on the front, the rear seat is original and in good shape.

* Two rear valances (one has dual exhaust cutouts, one does not)

* The inside of the car is currently LOADED with boxes of spare parts. (Grille trim, random stainless pieces, interior trim, headlight trim, nice seatbelts, window cranks, driveshaft for 318/904, Challenger-specific rectangular exhaust tips, etc)

* Brand new 26" Big Block radiator in the box inside the car.

What this car is, is a decent, buildable chassis that is most importantly complete with the associated interior parts, good glass, and associated trim pieces. (minus drivetrain, obviously)

The body of the car is in fair condition, but it's obviously a car that's over 40 years old and needs some attention, so please take a good look at the photos detailing the condition. The car has decent floors, and is a good candidate to fix up and make a fun driver. The fenders are aftermarket fg ones. There are some bubbles in the paint on the hood due to a tarp trapping moisture and there is some rust forming around the lower body which is typical of these cars. The drivers front frame rail needs patched or replaced (passenger side appears fine), this is a ~$300 part and wasn't a big deal to me considering I had intended on welding in sub-frame connectors regardless to support the power of a big block in this chassis. I've included pics showing these flaws.

Any prospective buyer is encouraged to inspect the car in person or ask me any questions prior to purchase. This car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell. If Buy-It-Now is used, the purchaser will also receive a set of Hedman headers for a big block E-body, and two Big block 727 transmissions with other parts to finish a drivetrain swap.

Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'd forgotten about them as a 10th grader.
That's the V8-powered 2015 Dodge Challenger. It arrived on the scene with a max of 425 horsepower and a bit of a weight problem. It completed its proverbial freshman year with a nice 2011 refresh, where the SRT8 was bumped up to 470 hp, but it still had some work to do.
Enter 2015, and fresh off three months of constant burpees and wind sprints, the newest Challenger is as big and powerful as it's ever been, but it's now got poise and potential, and my goodness, it's fun in a way that Dodge's muscle car has never been.
