The Body is refinished in its original R6 red paint including the interior floors, trunk floors, engine compartment, and complete undercarrage. The paint was sprayed in a brand new down draft heated paint booth. (I think this was the 5th car painted in the booth). Then almost fourty hours of color sanding and several stages of buffing. With a lot of cars on-line, the vehicles look better in pictures then in person. With this car, the pictures do not do it justice. This car must be seen in person to be appreciated. It was painted four years ago and in storage ever since.
The Interior compartment has a brand new carpet, new seat covers and foam, new headliner, door panels and trim, new seat belts, new console and trim, rechromed shifter, new sills and more. The insturment cluster has been restored by Auto Insturments. The guages were refinished and calabrated, the needles were bead blasted and repainted and the plastic chrome was refinsihed which all make this unit looking and functioning like new. This charger was radio delete so there is no stereo. All the window seals and gaskets have been replaced and all the window slides and felts are new also. All the glass was removed during painted and was buffed before reinstalling. The windshield (clear, not tinted) is new.
The undercarrage was sandblasted and refinished. It has three different types of primers were applied before it was base coat/clear coated in R6 red. The exhaust is reproduction. All the shocks are correct, suspension was restored to original as well as brakes, fuel lines, brake lines, bushings, emergency brake cables, body plugs, gas tank, sending unit, straps, ect.
The engine is a cast 1969 block. It is not matching numbers to the car. It has been completely rebuilt. It has the correct carter carburator, it has been rebuilt and rejetted to the cam card of the rebuilt kit used. Also the engine has the correct intake and exhaust manifolds, the correct water pump housing, the correct valve covers, the correct wiring with reproduction identication stickers wrapped around the them. The correct heater hoses, correct vacuum hoses for the hideaway headlights, the correct distributer and coil with the 2 of 69 build date. It has the correct battey cables with tags. There are reproduction enging compartment decals throughout. It has a standard battery with a battery topper on it. This 440 runs strong and smooth with only less then 100 miles on it since its rebuild. It has a crane cam and rollor rockers from the 440 souce. There is a new compition clutch behind it.
The transmission has been rebuilt and refinished. It is matching numbers aer original to the car.
The rear is a brand new unit from DTS drum to drum. The chrome diff cover ofcorse not correct, but that could easily be corrected by the new owner if so desired.
The wheels are magnum 500s which according to the build sheet are not correct. The car came with 14 inch steel wheels with hub caps from the factory with red line tires. We choose to use the 15 inch magnums with BF Goodrich radial red line tires for looks. This can also be easily swapped by the new owner.
The trunk compartment was also restored to original. The trunk floors are original and solid. The inside of the quarter panels were refinished body color, the jack was restored and repainted. The spare wears the same BF Goodrich red line tire thats on the other four wheels.
The brakes are all drum with is correct according to the build sheet.
The grill has been restored, there are no broken teeth in it. The headlight doors work properly as well.
I tried to cover everything. Please ask questions and come see the car for yourself in person. Vehicle is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early for the right offer.
There is a facebook page for this car simply called Charger Rt There are over 80 pictures ( all close ups ) As the days go by I will be posting more pics, mostly undercarrage. Click on the links below for the pictures.

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
Dodge could enter Peugeot's Le Mans-bound 9x8 hypercar in IMSA races
Wed, Jul 21 2021Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group merged under the Stellantis umbrella in early 2021 to achieve economies of scale, and this benefit could surprisingly extend to racing. Executives are debating whether to give Dodge its own version of Peugeot's recently-unveiled 9x8 hypercar to race in America, according to a recent report. "While we only heard [the new rules] confirmed a week ago, it has certainly led to some very open discussion, not only about whether Peugeot might add races in the United States, but also about whether the spine of this car might have opportunities with other brands in the Stellantis Group. There are no conclusions yet, but there are now open discussions," affirmed Jean-Marc Finot, the Senior Vice President of Stellantis, in an interview with Racer. His comments refer to an agreement signed in July 2021 by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). They chose to align their technical regulations to let manufacturers compete in different events on both sides of the pond without going through the resource-consuming process of developing a specific car for each series. As of writing, the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) and Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) categories fall under the newly-announced common set of rules. On the surface, this means Peugeot could enter its 9X8 (pictured) in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship as soon as the 2023 season. While this is seemingly under consideration, Peugeot has little to gain from winning a major race in the United States. It hasn't sold cars here since 1991, and its long-mooted comeback was canned after PSA merged with FCA. Giving a variant of the 9X8 to Dodge is a more credible possibility, according to Racer. If not Dodge, then who else? Chrysler hasn't been linked to racing or performance for decades. Jeep is no stranger to performance vehicles, but IMSA would be pushing it. Ram is Ram, while Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati are rooted in Europe. The rest of the Stellantis brands (like Opel, Lancia, and Citroen) are not distributed in America. Nothing is official, and the publication stressed it's unclear whether Dodge will commit part- or full-time to the series (assuming the program receives the green light). Finot underlined the parallel car would use the 9X8's "spine," so don't expect to see a Peugeot hypercar with a Dodge emblem driving flat-out on the Sebring International Raceway.
MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance
Fri, Feb 26 2016Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.
