1970 Dodge Charger 500 Hardtop 2-door 6.5l on 2040-cars
|
1970 dodge charger 500, great restoration project I bought this car to restore. I just bought a numbers matching 70 R/T charger so I have to let this one go.
It was a 318 car originally and now has a healthy 400 in it. This is a very easy engine to stroke up to 500 or 512. Engine runs good and has headers already and does not smoke, was an a/c car but the components are missing from under the hood and dash. Transmission it came with was a 727 which was removed as it wasn't salvageable. So it was and is easily a running car, I drove it 1,000 miles when I bought it last year but will need a transmission of whatever flavor you want to put in it. Very solid body with nice frame rails, floor pans are so-so, trunk pan was done in fiberglass by someone, it's functional, roof is solid, bottom of back window is solid, solid fenders, solid doors, may need some quarter patches as it has rust and bondo in the quarters as usual. Was originally a vinyl roof car and those trims are present. Burnt orange metallic car with matching interior. They spray canned the car a matte black and added centerline mags as a Fast-n-furious type look I suppose. Windows are all present and work, they had been tinted very dark. fender tag is missing, but unless you are going for a return to 'as-built' condition you won't miss it. Dash gauges are all present and worked but were not calibrated properly. Dash itself is in pretty good condition and that's good as that tends to be an expensive part. Interior is original interior minus a headliner. Car ran and drove good but not sure if I would trust it on a long trip as it's biggest issue is wiring or lack of good wiring by previous owners. I have purchased a Ron Francis complete wiring kit for this car which can be included if the winning bidder wants to add it in for $400. Power drum brake car and the booster needs a new membrane as they don't have power but are manual drums right now. Overall a solid car that presents well even in this condition. I gauge it as about a medium resto project. A lot of detail work if you're going for an as stock restoration. If you are just building up a street prowling Mopar than a lot of the work can be even easier as you're not confined by concourse standards. Would make an excellent build for someone who has a little time to create a nice racer or pro street style Charger. Or just throw in a transmission, better wiring harness and a new brake booster and drive as is! Being a 318 car originally you can build it up or clone it into an R/T without altering one of the very valuable cars. The Car has a good street look and it can be built up to be a nasty street car or drag car. As I have several other cars to rebuild I need the money elsewhere. I was not going to sell this car but there's no sense in keeping it now that I have a fully restored R/T. |

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Every 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.
Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat in the works
Fri, 25 Jul 2014In Autoblog's recent First Drive of the 2015 Challenger SRT with the 707-horsepower Hellcat V8 we found its engine to be as brutally powerful as the numbers would suggest, even if it wasn't the best handler. However, the muscle-car-styling just isn't right for some buyers that need four doors and proper rear seats to haul around the family. It appears that Dodge has their backs, though, because the Hellcat is very likely on its way into the Charger in the near future. Imagine the looks on your passengers' faces when you stomp down on the throttle.
According to Road and Track, when Dodge submitted the Hellcat for engine power certification to the Society of Automotive Engineers, the company included the Charger on the paperwork. That showed that the automaker wanted the engine checked out for the sedan, too. R&T reckons the 707-hp Charger would hit the road about a year from now, clearing the Challenger for a year of exclusivity with the powerplant.
When the Charger SRT Hellcat does hit the road, it may carry a very special accolade. Assuming nothing beats it in the meantime, it might be the world's highest horsepower production sedan. Think on that for a second. Even a Mercedes S65 AMG only has 621 horsepower, though a good bit more torque at 738 pound-feet to the Dodge's 650 lb-ft. So while the beastly engine is getting put into other models, where else would you like to see it? The Ram? Grand Cherokee? Let us know in Comments.
2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
