This is a fully loaded 1970 Charger!

 

Body- Car has new paint job that was done about a year ago.  Car has all original exterior body panels (only center trunk pan replaced).  Quarters, top, sail panels, floor boards, frame, rockers , etc, etc is all original and in excellent shape.   The car is very straight and looks great.  It is not an original FM3 pink car- however a complete color change was done.  All trim, bumpers, door handles, grille , taillights, etc were removed prior to paint.  Engine bay and trunk also painted without engine installed, so it was done right.   Grille and taillights along with tail panel in very nice condition. Grille has no cracks or breaks.  Original front bumper, rear has been replaced with a new bumper.  All stainless is original and in excellent shape. This car was stored for a very long time inside and all trim was near perfect. Has original very nice wheel lip mouldings, rocker moulding, drip rails, top of door stainless and also vinyl top trim. Marker lights are excellent with no pitting and nice chrome. Nice white vinyl top.  New hood pins as well. Headlights open and close like they should.

Interior-  All new interior including new carpet, seat covers, dash cap, door panels, trunk mat, headliner.  Original dash in nice shape.  Being an SE car it has woodgrain interior, including Woodgrain steering wheel, dash, and door panels.  The driver side seat has the rare and very cool, 70 only, Six way seat. The steering wheel no longer has a crack, it was changed out with another woodgrain wheel with no cracks.

Engine-  Has a rebuilt 383 magnum engine.  All new exterior accessories for reliability purposes.  The engine has less than 1000 miles on it and runs great.  New distributor, carb, starter, etc.  Motor is a stock rebuild with mild cam.  Has HP manifolds into new 2 1/2 full exhaust with tips out back. Motor is ready to drive and everything under the hood has been replaced.  Since everything was replaced the car has been driven about 40 miles.

Exhaust- Brand new 2 1/2 exhaust with stock turbo mufflers and tips out the back.  Will post pics of exhaust during auction.

Wheels/Tires-  Brand new 17x8 and 17x9.5 chrome "old school" wheels. Tires are brand new 245/45/17 up front and 255/50/17 rear. If buyer does not want the 17's, i do have a set of original rallye wheels with regular radial tires i could put on instead. Buyer's choice.  

Electrical- Lights, turn signals, hazards , dome light, headlights , etc all work as they should.  Has new engine harness.  Has new wiper motor as well.  Light bulbs were replaced.

Overall as you can see a lot has been done to the car to get into the condition you see below.  The car has a ton of new parts and is fully loaded with everything a Charger in 1970 could just about have.  Six way seat, woodgrain wheel, disc brakes, suregrip rear, hood pins, etc.  All the stuff people add to their cars this one already has!  The car was an A/C car from the factory. The only thing not hooked up currently is the radio.  Speakers are in the back, they just need wires from radio to speakers and you will have a radio if that is important to you.   Look around and try to find a 70 Charger in panther pink for sale, they are not out there.  Rare opportunity to own an affordable 70 charger with all the hard work done.  Get in and enjoy!

Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger

Sun, Dec 20 2020

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.

FCA updates 700k-vehicle recall to replace ignition switches

Mon, Mar 9 2015

FCA US is revising a previously announced recall of 702,578 minivans and SUVs; now specifying that owners replace their ignition switches, rather than just a component. The campaign affects the 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country, 2008-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan and 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration initially opened an investigation last summer following complaints about the ignition switches in these models. FCA US (then Chrysler Group) responded with a recall of 695,957 examples of these vehicles because the key could appear to be in the "Run" position but not be fully engaged. If it slipped out, and there was an accident, then the airbags might not deploy. The company had initially planned to install a new detent ring to fix the problem. According to the timeline in a NHTSA document (available here as a PDF), the government agency and FCA US continued their research into the problem. The automaker found that the time needed to create a new ring design and updated software would be longer than replacing the whole ignition switch. The company worked with the supplier Marquardt to negotiate an accelerated schedule to manufacture the extra replacement parts. According to NHTSA, the investigation has now been closed because of FCA's recall. Company spokesperson Eric Mayne confirms to Autoblog via email, "No additional vehicles are affected and all affected customers have already been made aware their vehicles are subject to recall." FCA US sent out an initial notification advising owners of the problem in September 2014. The company will now send out a second letter in April and will replace the parts in two phases. Repairs for affected models from the 2008 and 2009 model years will begin in April, and 2010 examples will start being fixed in August. RECALL Subject : Ignition Switch may Turn Off , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: JUN 26, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V373000 Component(s): AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 702,578 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 2008-2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2008-2010 DODGE JOURNEY 2009-2010 Details Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC SUMMARY: This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key.
