This is a real 1970 Dodge Charger R/T 440 (U Code), automatic (727) barn find car.
Factory Rallye red (FE5) with black vinyl interior, black vinyl roof and factory stripe(s) delete...super cool color combo on the last of the great Chargers.
Magnum 500 wheels, 8.75 rear (non SureGrip), console floor shift, buckets, tic toc tac, 150 speedo dash.
This car is 100% original & all #'s matching (Dash vin, door sticker, body vin stamps, motor vin, tranny vin, fender tag & super clean build sheet....even copy of original owner's title - it's all there!)
1 of 7,131 R/T 440-4 automatic cars built - while the #'s for FE5 cars is not clear, the fact is very few of them probably aren't left unmolested these days.
The car is wearing all it's original body panels, interior & drive train. The interior is still good driver condition except the driver's seat has some rips & console is cracked in back.
This car has had some recent work done to it in preparation for a light resto that didn't happen:
New distributor
New fuel tank & straps
New battery
New brakes & master cylinder
Cleaned up carb & the car now runs & drives great after sitting for 25 years~.....no oil dripping OR smoking :)
However, the car isn't mint & definitely needs attention:
Rear quarter panels have rust
Rear floor pans have some rust
Rear valence is rusty
Sail panel has some rust around back window
Trunk gutters have rust
Front floors have some rust - patching at the least (possibly new pans?)
The worst parts of the car are the front drivers side frame rail (old battery leaked from sitting down onto the rail & it's very soft all the way back to the drivers floor board) AND the trunk pan - it's basically gone.
This car can either be a full blown tear down resto trailer queen OR repair as you go driver (assuming you fix the rail 1st at the very least)
But it definitely runs & drives fine now.
This car is stored in GA & it's a non-title state meaning the car is registered & will be sold with a bill of sale + current GA registration from seller. If you're a title state - this paperwork will get you one in your state.
Copy of original owner title, build sheet & fender tag are included.
The build sheet calls for this car as an EXPORT (likely ordered out of the states by military).
Own a super cool Mopar Muscle car that is factory correct from the air cleaner to rims!
Reserve is set & won't be disclosed...if you want to make a strong offer (be serious & make one) otherwise once the bidding/reserve is met -- this car will be selling here until the auction ENDS. Good luck & if you need anymore information - ask.
Local bidders are welcome to see the car.

Dodge Viper now available in matte finish
Tue, Jun 23 2015The prospect of buying a new Dodge Viper just got that much more enticing with the introduction of matte-finish paint direct from the factory. Available as part of the "1 of 1" customization program, the matte finishes aren't being offered in just a handful of colors like some other automakers do: customers will be able to specify a matte finish on any of the 8,000 colors that are already part of the program's palette. The matte finish option adds yet another step to the exhaustive hand-painting process that Dodge offers on the Viper - a painstaking endeavor that takes upwards of 145 man hours to complete. Specialists start by applying a base coat and a clear finish, followed by the paint and clear coat. The finished body panels are then smoothed with 1,000-grit paper and polished. A second sanding process is required for the matte finish before the application of a matte clear coat. Specify custom stripes (available in five colors or by custom order) and they're applied under the paint, not as decals on top. The availability of the matte finish in conjunction with the stripe options and new satin badging and fuel cap leads to over 50 million combinations. Needless to say, that means no two Vipers need ever leave the Conner Avenue assembly plant the same – though there will surely always be certain favorite combinations, especially on those units ordered from outside the customization program.

NHTSA closes investigation on 4.7M FCA power modules, no recall
Thu, Jul 30 2015FCA US hasn't had the best time with recalls as of late. Not only did the company recently agree to greater safety oversight and paid $105 million to the government, that came just days after hacking fears prompted a 1.4-million model recall campaign. However, a recent decision to close an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration means that the automaker doesn't have to worry about another major recall possibly affecting 4.7 million vehicles, according to the agency's report (as a PDF). Last September, the Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to investigate an alleged problem with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on these FCA US models. The group claimed that a fault with the component could cause a variety of maladies, including stalls, not starting, catching fire, unintended acceleration, and airbag non-deployment. At the time, it also submitted 70 cases where this had reportedly happened. According to NHTSA, "no valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components." The agency did find signs of an issue with the fuel pump relay in some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos, but FCA US issued recalls for the problem in September 2014 and February 2015. Without anything else to go on, the Feds don't think it's worth investigating this topic any more.
