1970 Dodge Charger Texas Car Needs Restoration Very Solid on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:999999 Color: sail panels
Location:

This 1970 Dodge Charger needs a complete restoration.  It has been apart for probably 15 years or longer.  I bought the car from a mechanic who had planned to rebuild the car someday.  All that was done was the unibody was blasted.  All of the remaining metal and parts were stored in an AC garage or attic for many years.  Rust was not an issue for these parts.  As a result the original padding, metal and all other components looks to be in pretty good shape.  Some metal that will need to be replaced: The trunk pan will need to be replaced, exterior sail panels (around rear window), lower rear quarters.  It needs the normal metal work for a Charger or mopar from Texas.

The Unibody has already been blasted so that all rust holes are visible.  The unibody currently has a temporary protective coating which was applied after it was blasted.  The Charger is originally a 318 manual transmission(D31) car.  You will get an manual transmission with the car as well as a 318 engine and automatic which are currently bolted together.  The Charger does have the original fender tag.  I have many parts with this Charger.  It is an AC car.  All that I have regarding the AC is the AC/ Heater Box. I do not have the rear end for the car.  I am giving both automatic and manual transmission with the car because of this.  The manual transmission has a 18 spline shaft.  The charger has a 4 speed floor console, the doors retain their door glass.  I have buckets of parts for this car.  The grill looks to be in very good shape too! Please see the photos for more details on the parts and the car.

This is a great Charger to build your Clone 440 RT or Clone Hemi RT.  It is very solid for a restoration project!  I have built many B and E body mopars and if I wanted to build a clone, I would use this car!

If you are interested in this Dodge Charger I recommend seeing it before you bid.  If you would like to see the car call and set an appointment.  For any questions or appointments you can call 972.742.8191.

Please note, I have described this ad to the best of my ability.  This vehicle is sold as is where is no warranty implied.

Thanks.

 After further research, although I have the fender tag and the transmission number listed in this ad, I wanted to correct myself.  D31 looks to be an automatic 904 transmission.  So this car would have been an automatic car.

Experience the Woodward Dream Cruise in a Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Thu, Aug 20 2015

While Autoblog was consumed by coverage of the increasingly important Monterey Car Week last weekend, there was another big even going on. The Woodward Dream Cruise is significantly lighter in terms of news, but there's no denying that it's a far bigger, and far more egalitarian than what the wine-and-cheese crowd experience on the links at Pebble Beach. The Dream Cruise crams tens of thousands of cars and over a million spectators along a four-lane ribbon of asphalt between Ferndale and Pontiac, MI. What's remarkable aren't these numbers, though, so much as the distances they travel. Owners and admirers come from far and wide, across the United States and in some cases across the globe, to take in the spectacle. This year, local radio and television coverage featured fans that traveled from Japan, Australia, and Europe, just to take in the cruise. Of course, we realize that not everyone can make the pilgrimage to Woodward Avenue. With that fact in mind, we decided to bring a bit of the Dream Cruise to Autoblog with a time-lapse video of the cruise route. You can experience the good (a Lamborghini Gallardo, Chevrolet Chevelle, and Oldsmobile Cutlass 442), the bad (the traffic jams), and the ugly (no, your 2003 Ford Focus does not qualify as a classic, get the hell out of the cruiser lanes). So join us, as we turn off 8 Mile Road behind the wheel of our 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and run north, through Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Huntington Woods, Berkley, Bloomfield Township, and Bloomfield Hills, before ending up on Wide Track Drive in Pontiac.

Defiance Dodge Charger, saving Earth from aliens isn't clean work [w/video]

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

You'll be forgiven for not having heard about the TV show Defiance - it actually hasn't aired its first episode yet. The new science fiction show about an alien war against Earth in the near future seems like a perfect fit for the SyFy channel, and, apparently one that Dodge saw as a slick marketing opportunity for its Charger sedan.
Here in Chicago, Dodge has given a large corner of its show stand to the Defiance Charger, a car that won't be skipped by any Mad Max fans in attendance at this year's show. The Charger boasts one hell of a gnarly patina under a confusingly welded cage of tube steel, as well as window bars, a grille guard in front, and big, knobby truck tires. There aren't any obvious guns or turrets on the outside of the vehicle, so we can only hope that the characters driving it go well-armed.
Look for the Charger to make its star turn in Defiance when the series premieres on SyFy on April 15 at 9:00 PM EST. Also, there's said to be a Defiance video game in the works, too, so you may get a chance to steer the burly Dodge for yourself. Find a trailer for the show, below, as well.

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.
