This is a one family owned low mileage car in very good condition for it's age. 318/auto a/c manual brakes. Pass. 1/4 was replaced in 1989 after an accident but looks to be done well. The entire car was repainted at that time.The floors are solid, but have surface rust as shown in the pics. The pics make it look worse than it is. The floors do not need replaced. The trunk floor has some minor surface rust, but appears to be useable with some sandblasting or ? The drivers lower rear 1/4 has some small bubbles and may need a patch, but the rest or the car is VERY solid. Minor surface rust at rear corners of rear window. I asked a Body man if they needed cut out and he said no way, just spot blast, still very solid. The glass is nice with no cracks or chips. The doors close nicely with no sag, confirming the low milage. The subframes are excellent inside and out. The suspension parts are very restorable with only a light dusting of rust, no nasty rust. Lower ball joints do need replaced, but if I were keeping the car, I would replace all the wearable items, They are 45 years old after all. The engine runs smooth and quiet after rebuilding the carb, and installing electronic ignition and new cap and rotor(Pertronix) The brakes were bled and a new master cylinder was installed. The inside of the gas tank is spottless as is the sending unit. The car sat in a garage since 1995, but we now have it running and driving. However, I would not drive it across the country just yet.The a/c comes on but is not cold. There are no visible signs of leaking , so it may just need a charge. The seats and headliner have some weak seams but are all there. The dash pad is nice but has a small crack on the bottom pass side not visible in the pics. The car is not missing any trim and all the stainless is nice.The car still needs some tlc but is an excellent start. I would love to keep it, but my son is heading to college and I can't have two toys. These cars are getting very hard to find in this condition, and you will not be disappointed. I cannot stress enough how good the overall condition is. Thanks for reading the long description.

Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The reborn Dodge Challenger might be getting a bit long in the tooth, having been on the market in its current form since 2008, but Chrysler isn't going to give up on its brutish, full-size two-door just yet. For this year's SEMA Show, the Challenger will be getting a new Mopar edition, as well as a retro-cool shaker hood on the 5.7-liter, Hemi-equipped R/T models.
As we mentioned last night, the Shaker Package will cost $2,500, but includes the Super Track Pak (new steering rack, brake linings, upgraded shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires), a $595 option on its own. The shaker hood result in a performance bump of any kind, but the blacked-out, pop-up scoop is a nifty feature that hasn't been seen on a production car since the Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the early 2000s.
The Mopar '14 Challenger (pictured right) follows the cues of previous Mopar Editions, which have included the 2010 Challenger, 2011 Charger, 2012 300 and 2013 Dart. Only 100 Mopar '14 Challengers will be produced, and they'll include the new shaker hood, Mopar's distinctive blue graphics and wheels, and whatever is pilfered from the accessory catalog.
2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Enamored of the Dodge Challenger but wish you could get one with a shaker hood? We've got good news, because Dodge and Mopar have teamed up to bring it back.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker packs the same 5.7-liter Hemi V8 as the standard Challenger R/T, but upgrades the business end with a through-the-hood exposed cold-air intake system. The retro hood scoop protrudes from the center of the hood in satin black (matching the decklid spoiler) to feed the Hemi and shakes with the engine just like the original from 1970. The Shaker model also comes with a Super Track Pak that adds a new steering rack, brake linings, shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car rubber. You can also shut off the stability management system completely in this car. A series of interior and exterior trim enhancements round out the look. The whole package adds $2,500 to the price of a Challenger R/T Classic for an all-in MSRP of $36,995.
In case that's not enough, Dodge is also offering a limited-edition Mopar Challenger that follows the 2010 Mopar Challenger, 2011 Mopar Charger, 2012 Mopar 300 and 2013 Mopar Dart. Limited to just 100 examples, the 2014 Mopar Challenger gets the same Shaker hood intake, unique graphics and wheels, an enhanced interior and a long list of optional extras from the Mopar parts catalog. Dodge isn't saying just yet how much the Mopar Challenger will cost, but you can bet it will command a considerable premium for the exclusivity alone.
Watch this Dodge Viper get clawed to death
Tue, 07 Jan 2014There's a scene in the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig's Agent 007 is captured by villain Le Chiffre, played by Mads Mikkelsen. Le Chiffre tortures Bond in a scene that is rather difficult to watch (especially for blokes) and impossible to describe on these digital pages (Google at your own risk). This video is the automotive equivalent of the Casino Royale torture scene.
It shows a Dodge Viper - a late, first-generation GTS judging by the center-exit exhausts - getting assaulted by a giant piece of heavy equipment. The large claw shows no mercy on the V10-powered sports car, rending its muscular curves into pieces and then running it over, just for good measure. It's a painful video to watch (and hear!), made worse because we don't know what the Viper did to deserve such a fate. About a third of the way through the video, the cameraman indicates that the man with the claw is a new operator from Chrysler, and it appears there may be some fire damage, but beyond that, we don't have much to go on.
Scroll down for the video but be warned, it isn't for the faint of heart.
