1970 Dodge Challenger on 2040-cars
Pasadena, California, United States
ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME: rhiannonmccathran@juno.com .
I have for sale my 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T with a numbers matching 440 4bbl engine, torqueflite transmission,
factory air conditioning, and power steering, bucket seats, and slap-stick shifter. I have converted the original 4
wheel drum brakes to front wheel disc brakes. (I still have the original drums).
The car was originally sold by my grandfather who owned A Chrysler Dealership in Madera, CA. It was later traded in
in 1975 and has been in my family ever since. My uncle did a restoration to the car in 1989. The car runs good,
everything on it works. This is a Central Valley car that has spent the last 25 years indoors and is rust free. It
is ready as a driver right now. I also have it listed on Craigslist. Thanks for looking!
Added: 12/1/2015. Here is more detail that I responded to one member's question with. I thought I would include it.
It is also shown below as well.
*Hello, everything works on the car except for the trip meter. I would consider the condition of the car as "A
Driver". However, it is complete and numbers matching and everything works. It had a period restoration back in
1988. At that time it received a reproduction interior kit with seat covers, carpet and dash pad. The gauges are
perfect, the dash pad is perfect, the radio is perfect and works, the seats and seat covers are perfect, the
windshield is perfect, the side glass is slightly scratched by the window rubber but do work, all the glass is the
original glass, the console is good, the wood decal on the console is bubbled, the seat backs and door panels have
scratches in the plastic that were then repainted in 1988. The carpet is sound but does exhibit some fading and
discoloration. The headliner is perfect and all the interior trim and metal is perfect and not pitted. The steering
wheel is not cracked and is complete. The steering wheel does have some discoloration on the spokes but the rubber
is not brittle. As far as the exterior: The doors are original metal and there is no rust, the hood, front fenders,
rear quarters, deck lid and bumpers are all original to the car and have no rust or damage. The trunk has no rust
and had a new trunk pan installed in 1988. The tires where new in 2010 and have seen less than 200 miles. The paint
is in good condition. There is no fading, peeling, bubbling, or scratches. It is glossy and complete. I do feel
like it could use a good wet sanding and polish as I believe it got a clear coat with the repaint in 1988 and seems
to be a little thick. All the exterior trim is present and in good condition. The engine was overhauled in 1988
along with the original transmission. In 2010 I added front wheel disc brakes. The car has seen less than 200 miles
since 2010. It has always been a California car and mostly stored inside. Please let me know if you have any other
questions.

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
