We bought this VERY rough 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T as a new restoration project. It is a true R/T that came with a factory 440. It is in very poor shape, so let's get that out of the way first. The entire floor pan from the trunk through and including the firewall, frame rails and inner fender rails needs to be replaced because of rust. It is also missing the windshield. Someone in the past put 2 new quarter panels on it as well as front fenders but we do not know their condition. We bought it as a disassembled mess and have cleaned everything out, sorted the parts and just started the restoration process. All body pan, inner fenders and frame rail parts are available via AMD under Mopar licensing. The following parts are in good shape and usable: doors, roof, trunk lid, hood, door glass, side glass and rear glass are all good. The radiator support and grill area is good and has a matching VIN. The driver's door has a good interior panel and matching VIN tag. We have a clean title and here are the parts that we have begun the restoration with: new door hinges (4), new outer door handles, new hood hinges. We have just completed a Firm-Feel K-Frame restoration for the 440, including powder coating, and rebuilt the entire steering gear and lower control arms and powder coated them. On the interior it does have a Rallye gauge frame in good condition but no gauges, several extra dash frames and a dash pad in rough condition. We are unsure what other parts are there or missing but will provide everything we got.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Dodge hoping Fast & Furious appearance gives Dart a sales jolt [w/video]
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, Chrysler is hoping Fast & Furious 6 will be kind to the Dodge Dart. While the compact sedan doesn't actually show up in the film, Dodge has partnered up with the movie franchise for a new ad featuring the Dart.
Chrysler hasn't exactly seen the high sales numbers it was originally hoping for with the new sedan, thanks in part to a couple of missteps. For starters, most early-production vehicles were only offered with a manual transmission. Analysts believe Chrysler squandered around 95 percent of potential Dart sales because automatic transmission options weren't immediately available.
Right now, the Dodge Dart rakes 19th among compact cars, pulling down 31,064 sales through April. Last month was the company's strongest, with 8,099 units moving off of dealer lots. Unfortunately, the model has also been handicapped by its older sister, the Avenger. With Chrysler throwing heavy incentives at the aging sedan, many consumers have taken advantage of a better deal with the slightly larger, more powerful Avenger.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
