1970 Dodge Challenger R/t 426 Hemi on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 Hemi w/slapstick auto trans. The car has 34300 orig. miles on the odo and has not been on the road since 1975. It has been covered on blocks in a garage since that time. Interior because of that is in superb condition with only a small wear mark at the drivers left foot floor resting position, a bit of lightening of the driver’s door panel were the drivers arm rested on the sill and armrest also the headliner while undamaged in any way is pillowing in places. The exterior is straight BUT the car has had the paint, due I assume to needing some body work, redone on both sides of the car blended to the un-redone hood and trunk. As you can look at all of the big panels on these old muscle cars, the rear quarters and front fender inner‘ds can be looked at and no bodywork is evident. On the passengers door a scratch does reveal what could be either a primer/filler or sanding mark coat of body filler having been applied. I ran my CCTV scope inside both doors and if they were body worked you can’t tell were. Something has been done but since the original owner has passed we can only speculate. It has the shopping cart marks, for want of a better phrase, of a car that was until 1975 just a daily driver. Remember you are looking at what the car IS now, back then, it was just a car. The biggest issue as far as the car being a “Barn Find” dream is this; it DOES NOT HAVE MATCHING NUMBERS. The engine and transmission were replaced in early 1971 with a factory short block that has been massaged a bit, Iskenderian cam and lifter kit, Crower roller chain timing, Mallory Dual Point Ign. / Distributor. Also the oil lines where done up in Aeroquip and the pan oversized by 2 1/2 ”. The interior of the engine has all been de-flashed and coated for faster oil drain back. The orig. four barrel carbs were replaced with the racing versions but retained the progressive linkage that came stock including the trans kick-down linkage. Before I even turned the engine it was filled with 9+ gallons of oil held at 150 degrees F. for two days, then an electric drive motor ran the oil pump for an hour, then I rolled the engine over by hand for fifty revolutions. After that because the Torque-Flite B&M trans has a back pump, I turned the output shaft at a gradually increasing rate until it stalled by trying to turn the engine over. If you are old enough you will remember you COULD push start the old automatics, until it was cheaper to take out the back pumps. After the cooling system was cleaned, which other than some light dirt scale from being dry so long, it was refilled with 50/50 coolant, pressure tested to 20psi. With a fresh fill of high zinc and phosphorus break in oil and new filter she was ready for start-up. The points in the Mallory are perfect and just a dab of lube was all that was needed there, two pumps on the throttle and she roared, literally, into life. I let her come up to temp, new thermostat, and then raised her on the hoist until the wheels were free of the ground, put it in drive and let it free run for about 20 minutes to check for heat and or leaks, none were found. Next came the test drive, and man let me tell you, if you have never had the thrill of a 426 Hemi, it is a rush and a half. Granted, you twist her tail and you will have her tail coming right around you. She is a hand-full and NOT for the faint of heart. This is an opportunity to own not only a piece of history, but have a choice to go with it. Because it is not a matching number car the price tag is in a much lower range. A 1970 Hemi Cuda barn find, 15k less miles and matching numbers just sold at auction for $1.3 million. You’re going to save a bundle on this car. It is perfect for the person that wants to do a ground up because the ground is not that far away, OR, you can have the coolest “Daily driver” around just the way she is. I have posted a YouTube video; it takes you on a tour over and under the car. The link is as follows; http://youtu.be/or4tBh6Vw8g After you take the tour, AND you are serious about the car and need/want more info, M-F 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. MDT I can be reached at (801) 637-1812. I strongly suggest that you or your agent come look at the car In Person. The car is NOT perfect but remember she is 44 years old, and she still can kick ass on most anything on the street. This car is so good that I would NOT for one moment hesitate to drive it cross country. I would recommend however that you have it trucked to you, heavily insured. But you could do it, and it would be a road trip for the ages. Last thing here, and in payment details, I have title in hand, free and clear, PLEASE READ THIS PART CAREFULLY, There will be a 5% Buyers Premium ADDED to the end price of the car. I am brokering the car for the owner and they have agreed to split the normal 10% with the buyer. This is NOT negotiable and must be paid separately by the purchaser before ANY paperwork changes hands, period. If this is an affront to you, do not participate, simple as that. Good luck, and do not hesitate to ask questions, here or by phone. |

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger
Sun, 23 Feb 2014When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
2015 Dodge Charger darts into NY traffic
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Meet the refreshed 2015 Dodge Charger; notice anything different? You would have to be pretty farsighted to miss the sedan's new Dart-like nose, and it's likely going to be quite polarizing to the car's fans. Gone are the previous furrowed, aggressive headlights in favor of a wider, friendlier look.
While the more rounded headlights and narrower grille are going to be the first thing most people notice, Dodge claims its designers have made changes to nearly every panel on the Charger. The hood dips down deeper at the front, and the doors show off a more angled version of the car's shoulder blister. LED running lights and taillights are standard on all models, and SXT and RT trims get LED foglights. Even though the front might not be as intimidating, Dodge has hung onto the sedan's muscular stance with angular contours making up the rest of the redesign.
Under the hood is the same engine range you've come to know over recent years. Both the 5.7-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 return for 2015, with the Hemi making 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, and the standard Pentestar outputting 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. All models are now equipped with Chrysler's TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic as standard. Fuel economy for V8 Chargers is predicted at 16 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, compared to 15 mpg / 25 mpg last year with a five-speed automatic. All models also come with electric power steering, and the axles are cast from aluminum to save weight.
Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.
