1970 Dodge Challenger #s Matching 340/automatic Project on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:54146
Location:

Royal Oak, Michigan, United States

Royal Oak, Michigan, United States

This auction is for one 1970 Dodge Challenger incomplete project car. It is a real A66 340 performance package car with its original engine, 727 transmission, radiator, complete dash assembly, steering column with keys & heater box. It still has its original fender tag which is rusty but readable from the backside and its build sheet that's in very nice condition. As seen in the pictures it is a rolling chassis that has rust issues from front to back and top to bottom. It doesn't retain its original rear axle assembly but it does have an E-body 8 & 3/4" out of another car with an open center section. It is an original 4 wheel drum brake car but I have installed an original 1970 E-body front disc brake assembly that includes spindles, two piece rotors and calipers. The engine is disassembled but complete except for exhaust manifolds and air cleaner. I had the block hot tanked and magnafluxed to verify that it is a good rebuildable core and that it is. 
It is an original FK5 Burnt Orange car inside and out with a black top and tail stripe. Most of The interior is missing but it was a console shifted automatic car. The doors are original to the car and are in useable condition with minimal rust but one is damaged as shown in the pics. Unfortunately somebody cut out the top yoke of the radiator core support that had the body numbers stamped on it but I'll include a nice whole core support that was removed from another vehicle. It still retains the body numbers that are stamped on the cowl, the vin tag on the dash and the door vin decal on the driver's side door. The trunk lid on it is rust-free and comes with the early, non-crumple zone Rallye hood shown in the pics and is also rust-free. Also included is a nice front bumper with brackets but no grille, headlight bezels or fenders.
I originally intended to restore this car myself but that is no longer my plan as I have too many other projects and nowhere near enough time to do them all. I have a lot of parts that I have picked up over the years for this car that are NOT included in this auction but will be available for sale to the high bidder so if you don't see it in the pics or listed in the description, it's not included in this auction.
I have registered this car with Galen Govier and those documents are included in this auction. It is 1 of 3,771 340 single four barrel automatics built in 1970. 
This would be one very nice Mopar when restored and with all of the original equipment and documentation I think it deserves to be saved.
I am open to shipping this car anywhere in the world but I am not responsible for making any of those arrangements and shipping is not included in this auction. All of the parts that are included would fit inside the car except the hood which would have to be strapped to the front of the car which I will do for the new owner if not a local pick up.
The car is located in the Detroit area.
A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours through Pay Pal and the balance to be paid in cash if you're going to pick it up within 7 days or by certified funds or bank wire transfer within 7 days of the end of the auction. I will not release the car until it is paid in full and all funds have cleared.
The reserve is pretty low in my opinion and I will not reveal the reserve unless you have made a bid.
Please feel free to contact me with any more questions you might have.

2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with '600-plus horsepower' officially unveiled [w/video]

Tue, 20 May 2014

Dodge has officially unveiled the most powerful vehicle to ever wear the Challenger name - the SRT Hellcat - complete with over 600 horsepower courtesy of a supercharged, 6.2-liter Hemi V8. It will be offered alongside the 485-hp Challenger SRT.
The new, force-induced V8 isn't just the most powerful ever fitted to the Challenger, it's the most powerful eight-cylinder Chrysler Group has ever built. Power figures aren't finalized, so expect to see "over 600 hp" bandied about quite a lot. That fury will be channeled through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Yes, over 600 ponies through an eight-speed auto. So far, the only vehicle we know of that delivers more output through that many gears is the as-yet untested Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Sadly, we don't have performance metrics just yet, although if this thing can't crack four seconds to 60 miles per hour, we'll be pretty surprised.
As is the theme nowadays, the 2015 Challenger SRT features a number of driving modes, governing power output, shift speeds for the 8AT, steering effort, traction control settings and suspension settings. There are three pre-programmed options - Default, Sport and Track - and a Custom mode that allows drivers to mix and match to their heart's content.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
