I am putting my 71 Dodge Challenger up for auction due to a recent lower back injury that has greatly limited my range of motion so I am not able to progress forward with my plans I had for this car. Anyone wanting to come and look this Challenger over prior to placing a bid is more than welcome to come see it. It is located on highway 53 between Fairmount and Calhoun Georgia. Please contact me phone numbers so I can arrange for someone to meet you and how you the car.
NOTE: I purchased this Challenger in the state of Alabama which did not issue titles for cars until 1973 (per the DMV) so I am selling this Challenger with a Bill OF SALE ONLY. In the past when I lived in a state needing a paper title for an older vehicle I used International Title Services out of Las Vegas,NV to obtain a title. There are other companies which can help you obtain a paper title but I cannot speak for their services. ITS did a good job for me when I used them and got me a title I used when I lived in North Carolina.
I have listed in the know condition of the vehicle what I do know about this Challenger. It is not a numbers matching car. The VIN decodes to a vehicle from the factory with a 383 in it but know has a 440 in it, casting date in 1969 and installed in a 1970 model vehicle per the numbers on the machined pad on the block above the oil pan.
I purchased this Challenger which has a set of Hurst Lightning Rod shifters in it which limits the installation of the normal console top plate, P-R-N-D-L2-L1 lighted shift indicator and woodgrain stick on applique (decal). I planned on changing it back to a slap stick shifter or 4 speed since it was setup at one time with a 4 speed but I am auctioning it off as is since I can't do the bending necessary to do the work associated with changing the shifter setup. The swing pedal assembly setup for a manual transmission is still in the car minus the clutch pedal. The smaller sized brake pedal is still in the vehicle and the hole for the 4 speed shifter has been covered over with sheet metal under the carpet on the drive shaft tunnel. The car has a brand new Edelbrock model 1411, 750 CFM carburetor on it and Edelbrock Torquer manifold.
I think whomever purchases this car is getting a solid car that they can work with and turn into an excellent show piece with a bit of work. Car has solid front and rear floor pans, trunk floor, quarter panels, doors, fenders, hood etc etc.
I have decoded the casting numbers and stampings (below) that I have located on the 440 engine block

Casting Numbers on Block 2536430 (standard bore-4.320,standard stroke-3.750)
Shown as casted on Dayshift
Casting Date- November 7,1969
Factory stencil stamp on machined pad above oil pan on passenger side 0B248780
I.D. stenciling on machined pad near distributor F-440, H.P., 11-28

HEADS:

2843906-9 (Mopar part# 2843904)
Casting indicating part was cast on Dayshift
Other unknown number located on head on drivers side - #23

Other engine parts information I found on a handwritten piece of paper in the documentation I received with this car.

Crankshaft - 3512036

Rods - 3462426

When I initially saw this car the previous owner was doing a bearing inspection on it and I ask him to write down any part numbers he could locate while doing the bearing inspection/change out so I did personally located the engine numbers but did not personally look at the crank and rods but am listing, above, what I found in the cars documentation.

SPECIAL NOTE: I have a complete 6 pack setup that will bolt right up to this engine plus matches the casting date of the engine within a day of it's casting (engine date-11-7-69, 6 pack cast iron manifold casting date 11-6-1969 (intake #2946276)

ADDITIONAL PHOTOS available upon written request. Just let me know what view of the Challenger you would like to have.

This Challenger is For Sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction if the car sells locally.

I am receptive to discussing offers but at the price I have this Challenger listed at I am losing almost $5,000.00 so please don't expect me to give this car to you.

REV#1:Additional photos posted. Many are asking for these pics & it is a bit easier to post them here than send 30 individual e-mail replies. Interior pics will be added tomorrow afternoon.

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 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
