Year:1971 Mileage:150000 Color: lights

Danville, California, United States

Danville, California, United States

71 Challenger that was built to run on the street.  It does have a 70 grill (I just like the look more), but everything else is 71.  Non-matching numbers, converted from column shifted automatic to overdrive 4 speed (A833) on the floor with pistol grip.  Paint is new, but it is NOT show quality.  Car was originally dark green with black vinyl top.  Engine is fresh - I believe it was a 73 or 74 block, installed newly turned steel (forged not cast) crank, along with Scat Rods and KB pistons.  Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock Manifold, Holley DP (850), MP 528 solid lifter cam, Harland Sharp roller rockers, Hooker SuperComp headers, 3" exhaust, Dynaflow mufflers.  MSD ignition (6AL and coil).  Motor has probably 300 miles on it total.  New clutch and pressure plate installed with motor.  Tranny mileage unknown, does leak a drop or two out of seals on side.  Air shocks installed and functional (old school).  Power steering installed, but not hooked up (no belt), so it's manual steering for all intents and purposes.  8.75 rear end, not sure on ratio (3.23?), sorry.  No rust on car - as far as I know the car has always been in California and inland (not near the coast), so no salt air.  I did replace the rear dutchman panel as I went through it, so there was rust there, but it's now gone obviously.  I also replaced the front passenger fender.  Originally a vinyl top car as shown by fender tag, no longer.  New seat covers, carpet, headliner, dash cover.  All instruments work (emergency brake light, speedo, tach, temp, fuel, voltage, + two additional gauges (oil pressure and engine temp)).  Dash lights do not work at night, no horns.  All exterior lights (headlights, high beams, parking, all side markers, etc) all work just fine.  No radio/stereo in the car currently.  Tires are in great shape all around, wheels are 10" rear and 7" front.  Rear brakes have new pads, fronts were fine (drums all around).  Cars runs at 180 all day, starts right up, etc.  Runs hard.  I do not have a build sheet.  Note:  front buckets will be changed out before auction end with those shown in pic of front of car so that front seat pattern matches rear.  All new seatcovers front and rear.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

2014: Refreshed 300/300C, debuting at Los Angeles Auto Show

Custom 2014 Dodge Durango R/T proves SEMA can be subtle

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

The annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas can often be a sensory overload of overwrought madness, with cars that don't even look drivable anymore. But every once in a while, a modestly modified show car graces our presence, like the customized Dodge Durango you see here, which, in addition to giving us our first glimpse at the aftermarket possibilities for the refreshed-for-2014 model, proves that a car doesn't have to be slammed, scooped, donked and Lambo-doored to have presence.
Sure, this Durango has custom hood inserts, dark 22-inch wheels and custom fender flares, but as far as external modifications go, that's it. Inside, Dodge has fitted new door sill guards, an ambient lighting kit, bright pedals, premium floor mats and - of course - Katzkin leather. The automaker has even added wireless internet connectivity as part of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system.
Performance upgrades are minimal on this Durango R/T, which comes packed with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Larger brakes have been fitted, as have lowering springs (though it certainly doesn't look that much lower) and a custom exhaust.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
