1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible 440 Six Pack Mopar Cuda Plymouth A-c Air Rare on 2040-cars
Pottstown, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Over the past 30+ years of selling cars this by far is my favorite..It started out as a 318 automatic challenger convertible, have 2 factory build sheets to go along with the car. It was owned for a long time owner in North Carolina for many years before it was purchased back in 2007 when the restoration of the car took off. I will tell you that a Dodge mechanic of 20+ years owned and restored this vehicle to the condition it is in now. He searched a long time for a solid e-body to build his dream car and after years of looking at over 30 cars he had finally found this solid Challenger.
This car was taken down as far as you can go with and started back from the ground up. It is about 95% done now and is by far and away the best E body I have driven in, ever. The car now sports a period correct 440-6 pack motor that has some work done to push the horse power level to a estimated 450 or so. The car looks to be all stock but when you here it through the 3" TTI exhaust and those factory tips you know it has a bit more the a stock 375 horsepower back in the day. So, the motor, trans and rear have less then a 1000 miles on it since the car was 95% finished in 2010. The trans has a small 2600 stall speed converter and the rear is redone with a 3.91 posi rear. The car has factory Air condition that works and you can see the air filter was notched out in the front to help clear the A-C. It has a 1" spacer to lift the carbs up a little to clear for the a-c, the fuel tank, lines, brake lines, hoses, wheel cylinders and so on are all new back in 2010 also. The car still has the Original white top with no tears and he decided to leave that top on. It will come with a new white top in the box with a new rear window (have the original glass window on the car), it will also come with the white side RT stripes and RT hood logo in white..I decided not to put these on and will let the new owner decide if they want them on..As you can see in the pictures the floors, behind the door panels, everything was painted and cleared coated with no short cuts taken..I wont even tell you how much this paint job cost, lets say it was over $10,000.. I will add a video tonight sometime when I can so you can get a true look at this car and hear it run. Open to offers to close the auction at anytime, as you can see in pictures this car is a one of a kind..I drove this car 30 miles from work and was stopped 3 times while I was driving to be asked all kind of questions. I am sure I am forgetting a few things but I will add more information later so please look again so you can watch the video and read more about it. I have the 71 wood steering wheel also to go with the car, am radio was just set in the hole for pictures, will try and get mounted before the end of the auction.. Paint is a 9.8 out of 10, body 100% perfect, interior is 90% done still has the original front and rear seat covers, has the original dash with a small 1 in crack ( hard to see) just a awesome car..If it does not sell I will be adding the stripes on it and driving it for the summer time..No need to sell..But a must have for a collector.. .Do not miss this one guys - gals.. Front end suspension all redone, front and rear sway bars, the rear springs were new all done in 2010..This car is a must see..The sun was not out in most of these pictures so if you want better pictures I have some on my cell phone I can text or email you more. Do not lose out on this car, you will never see another one with the color contrast of the Green and White interior like this...Thank you. I recently did new weather stripping on the doors, the door and window moldings, door sill plates, sun visors, the spare is a nos unit, and canister is a re-pop, new seat backs for the buckets, new trunk mat is on the way also, car was done right..Very little to do.. Car comes with New top if you wanted to put it on, how many left with the original top and rear glass, and original windshield? Needs just the rear convertible panels repainted ( called just dashes to do but did not want to wait 12 weeks ) speedo cable just broke, am radio hooked up, that's it..Wont find a nicer one..One of One color combo...White stripes come with the car.. Will entertain all serious offers as the car can be sold locally.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPW94nh4qDg There are 2 videos..1 here and 1 on the bottom. : To answer a few questions...The original color was dark green, of course it was taken all the way down and painted and every inch of the car was repainted and cleared. I just updated 2 pictures outside in the Sun for a better idea how this car shines and the color really pops in the Sun. The pictures do not do this car any justice, it is a must see in person. I have sold alot of cars here, hemi's and 440-6 cuda, Gto Conv, 70 Rebel Machine with 11,000 original miles, this car hands down is the nicest one to date. You tube videos...

2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
Driving Notes
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg
Thu, 18 Sep 2014With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.
2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack
Thu, 17 Apr 2014While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.
