Rallye Edition In Original Lime Green Color, With 318 V-8 & Torque Flight on 2040-cars

Year:1973 Mileage:57382
Location:

Binghamton, New York, United States

Binghamton, New York, United States

The vehicle being auctioned is a 1973 Challenger Rallye Edition that the successful bidder can drive home.  The 318 V-8 is equipped with a 2 barrel carburetor and exhaust headers.  The Torque Flight transmission shifts normally.  It has a pleasing, strong exhaust note that attracts positive attention. The car is equipped with manual steering and brakes.  The windshield wipers work as does the horn.  The vehicle is being re-listed due to a non-paying high bidder.

Interior:  original Dark Green with decent carpet and some cracks and visible wear in the vinyl upholstery which is typical for a 40 year old car.  However, it is still functional and can be left as is, updated or recovered.  It has a working factory tachometer, speedometer and gauges including water temperature, amp gauge and fuel gauge.  The factory oil pressure gauge is not working but an accessory column mounted oil pressure gauge is in place and working.  The car has a working aftermarket radio.  The dash pad and door panels are all in decent condition but of course show common wear and tear for a vehicle of this age.  The car has an original Challenger console with SlapStik T-handle but also had the automatic transmission selector quadrant on the column which leads me to believe that the car had the console and shifter added somewhere in its' life.

Exterior:  The car still wears original rare Lime Green color.  The car has likely been refinished and has had typical body/rust repair/touch up work done to the quarters and front inner fender wells.  The floors are solid.  I want to emphasize that the car shows reasonably well, is a driver and can be driven and enjoyed as is or can be upgraded/restored over time.  The paint has some fading on the hood, roof and trunk panel.  There is surface bubbling on both lower rear quarters behind the rear wheels.  I believe that the driver's door has been replaced with a door from another Challenger at some point. The window crank mechanism for the driver's window is not operating. The chrome on both bumpers is very decent for the age of the car and looks good! Speaking of bumpers, '73 was the first year of 5 mile per hour bumpers that protruded from the front and rear bumpers.  All 4 have been removed and are in the trunk to either be put in storage or remounted.  All glass is in good condition.  One of the Rallye Wheel trim rings is battered but in place on the car. The trunk floor is all there with the exception of one small hole about the size of a common nail head. Jack and spare are in the trunk.

I have the original Broadcast Sheet (build sheet) for the car (see photo).  The fender tag is in place and the VIN numbers on the New York State Title, fender tag, Broadcast Sheet and windshield VIN tag all agree.

If you have questions, please ask them prior to bidding.  If you would like to schedule a pre bid inspection, let me know. If you are an International Bidder, I will be happy to work with you.  However, you must be responsible for all international shipping arrangements. 

The commerative plates displayed on the front and rear of the car are not part of the sale.

Summary:  This is a car that can be driven and enjoyed!  I have tried to answer as many questions as possible and if you have others, let me know.  The car is for sale locally and as a result the auction could end early.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

With 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.

Dodge whips covers off 2013 Blacktop series

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

Dodge introduced us to its Blacktop model lineup a year ago with the 2012 Charger and followed up with more recently with the 2013 Challenger and 2013 Avenger. Now the automaker will be applying this ominous-looking treatment to the Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey models for 2013 as well. These models will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show, but Dodge has released most of the details for these new products including pricing and availability.
If the Grand Caravan R/T (aka, the Man Van) wasn't aggressive enough for you or its $30,000 starting price was a little too pricey, then the 2013 Grand Caravan Blacktop could be the ticket. Starting with the SXT trim level (which stickers at $19,995), the Blacktop package costs only $595, and adds unique features such as blacked-out headlights, grille and fog lights bezels and an all-black interior. The van rides on black-accented, 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Grand Caravan Blacktop is only available in monochromatic paint schemes limited to Billet Silver, Brilliant Black, Maximum Steel, Redline Red and Stone White
Likewise, the 2013 Journey Blacktop is offered only on the SXT model (starting at $18,995) with all of the crossover's normal options such as four- and six-cylinder engines, five- or seven-passenger seating and front- or all-wheel drive. The Blacktop package adds $995 to the Journey SXT's price and features many of the same black accents as the Grand Caravan like the headlights, grille, door mirrors and lower fascia. Exterior colors are limited to Bright Silver, Bright Red, Brilliant Black, Brilliant Red Tri-Coat, White, Pearl White Tri-Coat and Storm Grey, and the package's 19-inch wheels come in Gloss Black. Inside, the Journey Blacktop comes standard with black cloth seats and Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen, but black leather is also available as an option.

Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.
