The Body is refinished in its original R6 red paint including the interior floors, trunk floors, engine compartment, and complete undercarrage. The paint was sprayed in a brand new down draft heated paint booth. (I think this was the 5th car painted in the booth). Then almost fourty hours of color sanding and several stages of buffing. With a lot of cars on-line, the vehicles look better in pictures then in person. With this car, the pictures do not do it justice. This car must be seen in person to be appreciated. It was painted four years ago and in storage ever since.
The Interior compartment has a brand new carpet, new seat covers and foam, new headliner, door panels and trim, new seat belts, new console and trim, rechromed shifter, new sills and more. The insturment cluster has been restored by Auto Insturments. The guages were refinished and calabrated, the needles were bead blasted and repainted and the plastic chrome was refinsihed which all make this unit looking and functioning like new. This charger was radio delete so there is no stereo. All the window seals and gaskets have been replaced and all the window slides and felts are new also. All the glass was removed during painted and was buffed before reinstalling. The windshield (clear, not tinted) is new.
The undercarrage was sandblasted and refinished. It has three different types of primers were applied before it was base coat/clear coated in R6 red. The exhaust is reproduction. All the shocks are correct, suspension was restored to original as well as brakes, fuel lines, brake lines, bushings, emergency brake cables, body plugs, gas tank, sending unit, straps, ect.
The engine is a cast 1969 block. It is not matching numbers to the car. It has been completely rebuilt. It has the correct carter carburator, it has been rebuilt and rejetted to the cam card of the rebuilt kit used. Also the engine has the correct intake and exhaust manifolds, the correct water pump housing, the correct valve covers, the correct wiring with reproduction identication stickers wrapped around the them. The correct heater hoses, correct vacuum hoses for the hideaway headlights, the correct distributer and coil with the 2 of 69 build date. It has the correct battey cables with tags. There are reproduction enging compartment decals throughout. It has a standard battery with a battery topper on it. This 440 runs strong and smooth with only less then 100 miles on it since its rebuild. It has a crane cam and rollor rockers from the 440 souce. There is a new compition clutch behind it.
The transmission has been rebuilt and refinished. It is matching numbers aer original to the car.
The rear is a brand new unit from DTS drum to drum. The chrome diff cover ofcorse not correct, but that could easily be corrected by the new owner if so desired.
The wheels are magnum 500s which according to the build sheet are not correct. The car came with 14 inch steel wheels with hub caps from the factory with red line tires. We choose to use the 15 inch magnums with BF Goodrich radial red line tires for looks. This can also be easily swapped by the new owner.
The trunk compartment was also restored to original. The trunk floors are original and solid. The inside of the quarter panels were refinished body color, the jack was restored and repainted. The spare wears the same BF Goodrich red line tire thats on the other four wheels.
The brakes are all drum with is correct according to the build sheet.
The grill has been restored, there are no broken teeth in it. The headlight doors work properly as well.
I tried to cover everything. Please ask questions and come see the car for yourself in person. Vehicle is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early for the right offer.
There is a facebook page for this car simply called Charger Rt There are over 80 pictures ( all close ups ) As the days go by I will be posting more pics, mostly undercarrage. Click on the links below for the pictures.

Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."
NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged
Fri, 23 May 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.
11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
