This auction is for my 1970 Charger 500 SE - 1 of 2887 built and 1 of 963 painter Cream - Y3.  I purchased it in 1999, fully intending to restore it,  I had barely gotten started when I started having some health problems. Unfortunately, those4 problems also caused financial issues.  As much as I hated doing it, I started parting it out just to get by.  I am selling now that the buyer will restore it.  If not, there are still many usable parts or parts for resale. 

What makes this Charger, although not complete is that it is basically a matching numbers car.  I was able to find serial numbers on the dashboard VIN plate, the fender plate, the door jam sticker, the radiator support, the trunk stamp under the weather stripping, and also on the engine.  What is not original are a 4 barrel, air cleaner, manifold and heads.  He had also pit a set of Crager mags on the front, so there are only original hubcaps and they are included.  The hubcaps  I put on I believe are 1638.  The drivers side fender must have been dined as it paint does not match.  In addition to the matching numbers, I also have and almost complete window sticker, 2 build sheets, the drivers manual and the original warranty card.  I bought the car from the second owner, but he new the original purchaser.  The car had not been started for quite a while before I bought it and I have not started it either.  The car does have some issues.  I parted out basically most of the interior, the front bumper, grill and valance, the radiator, the rear bumper, tail lights and finish panel.  Having been parked outside, there is some rust.  The rear frame rails, the torsion bar cross member, the front floor pans, the trunk panels, the lower rear quarter panels and the rear valance will need to be replaced or repaired. The fenders are OK with the exception of the usual spot behind the Penstar emblem, just a bit on the lower edge of the doors and rocker panels. underside of the hood and the lip of the trunk and under the vinyl top,  This is about average for a northern car. The wiring harness will need to be repaired as the previous owner had added two speakers under the dash and a trailer hitch.

 

The car has straight sides and does include all the chrome (very minor swirling) and minor pitting on the quarter windows and mirror.  In addition, the glass is very good with only minor scratching on the back window and on the drivers window from rolling it up and down.  Included will be a number of original parts:

The original air cleaner (do not have the carb, manifold etc)

Fan, spacer and pulley

hood support/latch, fender supports and splash shields

the horns

headlight buckets, trim and hardware and lights (not T3)

wash bottle (not the best condition)battery box and strap

gas cap and trim ring (some pitting)

front turn signals/parking lights

side marker lights (one red lens missing and some pitting)

2 original deep dish hub caps

spare tire

interior trim

heater control

interior door handles and window cranks

gas and brake pedals with custom trim

dome light

dash speedometer and instrument cluster - no clock  (unfortunately I broke one of the pins on the module.  It is but I don't know if it can be repaired).  All switches (headlights, windshield wipers etc.) are still in the car.

I even have a 1970 and 1978 Michigan license plates that I will throw in.

 

Although I do have offers locally, they would just use the Charger for parts.  Considering the matching number and documentation, I would hope that the new owner would restore it and give to it what I couldn't.

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
