1970 Dodge Charger Texas Car Needs Restoration Very Solid on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:999999 Color: sail panels

This 1970 Dodge Charger needs a complete restoration.  It has been apart for probably 15 years or longer.  I bought the car from a mechanic who had planned to rebuild the car someday.  All that was done was the unibody was blasted.  All of the remaining metal and parts were stored in an AC garage or attic for many years.  Rust was not an issue for these parts.  As a result the original padding, metal and all other components looks to be in pretty good shape.  Some metal that will need to be replaced: The trunk pan will need to be replaced, exterior sail panels (around rear window), lower rear quarters.  It needs the normal metal work for a Charger or mopar from Texas.

The Unibody has already been blasted so that all rust holes are visible.  The unibody currently has a temporary protective coating which was applied after it was blasted.  The Charger is originally a 318 manual transmission(D31) car.  You will get an manual transmission with the car as well as a 318 engine and automatic which are currently bolted together.  The Charger does have the original fender tag.  I have many parts with this Charger.  It is an AC car.  All that I have regarding the AC is the AC/ Heater Box. I do not have the rear end for the car.  I am giving both automatic and manual transmission with the car because of this.  The manual transmission has a 18 spline shaft.  The charger has a 4 speed floor console, the doors retain their door glass.  I have buckets of parts for this car.  The grill looks to be in very good shape too! Please see the photos for more details on the parts and the car.

This is a great Charger to build your Clone 440 RT or Clone Hemi RT.  It is very solid for a restoration project!  I have built many B and E body mopars and if I wanted to build a clone, I would use this car!

If you are interested in this Dodge Charger I recommend seeing it before you bid.  If you would like to see the car call and set an appointment.  For any questions or appointments you can call 972.742.8191.

Please note, I have described this ad to the best of my ability.  This vehicle is sold as is where is no warranty implied.

Thanks.

 After further research, although I have the fender tag and the transmission number listed in this ad, I wanted to correct myself.  D31 looks to be an automatic 904 transmission.  So this car would have been an automatic car.

Lackluster Dodge Dart sales trigger layoffs

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

Hidden amidst the overall very positive sales figures that Chrysler released earlier this week were a few disappointments, the biggest of which may be the Dodge Dart. While Dodge sales in general were down 11 percent from a year ago, the Dart's poor figures stood out from the rest - with 4,888 units sold, the Dart was down 37 percent in February.
It comes as little surprise, then, that the automaker has announced layoffs at its assembly plant in Belvidere, IL. According to The Daily Herald, Dodge will temporarily lay off 325 workers "to balance vehicle supply with current sales demand." Put more simply, there are more Darts than buyers at the moment...
We don't think the Dodge Dart is a bad car, but it's playing in a market that offers a few standout sellers, like the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. According to AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan, as quoted by The Daily Herald, "great incentives on the Dodge Avenger" are also partly to blame for the Dart's poor showing.

How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
