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

First of all, I am relisting this item due to the winning bidder not paying for it in the last auction.  No deposit, no nothing!  Winning bidder never asked questions and never came to look at the car.  Ebay is giving me a credit for the listing.  Ebay is dinging the winning bidders ebay record.  I don't feel this is justification for a non paying bidder, but what can you do.  I apologize for those bidders who didn't have a fair chance at the prior auction due to this non paying bidder.

Well, to move forward see the below listing:

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.  Before I acquired it, he had the unibody 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 since they were stored indoors.  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(may be able to use existing ones), around rear window needs some attention, 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 automatic 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 axle 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 and the floor was cut at one point to fit a 4 speed, 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

2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models

Thu, 16 May 2013

After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.

2003-04 Dodge Viper recalled for sudden airbag deployment

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

As if driving the old Dodge Viper (not the fancy new SRT model) isn't intimidating enough, imagine trying to wrangle that V10 beast and then suddenly having the airbags deploy. Yikes. That's apparently what could happen to some 3,660 Viper models from the 2003 and 2004 model years, and as such, Chrysler has issued a recall.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the car's airbag control module may fail, causing the bags or seatbelt pre-tensioners to deploy without warning while the vehicle is in operation. That's a dangerous scenario in any car, let alone one offering insane horsepower a near-total paucity of safety nannies should things get squirrely.
Owners will be notified this month about the recall, though a remedy is not expected to be available until later this year. Scroll down for the full NHTSA statement.

2015 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak previewed

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Dodge and Mopar have never strayed far from success in drag racing, be it on run-what-you-brung nights at the local strip or at the highest levels of the sport. Hoping to both add to that heritage and capitalize on some of the media spotlight that's shown so brightly on the brand of late, Dodge has given us our first look at the 2015 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak test car.
Though this first iteration doesn't make use of the 707-horsepower Hellcat engine, it seems to be a pretty formidable racing package. Starting with a stock '15 Challenger, Mopar adds a full roll cage built to National Hot Rod Association specs. Rubber front and back is drag racing-ready as well, with 28x4.5-inch tires in the front, and fat 30x9-inch tires out back - all from Hoosier.
Powering the beast is a massive 426-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Hemi Race V8, with output levels that are still unspecified. A Chrysler 727 automatic transmission connects up to a racing style shift lever, with integral line lock.
