This third generation Dodge Charger will impress the Classic Car connoisseur’s to the avid collector.  It is in amazing condition, almost as though we are stepping back in time and looking through a window, as this Charger sits on the Dodge Dealers showroom floor in 1973. 


There is something inherently cool about a Mopar that has remained as timeless as this vehicle has.  This B Body Mopar has never been hacked up, modified, driven hard, or cheaply restored.  I simply can say, I rarely ever see a unrestored Mopar of this caliber and that truly is a huge statement.  This Charger would be the perfect platform to turn into a pro-touring hot rod since its body and floors are completely solid and rust free or leave it the way it is, drive it and enjoy it or It's a perfect opportunity for a Dodge dealer to put it on the showroom for that throwback look.


Most of these highly sought after Mopars have been scooped up over the years with very few retaining the originality and documentation that this example does.


From the Family that has owned this car since new:


“1973 Dodge Charger 318... This car has been in one family since new It is an original, unrestored, numbers matching magnificently preserved '73 Charger, with 43,000 actual miles. The original spare is still placed with the original jack and equipment in the trunk and  four all new radials on the ground. It drives, rides, cools and heats as well, it seems as it did new. This is a true survivor!”


For 1973, the Chargers received vertically slatted taillights and new grills and the hideaway headlights were no longer available.  This 3rd generation Charger is easily recognizable with its exaggerated coke bottle shape and swoops throughout its body-lines.


The exterior of this car needs no excuses from its excellent shine and finish to its vinyl top and trim work.  The interior is just a breathtaking as the exterior and will challenge you to imagine if this car ever was driven.  The dash and gauges are picture perfect.  This style Mopar allows for all the comforts of a modern ride with COLD air conditioning, a Torqueflite automatic transmission and 318 V8 engine.  


This vehicle fills the gap of acquiring a collector vehicle that will continue to appreciate in value and will also retain its original aesthetics.  Because remember vintage cars can only be original once and it is highly feasible that years from now when many have been modified or cloned that the originals will be the vehicles that will appreciate in valuable.  We are already starting to this with the original Chevy and Fords of the 30's.   This Mopar will be a great addition to anyones collection.

Hero gets his truck back better than new thanks to community support [w/video]

Sun, 29 Jun 2014

You ever hear a story and start cringing before you hear the end because you know how it's going to turn out? That could very well have been the case with the story from a few weeks ago in West Valley City, Utah, where a 14-year-old kid stole his grandfather's Hyundai Veloster and took it for a joyride - through a park full of children. But instead it turned into a heart-warming tale of heroism and a community banding together to do what's right... and then some.
Bryson Rowley was that hero who identified the danger and, rather than sit idly by and watch the joyrider potentially run over a child, got into his truck and drove it into the menacing runaway hatchback. The collision caused some $7,500 to his 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, but instead of getting stuck with the bill - one which his insurance may very well have refused to pay since the crash was, technically speaking, intentional - his community pitched in a helping hand.
Bryan Ellison, who owns West Valley Carstar with his brother, saw the news on television and wanted to help. So he brought Rowley a rental car, picked up his truck and brought it back to his auto repair shop. People from around the community donated parts, and when all was said and done, some $15,000 of work and upgrades were performed on the Ram that was returned to an overwhelmed Bryson Rowley better than new. Watch the video below for the full story.

2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
