1970 Dodge Challenger on 2040-cars
Pasadena, California, United States
ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME: rhiannonmccathran@juno.com .
I have for sale my 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T with a numbers matching 440 4bbl engine, torqueflite transmission,
factory air conditioning, and power steering, bucket seats, and slap-stick shifter. I have converted the original 4
wheel drum brakes to front wheel disc brakes. (I still have the original drums).
The car was originally sold by my grandfather who owned A Chrysler Dealership in Madera, CA. It was later traded in
in 1975 and has been in my family ever since. My uncle did a restoration to the car in 1989. The car runs good,
everything on it works. This is a Central Valley car that has spent the last 25 years indoors and is rust free. It
is ready as a driver right now. I also have it listed on Craigslist. Thanks for looking!
Added: 12/1/2015. Here is more detail that I responded to one member's question with. I thought I would include it.
It is also shown below as well.
*Hello, everything works on the car except for the trip meter. I would consider the condition of the car as "A
Driver". However, it is complete and numbers matching and everything works. It had a period restoration back in
1988. At that time it received a reproduction interior kit with seat covers, carpet and dash pad. The gauges are
perfect, the dash pad is perfect, the radio is perfect and works, the seats and seat covers are perfect, the
windshield is perfect, the side glass is slightly scratched by the window rubber but do work, all the glass is the
original glass, the console is good, the wood decal on the console is bubbled, the seat backs and door panels have
scratches in the plastic that were then repainted in 1988. The carpet is sound but does exhibit some fading and
discoloration. The headliner is perfect and all the interior trim and metal is perfect and not pitted. The steering
wheel is not cracked and is complete. The steering wheel does have some discoloration on the spokes but the rubber
is not brittle. As far as the exterior: The doors are original metal and there is no rust, the hood, front fenders,
rear quarters, deck lid and bumpers are all original to the car and have no rust or damage. The trunk has no rust
and had a new trunk pan installed in 1988. The tires where new in 2010 and have seen less than 200 miles. The paint
is in good condition. There is no fading, peeling, bubbling, or scratches. It is glossy and complete. I do feel
like it could use a good wet sanding and polish as I believe it got a clear coat with the repaint in 1988 and seems
to be a little thick. All the exterior trim is present and in good condition. The engine was overhauled in 1988
along with the original transmission. In 2010 I added front wheel disc brakes. The car has seen less than 200 miles
since 2010. It has always been a California car and mostly stored inside. Please let me know if you have any other
questions.

Aficionauto drives Vin Diesel's fast and furious 1970 Dodge Charger
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The Aficionauto host Christopher Rutkowski has a real passion for original and replica cars from movies and television, whether they are from James Bond, Jurassic Park, or incredibly obscure Japanese shows. However, he might have outdone himself this time because he hopped into one of the biggest automotive stars of contemporary cinema. This 1970 Dodge Charger appeared in Fast & Furious and came back in Fast Five, where Paul Walker actually drove it. The menacing, black muscle car will make its return to the franchise in the seventh film, too.
The Fast and Furious Charger is a real beast no matter how you look at it. The interior is nothing more than two seats and a roll cage, and as the video shows, this thing vibrates constantly like a coiled mass of muscle ready to strike. The camera can barely stay in place most of the time. Also, Dom's Dodge is more than happy to do a smoky burnout and leave the driver partially deaf afterward from its wonderful, ear-splitting engine roar.
The Aficionauto also interviews the man who controls the keys to this beast. Bob Hartwig was once an F-15 pilot, but he also loved Hollywood vehicles. Now, he's a partner at Picture Car Warehouse, a company with about 850 cars that supplies vehicles to film studios. This Charger definitely seems to be Hartwig's favorite in the collection, as it should be.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions
Tue, 03 Sep 2013It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
