1970 Dodge Challenger on 2040-cars
Gilson, Illinois, United States
Just email me at: kriskkkualii@irishhome.net .
This is a real 1970 Dodge Challenger RT 440 v-code 6 pac car. It is NOT a shaker hood purple car. I added a photo
of what the car looked like in the 80's So you understand the history of the car. The owner at that time bought it
off of a board at the local car parts store at that time it had a 340 6 pac and retained its factory color of F3
light green metallic. Still had a 4spd and dana with 4;10 gears. After purchasing the car he had all the custom
work done and did not care it was a V-code car and does not know what happened to the fender tag and he does not
remember the guys name he bought it from. The car and history is well known in the St Louis mo mopar area. But that
is as far back as the history of the car is known. So what is known is it was F3 green 440 6 pac 4spd dana super
trac pac car.
In the late 80's the car had a electrical fire and burnt the interior up and the insurance company totaled the
car out. He bought it back and striped the car and it went to the junk yard and sat there for a few years until
somebody peeled back the white fur on the dash and saw the vin number and saved it from the junk yard and it was
passed around to 4 or 5 owners until I got it and restored it to the condition it is now.
I decided to restore it how I would of ordered it new. I got it as a shell and it came out of body shop that did
not finish it they replaced a frame rail due to setting on the ground and the roof skin was warped from the fire.
They also had partial quarters on it when I got it. I cut them off and put Good Mark full quarters on and finished
all the body work and did full rotisserie restoration and painted it with the help from the owner of Claydoe Custom
paint. That was 9 years ago. The interior is Legendary. The gauges are original with the clock and tac rebuilt and
work perfect. The motor is bored 30 over with sealed power forged pistons 6 pac rods and balancer and the hemi oil
pan with high volume pump oil psi is between 60 and 80 psi. The heads have stainless steel valves and hardened
seats and are set up to run super unleaded pump gas. The intake is the cast iron one with original Holley carbs
rebuilt by Pro-Max out of Indy. Motor runs great I have it set up with a Chrysler 4spd overdrive transmission with
the 4;10 gears it turns 2600 rpms at 70 So the car is very driveable I have been on 3 power tours with the car with
no problems would not be afraid to take it again tomorrow. It is a fun car to drive and take to shows and cruises.
The car is not a 100 point show car the paint has a few blemishes and nics and scratches and there is a small
bubble on the bottom of the driver door. As you can tell by the pictures it is beautiful car and shows very well
you can take it to any local show and take home a trophy. The under carrage is still shinny and looks great Last
year on the Hot Rod Power tour coming out of Madison. Wi.

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger
Sun, 23 Feb 2014When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
