1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible Jh27c0 1 Of Only 91 Made With 3 Speed on 2040-cars
Bangor, Maine, United States
|
This is a 1970 Challenger Convertible that is a factory 6 cylinder car with a 3 speed manual trans. They only made "91" 6 cylinder 3 speed manual challenger ragtops in 1970. The original /6 is long gone. The original 3 speed manual trans is still in the car with all linkage hooked up. The car has an 8 3/4 in it now. No idea what is has for gear ratio as we have not checked. The challenger comes with a 1972 340 engine. The prior owner stated it is a forged crank 340. Engine needs a complete rebuild and I have no history on the motor except that is came out of a Challenger. This convertible is a project car. A project car that is located in the Northest and has probably spent a considerable amount of time here. It has most of the convertible specific parts and they are in pretty nice shape with exception of the sunvisors. The rear view mirror bezel is missing. The car is a power top car and the convertible motor is still in place. The lines are however cracked and therefore the top now goes up and down by hand. The convertible frame appears to be in very nice condition. The convertible windshield trim inner and outer is very nice. The rear convertible trim is there as well and only needs a couple dings banged out and repolished. The convertible rear door panels have speaker holes in each one. One is brown and has been dyed, the other is an original black one. The rear convertible seat has a solid frame and also has the boot channel intact. The car comes with a new convertible white top with glass back window. The seat cores are in good condition. Front door panels are very nice. The side glass is in pretty good shape with minimal scratches. It has all the convertible specific glass. The front windshield is there but will probably need a new one. The body needs considerable work. The rear of the car was hit as some point and the tailight panel is tweaked as you can see in the pics. At the the time of the accident it must have went off the road as the rear frame rails are bent towards the end of the car. The car needs a whole new trunk floor and extensions so ideally the car should have the one piece trunk floor and frame rails assembly offered from Dynacorn installed as you will cure the frame rail issues and sheet metal at the same time. It is only $1300 for this piece and will cure the two aforementioned issues. The floorpans needs replacing as well. The cowl has a portion replaced around the booster area that was cut out of another challenger but was not welded in yet. The front frame assembly is very straight and solid. The inners fenders have been worked at some point and show signs of excessive bodywork. They should be replaced. The fenders, doors and quarters have all been patched and are in rough condition. The challenger hood looks ok and the trunk lid is useable as well. The car is a major project however is a good starting point and has 99% of the hard to find convertible parts included. The car come with a radiator core. The heater box is also in very good condition. There are some extra parts that will be included in the trunk consisting of vents, original weatherstripping front valence, etc. The 340 engine will be installed in the engine bay for transport only. It will not be running. The car has the original fender tag, and all body numbers match the VIN. There is no broadcast sheet. I am listing this car for my brother as he has decided to focus on a different car he is restoring. THE WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE CHALLENGER ARE NOT INCLUDED. THEY GO ON MY CAR AND ARE ONLY USED FOR ROLLERS CURRENTLY. The car will have four rollers that hold air installed on the car upon shipping. There is NO title for this car. Titles are not needed in Maine and this car has been in storage for 20 years. The owner will be provided a valid maine registration and bill of sale. This will typically be enough to register a car in your state. Do your due dilligence prior to bidding. Please come and inspect the car if you are concerned with its condition. It is a major project but a worthy restoration candidate. There is no brakes and does not run consider that when setting up a shipping company.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
2015 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak previewed
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Dodge 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.
Chrysler almost smothered the Hellcat before it lived
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.
