1970 Dodge Challenger R/t 426 Hemi on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 Hemi w/slapstick auto trans. The car has 34300 orig. miles on the odo and has not been on the road since 1975. It has been covered on blocks in a garage since that time. Interior because of that is in superb condition with only a small wear mark at the drivers left foot floor resting position, a bit of lightening of the driver’s door panel were the drivers arm rested on the sill and armrest also the headliner while undamaged in any way is pillowing in places. The exterior is straight BUT the car has had the paint, due I assume to needing some body work, redone on both sides of the car blended to the un-redone hood and trunk. As you can look at all of the big panels on these old muscle cars, the rear quarters and front fender inner‘ds can be looked at and no bodywork is evident. On the passengers door a scratch does reveal what could be either a primer/filler or sanding mark coat of body filler having been applied. I ran my CCTV scope inside both doors and if they were body worked you can’t tell were. Something has been done but since the original owner has passed we can only speculate. It has the shopping cart marks, for want of a better phrase, of a car that was until 1975 just a daily driver. Remember you are looking at what the car IS now, back then, it was just a car. The biggest issue as far as the car being a “Barn Find” dream is this; it DOES NOT HAVE MATCHING NUMBERS. The engine and transmission were replaced in early 1971 with a factory short block that has been massaged a bit, Iskenderian cam and lifter kit, Crower roller chain timing, Mallory Dual Point Ign. / Distributor. Also the oil lines where done up in Aeroquip and the pan oversized by 2 1/2 ”. The interior of the engine has all been de-flashed and coated for faster oil drain back. The orig. four barrel carbs were replaced with the racing versions but retained the progressive linkage that came stock including the trans kick-down linkage. Before I even turned the engine it was filled with 9+ gallons of oil held at 150 degrees F. for two days, then an electric drive motor ran the oil pump for an hour, then I rolled the engine over by hand for fifty revolutions. After that because the Torque-Flite B&M trans has a back pump, I turned the output shaft at a gradually increasing rate until it stalled by trying to turn the engine over. If you are old enough you will remember you COULD push start the old automatics, until it was cheaper to take out the back pumps. After the cooling system was cleaned, which other than some light dirt scale from being dry so long, it was refilled with 50/50 coolant, pressure tested to 20psi. With a fresh fill of high zinc and phosphorus break in oil and new filter she was ready for start-up. The points in the Mallory are perfect and just a dab of lube was all that was needed there, two pumps on the throttle and she roared, literally, into life. I let her come up to temp, new thermostat, and then raised her on the hoist until the wheels were free of the ground, put it in drive and let it free run for about 20 minutes to check for heat and or leaks, none were found. Next came the test drive, and man let me tell you, if you have never had the thrill of a 426 Hemi, it is a rush and a half. Granted, you twist her tail and you will have her tail coming right around you. She is a hand-full and NOT for the faint of heart. This is an opportunity to own not only a piece of history, but have a choice to go with it. Because it is not a matching number car the price tag is in a much lower range. A 1970 Hemi Cuda barn find, 15k less miles and matching numbers just sold at auction for $1.3 million. You’re going to save a bundle on this car. It is perfect for the person that wants to do a ground up because the ground is not that far away, OR, you can have the coolest “Daily driver” around just the way she is. I have posted a YouTube video; it takes you on a tour over and under the car. The link is as follows; http://youtu.be/or4tBh6Vw8g After you take the tour, AND you are serious about the car and need/want more info, M-F 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. MDT I can be reached at (801) 637-1812. I strongly suggest that you or your agent come look at the car In Person. The car is NOT perfect but remember she is 44 years old, and she still can kick ass on most anything on the street. This car is so good that I would NOT for one moment hesitate to drive it cross country. I would recommend however that you have it trucked to you, heavily insured. But you could do it, and it would be a road trip for the ages. Last thing here, and in payment details, I have title in hand, free and clear, PLEASE READ THIS PART CAREFULLY, There will be a 5% Buyers Premium ADDED to the end price of the car. I am brokering the car for the owner and they have agreed to split the normal 10% with the buyer. This is NOT negotiable and must be paid separately by the purchaser before ANY paperwork changes hands, period. If this is an affront to you, do not participate, simple as that. Good luck, and do not hesitate to ask questions, here or by phone. |

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.

Viper owners raising money to retake the Nurburgring lap record
Thu, Jan 19 2017Nurburgring lap times – unofficial as they may be – are the locker room comparison contest of the automotive world. For several years, the lap record of 7:12:13 was held by a 2011 Dodge Viper ACR. The Viper and America were the rulers of the roost until the usurper, the Porsche 918, came in a stole the crown. The death knell is ringing for the Viper, and a group of owners are raising money to send the car to the 'Ring for one last chance at glory. The current Dodge Viper ACR is an astonishingly capable car. All of the flaws that make it miserable to live with everyday - stiff suspension, obnoxious exhaust, speed-bump-gouging splitter - make it one of the most formidable road-legal track machines ever created. Unfortunately, that single-purpose nature turned off a lot of customers, and slow sales have led to the end of Viper production. The Viper holds lap records on more than a dozen of tracks, but, like a driver winning the Indianapolis 500, only one belt notch truly matters. The ViperExchange is willing to supply two ACRs and two drivers well versed in the Nurburgring in order to retake the record. The problem with attempting to set the record is mostly down to logistics. According to the GoFundMe page, the total cost to send the cars, pay for the track, the supplies, and operating expenses is about $150,000 and $200,000. The group says this is entirely a volunteer effort and are asking for donations to fund the Viper's return. Those wishing to help replant the stars and stripes and fill the forests of Germany with the truck-like roar of an odd-firing V10 can donate online. If they fall short, donations will be returned.
