1970 Dodge Challenger R/t Convertible "public Relations Car!!" 440 Auto. Loaded! on 2040-cars
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
|
This is not only one of the very rare (1 of 127) 1970 Challenger R/T convertibles built with a 440 Magnum & 727 auto., it has the very desirable "Q" on the original fender tag which makes it a very rare "PUBLIC RELATIONS CAR" & highly collectible . There were only about 5 of these built!
Public relations cars were very limited production & were built to showcase a new model. Most came in very loud colors & nearly every option available. Chrysler used them for various forms of promotion like......major auto shows, displays in an high-traffic area, T.V. commercials, T.V. shows, posters, given to v.i.p.'s, magazine road tests etc.. After they were used by Chrysler, they were usually sold through a "Chrysler-dealer-only sale". Galen Govier has done a full inspection to verify this cars authenticity (full report is included with the car). It does have it's original engine, original fender tags, original vin tag, original body numbers, original door vin decal & retains all its correct options. This "rotisserie" restoration was just completed & the car has less than 20 miles since done. No options were deleted or added- it was restored to it's original P.R. trim....440 Magnum, 727 torqueflite auto., 3.55 sure-grip rear end, FE5 red paint, white conv. top, white side stripe, hood pins, dual painted ext. mirrors, luggage rack, chrome exh. tips, SE ext. trim, 14" road wheels, white letter poly glass tires, air conditioning, pwr. top, pwr. steering, pwr. disc brakes, pwr. windows, cruise control, rim-blow steering wheel, AM/FM, rally gauges w/tach, woodgrain console & bucket seats, 6-way drivers seat, deluxe seat belts, delayed headlights, light package & I'm probably forgetting something. Everything works except the air has not been charged yet. I located the gentleman that owned this car for about 5 years in the late 70's & as it turns out, he lives about 50 miles from me. He (Ted) came by for a visit after I contacted him & was good enough to bring an 8 x 10 color copy of a photo of this car in the 1976 Omaha autorama car show to add to the folder! I also have an original carbon copy of a letter he wrote to Chrysler customer service on March 5th 1977 asking about the car's rarity & collectability and, I also have a copy of the letter they wrote him 3 weeks later!! It basically states they can't comment on the value etc. & gives basic info on challenger convertables. He knew this was a very special & rare car even when it was only 7 years old!! Ted sold it in about 1980 to a person in Arizona where it sat in a garage until about 7-8 years ago, then to Kansas where the restoration was started a couple years ago. The pictures don't do it justice- it is VERY nice!! I'm able to provide personal, prompt, enclosed delivery and/or willing to arrange transport. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks- Paul 402-202-2263. I may take a partial trade (realistic trades), i.e. other muscle cars, hemi parts, freshwater bass/fish-ski boat?, 1985 & older motorcycles?? Thanks again |

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns
Thu, 16 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
