 Hi and thanks for looking. This is a great and original 1970 RT SE 440 U code Challenger. I am the third owner. The first owner from Washington State drove it from 1970-1981 and put on 53000 miles on it when he sold it to another gentleman in eastern Oregon where it sat in his personal from 1981-2004. I bought it in 2004 and it has sat in my heated garage since then and it now has 53700 miles so it has sat about 33 years. The good thing about that is it has not gotten all beat up over the years but the bad is everything leaked from drying out gaskets. So last year I started going through everything starting with the original engine. I sent it to a speed shop in Phoenix that does a lot of Mopar engines and had it baked ,tumbled,bored out with new pistons,rings,new purple 484 lift Mopar cam and lifters. The complete assembly was then balanced plus all new cam,rod and main Clevette 77 bearings and Melling high volume oil pump. The 906 heads were completely gone through with hardened seats and new springs,keepers etc. Also had the original Carter AVS carb rebuilt. The motor runs great. Next I had the 727 automatic rebuilt with a shift kit and new torque converter and it shifts great. Next I had the original rear end taken out and cleaned and resealed. It has the 489 case and Sur-Grip (Positrac) with the 3.55 gears. I then put new shocks painted black just like the originals were. I then put in a new exhaust system just like the original that was removed with the resonators and all. The tips are the original ones. I also put in a new gas tank and straps. I had the power steering box rebuilt the power steering pump rebuilt using the original casing. Then went through the entire AC system with rebuilt pump,new drier,new condenser,NOS heater valve,new heater core and had the evaporator cleaned and checked.also rebuilt the ac heater box with new foam kit and it looks great. This car also comes with the very rare space saver spare and jack assembly.The windshield was replaced a long time ago and is tinted as are all the rest of the original windows from the factory and they all look new.Inside the car is almost all original except for the new Legendary seat covers and foam that matched the original I took out. I still have the original seat covers that go with the car. The upholsterer through away the drivers seat because it had a tear in the seam but you get all I have. I also put in new carpet from Legendary but have the old if you want it as it was kind of faded. I also put in new door sills but everything else is original like the headliner door panels,kick panels, console, dash, rim blow steering wheel which I had redone by Mopar wheels in Arizona and they did a great job and the horn works great. The dash has never been out and all the gauges work fine but the clock will work for a couple of days and quite for a day so it will need cleaned at least and there is a small crack in the dash top by the center speaker.. It also has a thumbwheel AM FM radio that works. This car has 2 fender tags. This is from Galen Goviers report starting with E86-440 1-4 barrel 375hp V8 engine "440 MAGNUM" . D32 Torqueflite  Automatic Transmission. JS Dodge Challenger R/T.  29-2 door Sports Hardtop-Special edition.  U-440 1-4 BBL 375hp V8 engine.  O-1970 Model.  E-Los Angeles, CA Assembly Plant.

END-End of Fender Tag Codes. I forgot to say I also put on a new Legendary Vinyl top as the old one was a little faded at the bottom. Also the original buzzer for the key and if you leave the lights on still works fine. So here is a super nice and original 1970 R/T SE 440 U code with original paint and motor and almost everything else. I have driven this car about 390 miles in the last month and it is a blast which is 390 miles farther than it has been driven in the last 35 years. If you are looking for an rare and original R/T SE 440 that looks just like it did in 1970 and has not been all rusted out or a 318 car with a 440 or new hemi installed and all hacked up then this car is for you.If I have forgot something you can call me at 208 863 1430 my name is Doug. I am very realistic on the price for such a nice car. I am selling it because my daughter is getting her license and so there will be no room for this classic at my shop or home. I may be interested in a newer VW beatle conv, or a newer VW Jetta as partial trade. Thanks

Dodge reveals a few of the goodies in the Demon crate

Tue, Mar 14 2017

One of the teaser trailers for the eagerly anticipated Dodge Challenger Demon featured a big crate full of goodies for the car. As with the car, though, Dodge was a bit coy about what was inside, simply saying there were 18 items, consisting of tools and parts. Now we know what tools the car gets, and they're some very nice Snap-On pieces. All of the tools and accessories are branded with the Demon logo. And the tools included should be perfect for easy tire changes at the track. Specifically, the tools include a hydraulic jack, cordless impact wrench with charger, torque wrench, and a tire pressure gauge. There's also a fender cover to protect the paint when working under the hood, and a nice carrying bag with the Demon emblem on the side. And, naturally, all of the tools are limited-edition units made specifically to accompany the Demon. If you want to do anything more involved than wheel swaps, you'll need to supply a few tools of your own. But this should be good for the weekend drag racer or autocross driver who wants to drive down to the course on street tires, then throw on the sticky rubber at the track. Also, as you may have noted, these tools only constitute six items in Dodge's count, leaving 12 others that must be car parts. We know that among the parts are some factory Demon wheels, and items that Dodge describes as "Direct Connection Performance Parts" and the "Demon Track Pack System." Details on these remain scarce, but they will probably be revealed closer to the car's debut date of April 11. Related Video:

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.
