This auction is for one 1970 Dodge Challenger incomplete project car. It is a real A66 340 performance package car with its original engine, 727 transmission, radiator, complete dash assembly, steering column with keys & heater box. It still has its original fender tag which is rusty but readable from the backside and its build sheet that's in very nice condition. As seen in the pictures it is a rolling chassis that has rust issues from front to back and top to bottom. It doesn't retain its original rear axle assembly but it does have an E-body 8 & 3/4" out of another car with an open center section. It is an original 4 wheel drum brake car but I have installed an original 1970 E-body front disc brake assembly that includes spindles, two piece rotors and calipers. The engine is disassembled but complete except for exhaust manifolds and air cleaner. I had the block hot tanked and magnafluxed to verify that it is a good rebuildable core and that it is. 
It is an original FK5 Burnt Orange car inside and out with a black top and tail stripe. Most of The interior is missing but it was a console shifted automatic car. The doors are original to the car and are in useable condition with minimal rust but one is damaged as shown in the pics. Unfortunately somebody cut out the top yoke of the radiator core support that had the body numbers stamped on it but I'll include a nice whole core support that was removed from another vehicle. It still retains the body numbers that are stamped on the cowl, the vin tag on the dash and the door vin decal on the driver's side door. The trunk lid on it is rust-free and comes with the early, non-crumple zone Rallye hood shown in the pics and is also rust-free. Also included is a nice front bumper with brackets but no grille, headlight bezels or fenders.
I originally intended to restore this car myself but that is no longer my plan as I have too many other projects and nowhere near enough time to do them all. I have a lot of parts that I have picked up over the years for this car that are NOT included in this auction but will be available for sale to the high bidder so if you don't see it in the pics or listed in the description, it's not included in this auction.
I have registered this car with Galen Govier and those documents are included in this auction. It is 1 of 3,771 340 single four barrel automatics built in 1970. 
This would be one very nice Mopar when restored and with all of the original equipment and documentation I think it deserves to be saved.
I am open to shipping this car anywhere in the world but I am not responsible for making any of those arrangements and shipping is not included in this auction. All of the parts that are included would fit inside the car except the hood which would have to be strapped to the front of the car which I will do for the new owner if not a local pick up.
The car is located in the Detroit area.
A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours through Pay Pal and the balance to be paid in cash if you're going to pick it up within 7 days or by certified funds or bank wire transfer within 7 days of the end of the auction. I will not release the car until it is paid in full and all funds have cleared.
The reserve is pretty low in my opinion and I will not reveal the reserve unless you have made a bid.
Please feel free to contact me with any more questions you might have.

Houston road rage incident devolves into all-out brawl

Tue, May 17 2016

The video is no longer available. It appears the associated account has been terminated. Chaos erupted on a Houston freeway last weekend when an altercation spiraled out of control and ended up in a battle-royale style brawl in the middle of traffic. According to KTRK, David Dao and his daughter were traveling along FM 1960 on the morning of May 14 when they came upon a white Honda and a blue Ram truck parked in the right lane. The drivers and passengers of the vehicles were engaged in a spirited argument about something that had happened moments before Dao pulled up. Dao parked in his lane to block traffic in an attempt at making sure other drivers didn't hit the people fighting in the right lane, and instructed his daughter to start filming the incident in case they were needed as witnesses. As Dao's daughter filmed, the incident quickly escalated–harsh words were exchanged, a drink was thrown in a woman's face, and then the driver of the Ram kicked in the Honda's grille. "I couldn't believe it. As soon as he kicked the grille, I was like, 'This is going down now," said Dao. "I was thinking this is going to be bad. At that time, I knew because there was physical damage." As soon as the Ram driver kicked the Honda the entire situation went sideways and devolved into a huge brawl, with the people from both vehicles throwing wild punches and grappling with one another. A woman who was a passenger in the Ram attempted to break up the scrum but took a haymaker in the face for her troubles. Eventually, the fight broke up and the people returned to their vehicles which Dao assumed meant that the altercation was over. Apparently though, the Ram driver felt he hadn't made his point, and he reversed at high speed into the Honda, smashing the fascia and buckling the hood. The Ram then sped off westbound on U.S. 290 with the Honda on its tail. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the incident was not reported and there is no word what happened to the brawlers after they left the scene.

2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.
