I am selling my 1970 looking 1973 Dodge Challenger Project car simply because I have a new job and have very little time to finish the car now. The car is pretty much just a shell right now, everything has been taken off of the car. I have had the car since the fall of 2009, I have been working on it in my spare time over the years but I have a new job now and little free time to work on the car. The car is sitting on rollers just to move it around, the suspension has been completely removed. Any rusted areas were either cut out or sandblasted by myself.

The Body

I replaced the rusty 1973 fenders with new goodmark 1970/71 fenders, as well as 70/71 quarter panels and 1970 tail panel. The decklid and the hood are both new as well as the trunk floor and drop off's. The doors were in really good shape as was the roof, I welded two patches in the rear roof seams fully since mopars tend to flex and crack the bodyfiller back there. I used to do body work on cars in a restoration shop so I built this one right. I installed subframe connectors and patched the rear frame rails and added extra steel inside the rail itself. The body is nice and strait, I left it in White Sealer primer, all it needs is to be blocked lightly with 320 grit and then wet sanded and then she is ready for paint. This car can be finished in any color since white is a nice undertone especially for bright colors. I have had several pieces of the trim polished but not all of them. The car comes with a good looking 1970 Challenger Grille, new aluminum headlight bezels, 1970 rear tail light housing and lenses. I shaved the side markers shut and I have not drilled any holes in the hood or decklid for emblems.

The Engine

The 440 is a 1972 built motor, I decoded the car and found out that it used to be a 318 automatic car like most of them. I had the motor taken apart and machined professionally at a local shop here in Fargo. The motor has been dunked, honed and bored .30 over. It is unassembled, just a bare block. The pistons and the rods are together, the factory rods have been machined and balanced and I replaced the factory cast iron pistons with Keith Black Hyperutectic pistons. The crankshaft has also been balanced, I have a Lunatee Voodoo cam and lifter set that is good for 1500 to 6200 RPM's. I also have a pair of assembled Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads for the engine which would really up the horse power.

The Drivetrain

I have not had a chance to do anything with the drivetrain, it has an 8 and 3/4 rear end that I disassembled but the third member is still all together. The transmission is not for an E body car, it needs a different tail shaft in order for the shifter to line up where I welded the four speed tunnel hump.

The Steering

The car comes with all of the factory suspension parts plus I bought an E body specific Unisteer Rack and pinion kit that I have already fitted to the car and the factory column.

The Interior

I have all of the interior parts that I could salvage, dash parts, I have a custom cluster I built if the buyer wants it or he can just put the factory gauges in. The door panels and rear panels are in good shape but they need to be prepped and painted. The dash pad is toast so it will need a new one or a cover. The seats that come with the car are not Challenger seats but they look era correct, I built new mounts for them so they fit better in the car if the owner chooses to use them. The seats not only fold forward they also recline back. The car also comes with a center console and a pistol grip shifter.

I have the factory Ralley wheels with white letter Goodyear tires that will also go with the car.

I am sure I am forgetting something about the car, so if you have any questions about it feel free to e-mail me. Good luck bidding.

Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Japan seems willing to embrace a level of automotive insanity that many other places lack. Whether it's 1,200-horsepower Nissan GT-Rs blasting through tight, tree-lined mountain roads or advertisements with dances for the Toyota Prius Plug-in, the country definitely has a unique way of expressing a love for autos. The D-Van Grand Prix might be one of our favorite examples yet of crazy Japanese car culture, because the annual, one-make race at the Ebisu Circuit is exclusively for heavily customized Dodge vans. Like many great things, this wonderfully crazy idea came from a little rule breaking. D-Van Grand Prix organizer Takuro Abe was at a track event for a motorcycle racing school, and vans were used to haul the bikes around. During lunch someone came up with the idea for a race. Ignoring that the big machines weren't actually allowed on the circuit, the drivers headed out. The popularity has just grown since then. These days, the racing vans absolutely aren't the stock machines from the event's inspiration. In addition to stripped interiors and track rubber that you might expect, the list of mods for them is a mile long. For every possible advantage, the racers fit them with things like Brembo brakes, cross-drilled rotors, heavy-duty transmissions, and much more. Seeing vans lumbering around the track is very weird at first, but the racers take the competition very seriously. These folks even employ all sorts of little tricks to coax the most from the machines. This is a fascinating motorsports story, but be sure to turn on the subtitles to understand the interviews with the competitors.
