1971 Dodge Challenger 340 Conv ****
If you are
looking for great running and driving Mopar E-Body drop-top I challenge you to
find a better example under $40k. This was
born and raised H-code 340 Dodge Challenger convertible and it has GREAT documentation –
check out the details below!
This is one of the most optioned out E-body rag-tops ever built according to
Galen. Options include Power Steering, Power Front Disc Brakes, T/A
Challenger quick ratio steering box, AM-FM, Cassette Player- Recorder,
Power Windows, Power Top, Buckets, Console, very rare Chrome package,
Luggage Rack, etc. 20 years ago, during the restoration the previous owner
added the Go-Wing, a Tuff Wheel, and the Side Rallye Scoops. PAINT, BODY, FRAME &
SUSPENSION The car was restored
about 20 years ago and still presents itself pretty well. The technology of the
time was not what it is today. The rear quarters have been replaced, the trunk
drops were not available then so they remain original and in need of repair.
The typical E-Body Dutchman panel cracking is evident but not too bad. The
rockers where the quarters were welded could’ve been done better. There is a
spot on the driver’s door where the paint is cracked probably due to either bad
prep or filler. There is a patch in the trunk floor; there is rust in one of
the wheel houses and a small hole in the front frame rail on the passenger
side. All these issues have been like this since the car was purchased by the
current owner (15 years ago). The car looks, runs, drives, and handles
wonderfully and will bring the next owner many years of enjoyment. The suspension is all
good and functions as new and entire braking system is 100%, very solid, tight,
and the quick ratio steering makes the highway on ramps very fun! GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM The glass looks to be
original glass maybe with the exception of the windshield, all power windows
operate well and line-up perfectly. The front and rear bumpers are in very
good condition. The stainless trim is in great shape, the headlight
bezels, grille, emblems, and mirrors are all amazing. All lighting works; the
high/low beams, dome light, reverse lights, tail lights, parking lights, turn
signals, four-way flashers, glove light, trunk light, and the license plate
light. The top is in GREAT shape and looks new, glass rear window – the power
top operates very well, no issues there. The “parade boot” fits nicely and is
in good shape. The car has the jack assembly and space save spare with fill
canister.
INTERIOR The white vinyl interior
is 100% complete and in wonderful condition, mostly new from what I can see. The
seats have been recovered and new seat foams ensure your correct view over the
dashboard. The console and glove compartment doors operate well; the seat belts
all work, the dash lights are bright; all the gauges report in correctly, the AM-FM
radio and speakers all work great, the playing speed on the cassette seems a
bit slow, the wipers, horn, etc. all work well. The HVAC controls work on all
fan settings and blows hot, and the AC runs nice and cool. All factory gauges
work and operate correctly – these Rallye Gauge Clusters are great looking in
these cars.
DRIVE TRAIN The NOM 1970 340 has excellent
power and runs extremely smooth and is very easy to drive. The motor does
not smoke, tick or make any noises… again it runs great with no issues, it was
rebuilt to stock specs during the resto. The transmission is NOT the
original 727 transmission. It shifts excellent through the gears and is an
absolute blast to drive! If you get a little aggressive she’ll reward you
with a nice, firm, “chirp” in between the gears… The car stays cool even in
stop and go traffic. The 8-3/4” SureGrip rear-end is running a set of 3:55
gears and yes, being a SureGrip; it’s an “Posi” rear. Documents include TWO Fender tags, the ORIGINAL broadcast sheet (buildsheet), original sales brochure.

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.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Rare Dodge Daytona found in barn heads for auction
Tue, Dec 15 2015An American icon is headed to Mecum's Kissimmee, Florida auction next January. Charlie Lyons, owner of a restoration shop focused on old Chrysler products, got a lead on a two-owner 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona that had been sitting in a barn in Glenwood, Alabama for decades. Dodge built 560 Charger Daytonas (Canada and US production) to homologate the model for NASCAR racing, and then that car and the successor Plymouth Superbird terrorized NASCAR tracks for 18 months. The production car, however, 18 feet long and considered ugly, wasn't popular at the time, so many were beat up or simply disappeared. Around 385 are thought to exist today. Lyons said the first owner of this car was the town judge, who bought it for his wife. In 1974 the second owner - just 18 years old at the time - bought it for $1,800 so he could drive it to Panama City, Florida, for Spring Break, and had flames painted on the front fenders and the scallops trimmed in white. Otherwise this barn find is complete and stock, with matching numbers throughout, R4 Charger Red paint and a white tail, bucket seats, center console, three-speed TorqueFlite automatic, and 20,553 miles on the 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8. Hot Rod has the long story of how Lyons found the car and convinced the owner to sell for what he jokingly called "a shoebox full of folded money." Hagerty says a concours-worthy model can command $262,000. Mecum's pre-sale estimate for this Charger Daytona is $150,000 to $180,000. That sounds steep, but Mecum did sell another perfectly restored Hemi-powered 1969 Charger Daytona for $900,000 at this year's Kissimmee auction to actor David Spade. Related Video:
