1971 Dodge Challenger on 2040-cars
Danville, California, United States
|
71 Challenger that was built to run on the street. It does have a 70 grill (I just like the look more), but everything else is 71. Non-matching numbers, converted from column shifted automatic to overdrive 4 speed (A833) on the floor with pistol grip. Paint is new, but it is NOT show quality. Car was originally dark green with black vinyl top. Engine is fresh - I believe it was a 73 or 74 block, installed newly turned steel (forged not cast) crank, along with Scat Rods and KB pistons. Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock Manifold, Holley DP (850), MP 528 solid lifter cam, Harland Sharp roller rockers, Hooker SuperComp headers, 3" exhaust, Dynaflow mufflers. MSD ignition (6AL and coil). Motor has probably 300 miles on it total. New clutch and pressure plate installed with motor. Tranny mileage unknown, does leak a drop or two out of seals on side. Air shocks installed and functional (old school). Power steering installed, but not hooked up (no belt), so it's manual steering for all intents and purposes. 8.75 rear end, not sure on ratio (3.23?), sorry. No rust on car - as far as I know the car has always been in California and inland (not near the coast), so no salt air. I did replace the rear dutchman panel as I went through it, so there was rust there, but it's now gone obviously. I also replaced the front passenger fender. Originally a vinyl top car as shown by fender tag, no longer. New seat covers, carpet, headliner, dash cover. All instruments work (emergency brake light, speedo, tach, temp, fuel, voltage, + two additional gauges (oil pressure and engine temp)). Dash lights do not work at night, no horns. All exterior lights (headlights, high beams, parking, all side markers, etc) all work just fine. No radio/stereo in the car currently. Tires are in great shape all around, wheels are 10" rear and 7" front. Rear brakes have new pads, fronts were fine (drums all around). Cars runs at 180 all day, starts right up, etc. Runs hard. I do not have a build sheet. Note: front buckets will be changed out before auction end with those shown in pic of front of car so that front seat pattern matches rear. All new seatcovers front and rear.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat
Fri, 11 Jul 2014So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Wards 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.
