1971 Dodge Challenger Classic Mopar Muscle Resto-mod (number's Matching) on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
|
This 1971 Dodge Challenger is a #2 show car with numbers matching engine, transmission & chassis. For comparison, a #1 show car is a museum piece that is not driven but rather trailered to concourse shows. This beautiful Challenger is one step down from a #1 concourse museum show car - a real fast beauty that you can drive & take to car shows. It's always a crowd favorite. This classic Mopar muscle show car is the proud recipient of countless car show awards including best of show, best paint, best engine, best interior, best muscle car, etc. This is a solid California car with all original body panels & only minor metal replacement needed during the restoration near the rear wheels & below the rear windshield. Front windshield has been replaced & all other glass is good. This Mopar muscle street machine is more of a restomod than anything, despite the matching numbers. Countless performance upgrades make this 318/323cid LA smallblock engine, which was bored .030" over during the rebuild, a force to be reckoned with on the street with more horsepower than even the 440 six pack Mopars (395HP) that came from the factory back in the day. This smallblock engine puts out a stout 400HP & has excellent 3.55 sure grip street gears to get all that power to the pavement when you want it most. The engine has nearly double the power that it came with from the factory. Under the hood is pure eye candy with all the power & authority to back it up. With DOT BFGoodrich street legal slicks this car has run consistent 13.6 second quarter mile times at over 102 mph at the local drag strip & I have the time slips to back it up. The DOT slicks are no longer on the car but have been replaced with new BFGoodrich radial TA's, installed on genuine new Cragar-SS 7"X15" chrome wheels. The engine is very responsive & still ultra-fresh with only 5000 miles since the meticulous rebuild (See engine performance upgrade specs below). Every circuit of the fuel curve in this engine has been mapped with a computer & tuned to just the right specs for the most power when it's needed & good fuel economy at idle or when you're cruising. The interior is custom restored with all the original stock furniture, panels & controls with the addition of a nice 200W Pioneer CD player stereo. The only items not restored inside are the dashboard, seatbelts & dimmer switch. The interior dimmer switch for the dome light does not work properly. This is a very easy fix. Everything else inside was either replaced or restored. Inside there is a new headliner, new carpet, new seat foam & custom two tone vinyl seat covers with cloth inserts, new custom cloth & vinyl upholstery on the stock door panels, new upholstery on all interior panels, sun visors, rear interior deck, custom floor mats, & new burgundy paint on all the metal interior molding. The center console has also been repainted with burgundy vinyl paint & the chrome/woodgrain console insert was covered in the same burgundy pearl paint to match the outside of the car. The outside is PPG Burgundy Berry Pearl base-clear paint in excellent condition with only very minor blems & a few tiny nicks. This car is a driver, not a trailer queen, so it’s got some character road dust underneath & some tiny nicks on the lower rear quarters from doing burnouts at the drag strip. Brakes, master cylinder, brake lines, BFG TA/Radial tires, water pump, fuel pump & steering box are all new or rebuilt to the highest specs. A new heater core comes with the car but does not yet need replaced. The trunk has been painted, undercoated & detailed moderately (Nothin fancy in the trunk). All chrome has been re-chromed & the front grille is custom painted with great attention to detail & enough modifications to make it unique. The drivetrain specifications & performance upgrade details are listed below. See list below for all the performance upgrades throughout the car. Please contact me if you would like more details or to answer any questions you might have. I can also send more pictures if necessary, but please be specific about which items you want pictures of.
Due to errors in the previous listing of this awesome Mopar, the previous auction ad has been deleted & relisted with corrections. Even though bidding had not yet reached my reserve price, Ebay would not allow me to delete the erroneous information due to website policy. Therefore I deeply regret having to delete & relist my ad. Being clear & accurate in my ad both for the sake of legitimate bidders & my own feedback rating is of the highest priority to me as an Ebayer. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience this has caused for my valued bidders & hope that you understand. |

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
Aficionauto drives Vin Diesel's fast and furious 1970 Dodge Charger
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The Aficionauto host Christopher Rutkowski has a real passion for original and replica cars from movies and television, whether they are from James Bond, Jurassic Park, or incredibly obscure Japanese shows. However, he might have outdone himself this time because he hopped into one of the biggest automotive stars of contemporary cinema. This 1970 Dodge Charger appeared in Fast & Furious and came back in Fast Five, where Paul Walker actually drove it. The menacing, black muscle car will make its return to the franchise in the seventh film, too.
The Fast and Furious Charger is a real beast no matter how you look at it. The interior is nothing more than two seats and a roll cage, and as the video shows, this thing vibrates constantly like a coiled mass of muscle ready to strike. The camera can barely stay in place most of the time. Also, Dom's Dodge is more than happy to do a smoky burnout and leave the driver partially deaf afterward from its wonderful, ear-splitting engine roar.
The Aficionauto also interviews the man who controls the keys to this beast. Bob Hartwig was once an F-15 pilot, but he also loved Hollywood vehicles. Now, he's a partner at Picture Car Warehouse, a company with about 850 cars that supplies vehicles to film studios. This Charger definitely seems to be Hartwig's favorite in the collection, as it should be.
Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?
Tue, 19 Nov 2013The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.
