First off, This is not an original convertible ! It started off as a 1971 2 dr hardtop Challenger. 383 4 spd blue non R/T. This is an orig. export car that spent its life in Lebanon. Don't know anything about the conversion. Could have been done there or somewhere in the states, not sure. The car still looks very presentable, and is considered driver quality. The car sat in a heated garage for 15 years and not driven. I purchased the car 4 or 5 years ago and finally got it running and have only driven it maybe 2-300 miles. No time and have moved on to next project. The trunk and floors appear to be very solid.Some glue residue from carpet being glued in. I think it had front floor pans installed also . When the conversion was done, they definately had a donor convertible for parts, as most everything from that car was used. Looks good from outside. Could have spent a little more time with some of the brackets and stuff behind rear seat, but isn't terrible. , only missing a few things, such as a convertible back seat, rear panels are repops and are green. Not factory style carpet, should be replaced. Top is in good shape, although the motor for the top does not work. I have put the top down manually, but it doesn't go all the way down because it has the wrong backseat.I think it still has hdtp side windows too. Dash and front door panels are descent driver quality, Check out the kph speedo ! When was the last time you saw one of these? Outside of the car looks good,( not perfect) It does have scratches here and there and a some imperfections. The door and fender gaps could have been tighter also. Bumpers could use a rechrome and the grill has a few small cracks near the tabs, like most of them do. Tail lights are nice. Driver and pass. windows are scratched too.
Motor is a non numbers matching 383 4bbl from a 1971 dodge pickup. Runs ok, but rear main leaks, needs possible clutch work, exhaust needs replaced. Brand new tires, 15x7 wheels in front and 15x8 in back. Rear is 3.91 non posi. Frame ties were also installedCheck out the pics, should help with a lot of questions. My reserve is set at half what it would cost to purchase a real convert in similar condition. In my honest opinion, I think if a person was to stick $3-4000 in this car you would have a nice e-body drop top driver. I hope I didn't make the car sound too bad, just want to be as honest as I coan. I have had a lot of people look at the car and cant believe it was converted. I wish I knew the complete history of this car. The only story I got was it was in Lebanon and was used as a wedding car. Not sure what that means, but the story should stay with the car. $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hrs. and the balance is due via money order or cashiers check within 7 days. If not vehicle will be relisted. I don't care to hear about a death in the family, or any bad circumstance in your life. I have enough grief of my own and don't want to add to it. Thank you. Also, I will be out of town from the 5th to the 8th of September. I also took a short video of the car running. If you would like to see this I can try and email it to you. I couldn't get it to load. Thanks PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE? IF YOU DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE BIDDING PLEASE DONT. CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION ANYTIME !!!!! On Aug-30-14 at 19:33:19 PDT, seller added the following information: Had a question about storage and shipping. I can store the car inside for a reasonable amount of time, but I would like to discuss the situation prior to the end of the auction. As far as shipping, I will assist in helping load the car on a transporter. Setting up the shipper and the cost of shipping will be the new owners responsibility if the reserve is met. Also like I said in description, I will be out of town from the 5th to the 8th of sept. So please don't wait till the last minute to ask questions. Thanks again |

2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit prepares to keep Hellcats in line
Wed, 13 Aug 2014Earlier today, Dodge pulled the wraps off its 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat - a 707-horsepower sedan capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 204 mph. Naturally, the car debuted in a bright shade of pull-me-over red, so it was fitting, then, that Dodge also brought its newly updated 2015 Charger Pursuit to keep everything under control.
No, cops won't be able to spec their Charger cruisers with the 707-hp Hellcat engine (oh man, imagine the chase scenes...), but law enforcement officials will be able to choose from either a 3.6-liter V6 or 5.7-liter Hemi V8, producing 292 hp and 370 hp, respectively. V8 models can be ordered with all-wheel drive, and Dodge estimates that with either engine, the Charger Pursuit can achieve up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway (thanks to the V8's four-cylinder mode).
Other updates for 2015 include improved braking power, a seven-inch display in the instrument cluster, a five-inch display in the center stack, and a new vehicle systems interface that could make it easier for police squads to install computer and radio equipment.
NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure
Mon, 30 Jun 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.
Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
