    Over the past 30+ years of selling cars this by far is my favorite..It started out as a 318 automatic challenger convertible, have 2 factory build sheets to go along with the car. It was owned for a long time owner in North Carolina for many years before it was purchased back in 2007 when the restoration of the car took off. I will tell you that a Dodge mechanic of 20+ years owned and restored this vehicle to the condition it is in now. He searched a long time for a solid e-body to build his dream car and after years of looking at over 30 cars he had finally found this solid Challenger.

 This car was taken down as far as you can go with and started back from the ground up. It is about 95% done now and is by far and away the best E body I have driven in, ever. The car now sports a period correct 440-6 pack motor that has some work done to push the horse power level to a estimated 450 or so. The car looks to be all stock but when you here it through the 3" TTI exhaust and those factory tips you know it has a bit more the a stock 375 horsepower back in the day. So, the motor, trans and rear have less then a 1000 miles on it since the car was 95% finished in 2010. The trans has a small 2600 stall speed converter and the rear is redone with a 3.91 posi rear. The car has factory Air condition that works and you can see the air filter was notched out in the front to help clear the A-C.

 It has a 1" spacer to lift the carbs up a little to clear for the a-c, the fuel tank, lines, brake lines, hoses, wheel cylinders and so on are all new back in 2010 also. The car still has the Original white top with no tears and he decided to leave that top on. It will come with a new white top in the box with a new rear window (have the original glass window on the car), it will also come with the white side RT stripes and RT hood logo in white..I decided not to put these on and will let the new owner decide if they want them on..As you can see in the pictures the floors, behind the door panels, everything was painted and cleared coated with no short cuts taken..I wont even tell you how much this paint job cost, lets say it was over $10,000..

 I will add a video tonight sometime when I can so you can get a true look at this car and hear it run. Open to offers to close the auction at anytime, as you can see in pictures this car is a one of a kind..I drove this car 30 miles from work and was stopped 3 times while I was driving to be asked all kind of questions. I am sure I am forgetting a few things but I will add more information later so please look again so you can watch the video and read more about it. I have the 71 wood steering wheel also to go with the car, am radio was just set in the hole for pictures, will try and get mounted before the end of the auction..

  Paint is a 9.8 out of 10, body 100% perfect, interior is 90% done still has the original front and rear seat covers, has the original dash with a small 1 in crack ( hard to see) just a awesome car..If it does not sell I will be adding the stripes on it and driving it for the summer time..No need to sell..But a must have for a collector..  .Do not miss this one guys - gals..  

  Front end suspension all redone, front and rear sway bars, the rear springs were new all done in 2010..This car is a must see..The sun was not out in most of these pictures so if you want better pictures I have some on my cell phone I can text or email you more. Do not lose out on this car, you will never see another one with the color contrast of the Green and White interior like this...Thank you. I recently did new weather stripping on the doors, the door and window moldings, door sill plates, sun visors, the spare is a nos unit, and canister  is a re-pop, new seat backs for the buckets, new trunk mat is on the way also, car was done right..Very little to do.. Car comes with New top if you wanted to put it on, how many left with the original top and rear glass, and original windshield?   Needs just the rear convertible panels repainted ( called just dashes to do but did not want to wait 12 weeks ) speedo cable just broke, am radio hooked up, that's it..Wont find a nicer one..One of One color combo...White stripes come with the car.. Will entertain all serious offers as the car can be sold locally.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPW94nh4qDg               There are 2 videos..1 here and 1 on the bottom.




:

     To answer a few questions...The original color was dark green, of course it was taken all the way down and painted and every inch of the car was repainted and cleared. I just updated 2 pictures outside in the Sun for a better idea how this car shines and the color really pops in the Sun. The pictures do not do this car any justice, it is a must see in person. I have sold alot of cars here, hemi's and 440-6 cuda, Gto Conv, 70 Rebel Machine with 11,000 original miles, this car hands down is the nicest one to date.   You tube videos...Thumbnail

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

Subaru Impreza WRX, Dodge Charger police car from 'Baby Driver' are for sale

Mon, Aug 21 2017

Fans of " Baby Driver," now is your chance to own some seriously cool bits of movie memorabilia. Allpro Subaru is currently selling two of the cars from the film. The first is one of the red Subaru Impreza WRXs that were used for some of the film's signature stunts, which made the red rally sedan the de facto hero car of the movie. There were a number of stunt cars used to represent the hero car, including a modified WRX and an STI with a WRX wing. This particular one, a 2006 model, is a little more interesting, as it was the one that was converted to rear-drive to make it easier to complete stunts with it. According to the description, it also has a turbocharger from a 2004 STI to make more power, which fits what stunt driver Jeremy Fry told us. The description reveals other interesting tidbits. The car does have a clean title and has 158,000 miles on it. Obviously some of those miles were a bit rough, and the description notes that the stunt driving has led to some cosmetic defects. The AutoCheck vehicle history report reveals more. Apparently this Impreza WRX led a rough life before filming, as it had four mild to moderate crashes reported. It also appears that it will need the Takata airbag replaced. But on the plus side, this car is a unique piece of car and film history, and its rear-drive layout should make it interesting to drive. On top of that, it also has a leather interior that appears to be in good shape. View 5 Photos You'd better have a healthy bank account before trying to buy this WRX. As of writing, the bidding has reached $40,300. If that's too pricey, though, Allpro Subaru has yet another car from the movie. It's a 2011 Dodge Charger police car in Atlanta, Ga. police livery, complete with a V8. It's also pretty thoroughly wrecked, though the description says that it is drivable. Based on the bullet holes in the windshield, the Charger appears to be the one used in the (mild spoiler alert) final showdown between Baby and Buddy. But because this car is much less famous and in far worse shape, it's also much cheaper. Bidding has only reached $3,000 at the time of writing.

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.  The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.
