71 Challenger 340 Convertible. This car is a great driver that you can take anywhere and it is enjoyable to drive. I have the original Numbers matching 340 currently sitting on an engine stand, it runs great! The only reason I took it out was because I took the car on the Power Tour and I did not want to worry about anything happening to the original engine. The engine that is currently in the car is a 70 340 that is bored .040 over and built to stock 70 specs with Powerjection III fuel injection setup on a Weiand Stealth intake. It has stock manifolds and TTI 2 1/2" Xpipe exhaust with Dynomax VT mufflers. It has working factory air conditioning that has been retrofitted with R-134a. The original radiator has been redone as a 4 core so even when you sit for hours in traffic in 100+ weather with the AC on there are no overheating issues.
When I bought the car it didn't have the original 727 with it so I took it out and replaced it with a Keisler automatic overdrive. The transmission works perfectly and even has a switch for an A and B calibration, one has smooth shifts and the other has much more firm shifting and higher shift points. With the original 3.55 sure-grip and 275/60/15 rear tires overdrive cruising at 70 mph is 2100 rpm and gets 20+ mpg.
The Steering box and pump were rebuilt by Firm Feel to there stage 2 setup, this summer I replaced all 4 shocks with KYB Gas-A-Just shocks, all new ball joints, tie rod ends, and had it aligned. It has the HD Rear suspension with both front and rear factory sway bars. Power brakes with front disc and rear drum, I just put on new front pads and calipers and turned the rotors and the rears have new shoes and freshly turned drums.
The factory color was GA4 Light Gunmetal with black side stripes. The spoilers on the car are original take offs from a Challenger TA, and the side scoops are original pot metal pieces from a RT. This is an older restoration, while it still looks good it has a few places where it is beginning to show its age. The seam behind the doors where the rockers meet the quarters is starting to swell up underneath the paint and I have noticed a few small bubbles on the lower area of the drivers door starting to show up. Also there is the typical E Body convertible crack in the panel in front of the trunk by the hinges. I know the floor pan has a patch in the drivers footwell and behind the passenger seat, also there is a patch in the trunk. The lower rear quarters were replaced when they painted the car, you can see the seam from inside the trunk.
The interior still has the original 3 speaker dash which is in great condition with just one very small crack at the corner of the center speaker. The seats are all in really nice condition and I believe that they may be the original seat covers also. It has Rallye Gauges that have been updated with the solid state voltage limiter, electronic tach board, and quartz clock from Real Time Engineering.
If you are interested in the car with the Original Numbers matching engine and a 727 transmission instead of the A41 and Fuel Injected 340 let me know and we should be able to work something out. Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions! Car is sold as is. Buyer is responsible for shipping, I am willing to assist with loading. If possible, I recommend viewing the car in person and please ask any questions before bidding. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Dodge Durango to stay classy with Ron Burgundy as spokesperson [w/video]
Sat, 05 Oct 2013The upcoming 2014 Dodge Durango has a lot of things going for it, including its 290-horsepower V6 and 360-hp Hemi V8 engine options, an eight-speed automatic and aggressive looks. And now it will have Ron Burgundy, the fictional television news anchor played by comedian Will Ferrell, as a spokesperson, Adweek reports. He follows in the footsteps of other non-fictional Chrysler brand spokespeople such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and the late Paul Harvey.
Though the star of 2004's Anchorman and the upcoming Anchorman 2 is wildly popular, we're not sure we see a Dodge spokesperson in Burgundy. (Please, no womanizing or scotchy, scotch, scotch before test test drives). But at this point there's no turning back: Chrysler's chief marketing officer Olivier Francois previewed three ad spots at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference in Phoenix on Friday, and says Chrysler has already filmed 68(!) Durango ads with the fictional newsman.
According to Adweek, one of the ads previewed had Burgundy highlighting the SUV's glovebox size, and in another he compared its horsepower to a white horse standing next to him. Will this help Dodge Durango sales improve? We can only wait and see. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in Comments, and check out the trailer for Anchorman 2 below.
Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad
Fri, 18 Apr 2014This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.
Dodge Journey gets more SUV-like look with new Crossroad model
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Looking to play up its aging three-row crossover, Dodge will introduce a new model for its Journey franchise at next week's Chicago Auto Show. The 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad will be a new trim level positioned between the SXT and Limited, and it will be distinguished from other Journey models thanks to a handful of styling add-ons.
Plucking a page right out of the appearance playbook of the Ford Explorer Sport, the Journey Crossroad gets a meaner, more SUV-like demeanor. The Journey has often straddled the line between tall wagon and crossover, but this new trim goes a long way toward skewing its visuals toward the utility vehicle end of the spectrum. That's thanks largely to the Platinum chrome exterior trim on its roof rails and side sills, unique fascias, smoked headlights and taillights and, of course, those black 19-inch wheels. Inside, the Journey Crossroad will get a similar treatment, with darker, Liquid Graphite accents throughout the cabin, and the model will also come standard with leather seats (which Dodge says are a new design), and Chrysler's giant 8.4-inch Uconnect screen.
The 2014 Journey Crossroad goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $24,995 (*not including $995 for destination) for the four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive model, but Dodge says that the model will also be offered with more power and capability from the optional 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and all-wheel-drive. Scroll down for the full press release, and check back next week for our live coverage from Chicago.
