Vehicle came out of Auburn Indiana. Purchased at the Auction America auction at Auburn Auction Park. Previous owner did a body-on restoration on the vehicle sometime in the early 2000s and has kept meticulous records of almost every single part purchased for the Challenger (I have a folder two inches thick full of receipts/documents/service history, etc.).  It has been mechanically completely rebuilt so it runs/drives good and can be driven anywhere. 

Vehicle has a VERY SOLID BODY. Doors open and close perfectly. Body is very straight down the sides with very few if any ripples. Seems to have all original body panels except for one lower quarter patch by rear driver's side quarter panel, with new sheetmetal, otherwise the rest seems to be all original. This is a VERY NICE car and has had a quality paintjob done to it a few years ago that has held up very well and looks fantastic.

Under the hood lies a COMPLETELY REBUILT and PROFESSIONALLY ASSEMBLED and built 440ci/375hp MAGNUM motor that has been upgraded with a ton of name brand parts and go-fast goodies. Everything looks virtually brand new under the hood and is definitely a sight to behold. Most if not all receipts for parts purchased are available as well. Upgrades include aluminum intake, Holley 4bbl. double-pumper carburetor, MSD billet distributor, MSD style control box, performance plugs/wires/coil, Flowmaster dual exhaust, and tons of accent goodies as well. 

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears. Brakes have been completely overhauled and stop on a dime! Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds great and is very responsive with a little play in the steering wheel. I would not hesitate to fly in and drive the car home anywhere in the country, as it is that reliable. 

Interior is virtually all stock with custom red/black inserts in the seats (I CAN HAVE THEM REDONE TO STOCK FOR EXTRA FEE IF DESIRED). NO rips in the seats. Excellent headliner. Carpet is very nice. Door panels very nice. Dash is good with a couple of surface cracks. Good steering wheel. Very good console. Overall a beautifully presentable interior for a high-end driver.

Chrome is fairly nice overall. Front bumper guards were removed on the car to give it a cleaner look.

Underside actually appears to be in PRETTY SOLID shape throughout. Floorboards appear very nice and solid with NO holes or large rot areas anywhere I was able to find. A couple of areas have undercoating that is peeling, other than that they are very nice.  Frame and frame rails appear EXCELLENT. VERY SOLID trunk as well, with full size spare as well as an extra rally rim, and jack. 

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT shape with BEAUTIFUL shine but is not brand new and has a few minor imperfections from driving. Some minor chips here and there. Not working: clock, gauges seem to be working fine otherwise, perhaps may need a bulb or two replaced where needed. Missing: fender tag, dome light plastic lens, a/c parts (removed but available). Trunk could use some detailing. Front bumper is presentable but could be replaced if you really wanted it to pop. Not much else I can fault on this car other than really neat picky stuff.

I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 40 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a BEAUTIFUL LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives FANTASTIC, then this is the car for you. If you want a concourse correct show car, it will need a considerable amount of work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.

Autoblog Minute: 2016 Dodge Charger pursuit vehicle gets Uconnect 12.1

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Dodge introduces new tech into its 2016 pursuit vehicles that even Jake and Elwood couldn't outrun. Autoblog's Adam Morath reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Dodge introduces new tech into its 2016 pursuit vehicles that even Jake and Elwood couldn't outrun. I'm Adam Morath and this is your Autoblog Minute. The 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles are getting Uconnect 12.1. The system's new laptop size touch screen will be dash mounted and at 12.1" is 5 times larger than the current Uconnect 5.0 system. Features of Uconnect 12.1 [00:00:30] include an all-new drag and drop menu bar and Siri Eyes Free. No clunky laptops needed because the system is ergonomically located in the dash. The SRT pursuit vehicles will also be getting 370 hp, factory-installed Mopar upfit packages and an advanced all-wheel-drive system for maximum tactical performance, all-weather traction and fuel-efficiency. [00:01:00] It's clear that the new Charger pursuit vehicles have all the best tech available from Dodge but one important question remains: Do these cruisers got S.C.M.O.D.S.?
