Factory original 1973 Dodge Challenger factory 318 with a 3 speed stick. Came from the factory with this drive train. It has always been in So. California since new. It has been sitting in storage for the past 13 years. Several months ago I pulled it out and began to get it back on the road. I replace the gas tank and sending unit, front water pump housing, and pump. All the hoses and belts, Restored the heater box and new core, Installed a new Carb and air cleaner and new master cylinder. It is back on the road and running and driving great. I have been using it as a go around town driver and it is very reliable. The motor has been updated to have a 4 barrel carb and vintage aluminum intake. The cam has been changed at some point in its life along with the timing chain and head rebuild. Runs really nice. 

  The car original came in the colors of silver with blue interior. That is a very unusual color combo but wasn't liked by the previous owner. It was converted over to the color you see in the pictures. It has very little options except an 8 3/4 rear-end and disk brakes. It has no power options except whats in your arms. all the brake have been checked and are in good working order. All the lights are in good working order. Everything works except the reverse light. The speedo works great but starts at 20mph for some reason. the interior in good shape. The seats are clean with no rips and still soft. The covers are not original material but have the original style look. The carpet has been replaced and is good shape. The rear top of the seat is probably getting a little hard from sitting in the sun but not bad. The plastic door panels are very clean original but will need the window weather strip to be changed. the interior dash has had a professional dash cap installed and looks real nice. Not much will need to be done to the interior. 
  The paint is older and faded out. It is the third paint job. the first being silver, then red and then the blue you see on the car. the car is straight with not much bondo that can be seen. I do know the front driver fender has had work done to it and will need some attention when the car is repainted. Its not a disaster but needs some love. the rest of the panels are nice and straight with no visual work being done to them. The trunk is solid with some surface rust but no rot. The rust I can see coming thru is both lower quarters just in front of the tires on both sides. I can only see bubbling thru the paint. The outside chrome will need to be done to be nice. It is the original to the car and is fading. The other trim is nice and original with standard scratches and dings but very usable. 
  the motor and trans are the numbers match to the car if anyone is interested in that. Not even sure if it has been out of the car since new. doesn't smoke or anything like that. It's a real good driver that needs a little cosmetics but over all a great car that can have a 4spd installed real easy. The exhaust system is fresh with Dynomax mufflers. sounds good. I just bought another challenger and this one needs to go at this time. Call Scott for any questions 760-559-5103

2017 Challenger, Charger Hellcats recalled for catastrophic oil-line failure

Thu, Aug 24 2017

If you own a Hellcat, either a Charger or Challenger, built between Feb. 6, 2017, and May 30, 2017, you may want to consider parking it for a while. The reason for this is NHTSA officially acknowledged a recall from Chrysler for engine oil cooler lines that could fail, leading to major oil loss. Which of course could lead to severe engine damage. According to the recall information, the issue lies in the rubber used in the oil cooler line. Chrysler's testing revealed that the rubber didn't meet the company's criteria. As a result it was able to separate from a crimped aluminum portion of the line, letting oil spill out. The recall goes into effect on Sept. 22, which is when Chrysler will start reaching out to owners to alert them. The company will replace the oil cooler lines free of charge. Owners can call Chrysler's customer service at 1-800-853-1403 with any questions regarding the recall, which has the reference code "T48." Related Video:

Mopar teases a big Hemi crate engine for SEMA

Wed, Oct 24 2018

Mopar has released a new video teaser hinting at the release of a large and powerful crate Hemi engine at SEMA later this month in Las Vegas. The video functions like a lesson on symbolism in an English lit class. It opens with smoke and settles on a pair of backlit, large-clawed paw prints that look to be feline in origin. Then we hear earth-shaking pounding sounds of something larger than the paw prints that stomps over them. Then cue an overhead shot of what looks to be a vintage-model Dodge Charger and its growly Hemi engine entering the frame and then gunning the engine. Mopar already offers three crate Hemi V8 engines, topped by the 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat, good for 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, found in the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and marketed for pre-1976 classic muscle cars. So promising that "Something big is coming" is really saying something. Could it be a crate version of the 808-hp Hemi 6.2 that was found in the Dodge Demon, which was rated at 840 hp on racing fuel? Or is it something different? Curiously, Mopar says its reveal is planned for Tuesday, Oct. 30 at the odd time of 4:26 p.m. Could that time be a reference to the 426 Hemi — and specifically the Generation III 426 Hemi "Elephant" that Chrysler made several years ago? That technically qualifies as "bigger," and it would also align with both the muscle car-era Charger and round, earth-shaking footprints shown in the video. Time will prove whether we were right.
