1974 Dodge Challenger 440 on 2040-cars
Clairton, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is an amazing vehicle that you will have to see to believe! This awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge
Challenger. Nearly every nut and bolt is new- the car just went through a complete professional restoration. All rotted metal was cut out and
replaced, no bondo was used in the completely professional restoration. The car was just repainted in this dazzling Plum Crazy metallic paint, with black racing stripes down both sides
to really give it a really mean street racer look. New fiberglass hood with hood scoop,
new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, new
windshield.
Car was originally a 318 but was replaced with a
rebuilt 440 that has under 10,000 miles. Everything is else is new and has less
than 600 miles on it. Including a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift
kit and b&m quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a
rebuilt rear. New headers with a 3" flowmaster exhaust.
Rebuilt carb. New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling
fan. Chrome valve covers, alternator, pullies. Msd Ignition and
Distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder. New
front and rear sway bars. Also, both center headlights were removed and
replaced with a chromed out cold ram air system with dual air filters and you
really feel it when you step on the gas.
The interior is also completly redone. New
carpet, seat covers front and rear, grant steering wheel, headliner, custom
floor mats and a new dash pad. Blue led lighting added under seats and
dash. And blue led streetglow around the underneath side of car that
really lights up the road.
NOW THE NEGATIVES, and there aren't many.. -There is a
small chip in the paint on the MOLDING thats attached to the fender, not the
fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and you really dont even notice it,
can easily be fixed. All other paint is flawless and just about show
quality, no dents, no scratches. - Also, although the vinyl top is new it has
a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the drivers side seam is a tiny
wavy. -Fuel gauge is inoperative -Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected -Seat belts not installed
Other than these small thing the car is just about perfect, it
runs and shifts perfectly, and its got plenty of power. The reserve is
set very reasonably, i have over 40k into car, my loss is your gain. Good
luck On Nov-06-13 at 15:27:20 PST, seller added the following information:

Now a few negatives, and there aren't many. I believe in full disclosure and honesty. I do not want there to be any surprises. I am glad to point out any negatives because there are very few. They are not a big deal when considering how much hard earned cash has been recently put into this beauty! There is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the fender, not on the fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and unless it is pointed out, you probably will not even notice it at first look. All of the other paint is flawless and just about Show Quality: no dents, no scratches. The vinyl top is new. However, it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the driver’s side seam is slightly wavy. Fuel gauge is inoperative. Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected. Seat belts not installed. Other than these small items, the car is just about perfect. This monster runs and shifts perfectly, and it has plenty of power. The reserve
is set very reasonably. ------------------------> Over $40,000 has been spent on the restoration items detailed above! <------------------------ I am in a position where I need to sell this car.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos
Wed, 21 May 2014Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.
The Dodge Demon gets a Drag Mode and a lesson in Newtonian physics
Thu, Feb 23 2017It's Thursday morning, which means we have more news on the upcoming Dodge Demon, the pumped-up Challenger Hellcat variant that's looking to cause mayhem at a drag strip near you. This week's video, "Third Law," shows the Demon's revised suspension in action and displays another one of SRT's cryptic messages. Dodge claims that the 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 in the Hellcat twins is compromised because it's fitted to a car that needs to be comfortable on the street in addition to a performer on the drag strip. Not so with the Demon, as Dodge says the car is "designed to be highly competent in all drive modes and configurations," including the all-new Drag Mode. Dodge says details about the new mode will trickle out over the next few weeks, but all the info this week focused on suspension. The "Third Law" in this week's title refers to Isaac Newton and motion: "When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body." We're not sure what Newton would have thought seeing the sidewall wrinkling Nitto NT05R drag radials in action, but he'd probably have a reaction of some sort himself. An ideal suspension setup for the drag strip makes for a poor setup on the road. As Dodge puts it, the "old school" way to set up a drag car was to "get the quickest reacting springs upfront, the softest rebound front shocks that wouldn't restrict the springs' reaction, remove any restrictions (sway bar) and increase the compression of the rear shocks." This would give a car great front to rear weight transfer but made for very poor lateral direction control, meaning minor corrections were difficult. The Demon's Drag Mode will use electronics to give the car the best combination of launch and lateral stability. Dodge listed some of the parts to help aid in this goal. They also gave us a few equations that we can't make sense of. Let us know if you have any clues. Hardware: 35 percent lower rate front springs/28 percent lower rate rear springs 75 percent lower rate hollow front sway bar/44 percent lower rate rear sway bar Drag-tuned Bilstein Adaptive Damping Shocks Software: Rear = F/F and Front = F/S F/F – F/S maintained @ wide open throttle (WOT) F/F – F/F < WOT Traction control disabled/ESC maintained Result: 13.5=575@500 Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger
Sun, 23 Feb 2014When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
