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

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.

I am in a position where I need to sell this car.  My loss is your gain.  Good luck with your bidding- someone is about to get a steal on this amazing vehicle!

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet. Scroll down for the full press release.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
