Clairton, Pennsylvania, United States

Up for sale is this awesome 1974
Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger. This car just went through a complete professional
restoration, and nearly every nut and bolt is new. All rotted metal was cut out
and replaced, no bondo was used on this ride. The car was just repainted, in awesome Plum Crazy metallic paint. New fiberglass hood, with hood scoop,
new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, and
new windshield.
Car was originally a 318, but was
replaced with a rebuilt 440, that has under 10,000 miles. Everything else is
new and has less than 200 miles, 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 and 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 completely
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, which are basically insignificant when compared to all of the new items on this restored classic. The windshield wipers have
stopped working. I just found out that it is an electrical issue that may
possibly be corrected soon. Also, the fuel gauge does not work. The rods in the
doors are not connected to the key locks, so it can not be locked from the
outside- only from the inside. So there are a few little things
that need to be fixed, but for what this car will be used for, they do not need
to be fixed immediately to enjoy the car. A hose going to the steering box has
a very small leak- I am currently working on fixing this issue. All of the minor issues listed
above are accounted for in the reserve price.
-As you can see in these pictures,
there is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the
fender, not the fender. The chip is slightly touched up to the point that it is barely noticeable. 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. You will have to
look very closely to even notice.
The reserve is set very reasonably.
I have done my very best to list even the smallest issues, so there will be
absolutely no surprises when you view the car. I purchased this vehicle mid-way
through the summer last year. Since that
time, my financial situation has changed. Over 40k has been spent to rebuild the
car. Getting divorced last year has really sent my finances for a loop! I need
to part with some things I really enjoy, but do not need to survive. My
loss is your gain. Good luck! |

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Enamored of the Dodge Challenger but wish you could get one with a shaker hood? We've got good news, because Dodge and Mopar have teamed up to bring it back.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker packs the same 5.7-liter Hemi V8 as the standard Challenger R/T, but upgrades the business end with a through-the-hood exposed cold-air intake system. The retro hood scoop protrudes from the center of the hood in satin black (matching the decklid spoiler) to feed the Hemi and shakes with the engine just like the original from 1970. The Shaker model also comes with a Super Track Pak that adds a new steering rack, brake linings, shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car rubber. You can also shut off the stability management system completely in this car. A series of interior and exterior trim enhancements round out the look. The whole package adds $2,500 to the price of a Challenger R/T Classic for an all-in MSRP of $36,995.
In case that's not enough, Dodge is also offering a limited-edition Mopar Challenger that follows the 2010 Mopar Challenger, 2011 Mopar Charger, 2012 Mopar 300 and 2013 Mopar Dart. Limited to just 100 examples, the 2014 Mopar Challenger gets the same Shaker hood intake, unique graphics and wheels, an enhanced interior and a long list of optional extras from the Mopar parts catalog. Dodge isn't saying just yet how much the Mopar Challenger will cost, but you can bet it will command a considerable premium for the exclusivity alone.
Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
