All plastic is pretty much perfect. I have had a number of challengers and this car was being built for myself. If there was a flaw, it was replaced, so the console, door panels, rear sail panels and all the dash parts are nice. Locks rechromed. Visors perfect and rearview mirror detailed. I am including some overhead console parts as I was going to install one and a rear defogger motor.(N/A 1974) Brake and gas pedals have been painted and detailed. Factory AM radio is excellent as the knobs. You will need to buy carpet and headliner other than that nothing else appears missing. All the window crank handles have excellent chrome. Other than that the interior should be done. The seats are in excellent original condition. They are soft, clean, and ready to use. Some imperfections on the driverside seat (minor) but nothing needs replaced. Also the 3 spoke steering wheel in picture has been replaced with the excellent original 2 spoke. DRIVELINE: This Auction includes 2 fresh unfired engines. The 493 cost approx 8500.00 ALONE! The numbers matching original 318 I had gone through. The machinest said he had no problem believing the motor only had 24k. Anyways I had him go through and put bearings rings etc. and rebuild the motor to stock specs so if a guy wanted to redo the car to stock specs, that one is fresh, 230 horsepower and ready to go. The motor I planned on putting in it is a 1970 440 now a 493 CID stroker motor. Complete long block. Intake to pan. Built by reputable speed shop. I have the build sheet. It should produce over 500 ft/lb torque and around 550 horsepower give or take 10%. Edelbrock ALUMINUM heads, roller rockers, etc etc etc. NO corners cut. Built to run on pump gas, sit in traffic and actually use during the week but be able to run 11 second quarter miles on the weekend. I have over 8000.00 in motor alone. Transmission was rebuilt and I used it in a 1969 Coronet R/T 440 6 pack. Has very little use. manual valve body, reverse pattern, shift kit etc. Expensive Hi stall converter. Also have the original numbers tranny (I think iots a 904) Comes with 2 -8 3/4 rear ends. The stock one and I was putting reinforced a body (narrower) with hanger relocation kit. Rear axle is beautiful painted heavy on the glitter! 3 inch studs, green bearings etc. 355 posi, 489 case. Also New leaf springs. I could write for hours and hours. SERIOUS BUYERS ALLWAYS CALL. Please do. I will answer any questions you may have. There are many parts that go with the car that were not ness to its restoration but my garage is losing all E body stuff I have. There is another set of seats, a dash, a complete front suspension. I am hoping to sell this car to someone going the resto mod route that can use everything sell whats extra or build another.If the car does not bring what I need to sell I will be listing the car as a stock project and seperateing the 500, and tranny as that is a large chunk of the pie. Also I am including multipule wiring harnesses. Think of it like one of those models you had when you were a kid. the kit came with both stock and Hi-per versions. You decide!! I have had 450 transactions on ebay and 1 bad buyer that has affected my feedback. It is bound to happen sooner or later but I want to reassure buyer. I have had 100% positive feedback for 10 years. I will assist any way I can in shipping. I will sell car less motor (500) and trans (727) for 8900.00

Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission
Tue, 24 Dec 2013What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.
Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.
What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.
