     This Challenger is a project that I started about 10 years ago.  I replaced the quarter panels, sandblasted all the surface rust from the floors, wheel wells, and trunk.  The engine bay is repainted as well as the floors, door jams and trunk floor.  The work is quality and this will be a very nice car for whomever finishes it.  The engine is a 383 out of a 69 Chrysler Newport.  It has been bored/honed to fit new KB Hyperutectic pistons with 9.5:1 compression.  The 906 heads have hardened seats and are fully machined including a fresh valve job.  It has a mild cam and an Edelbrock 4 barrel intake.  The engine was built by a local racer and professional engine builder.  The interior is in the process of being done, all new coverings from Legendary.  All of the seat frames were sandblasted before being reassembled.  I started this car in college, moved out of state for a job, and the car sat in my Dad's garage.  It has been there for about 8 years.  Two years ago I moved back home and started working on the car again.  I started working on the body and that is when I got the paint and supplies, over $1,200 for the paint products alone.  The paint is FE5 Rally Red from Sherwin Williams automotive.  It is top of the line paint, Ultra 7000, this is the high line for Sherwin Williams and from my experience a very nice quality paint.  I have painted several projects with this paint and always appreciated its quality.  The body work that has been done is professional level and this will be an easy car to finish.  It is very dusty from sitting, but the paint work is very nice.  

    
    The car was originally a frost green metallic with dark green interior, but I thought red would look a little better.  In 1974 the Rally option was available on all models of Challenger and this car has the Rally package.  It was originally a 318 car and I have the numbers matching engine that will go with it if needed.  It has the power bulge Rally hood, Rally gauges with 7,000 rpm tach, Slap Stick automatic with console.  I have done a tremendous amount of work on this car and I would say that it is 70% done, but it would need a paint job and to be put back together.  All of the interior is purchased and comes with the car including a new headliner, all new Legendary seat covers, beautiful door panels, and everything else that is needed to complete the car.      
    The reserve is set low as I need to sell this car.  I just purchased another car and I am out of room and money.  Recently when I took the pictures, I replaced the gas, changed the cars oil, and got it running.  It has a lifter that is tapping, but I suspect this will go away as the car is driven a bit.  I have only driven it from my Mom's garage to my Dad's storage garage and there it has sat for the last 8 years or so.  It has a total of 2.5 miles on the new engine and freshened transmission.  It has a clean title and is ready for sale.  $500 deposit required within 48 hours and the balance on pick up.  Shipping within a reasonable distance may be possible, please ask and we will see what we can work out.  I have a box of receipts and pictures of the work that was done.  I have spent well over the reserve price in parts alone!  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  My cell is 702-371-2302, Jeremy.  I would consider a 1968-70 Road Runner or GTX project as a potential trade.  This will make a great car for some lucky person!

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos

Wed, 21 May 2014

Yesterday'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.

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

When 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.
