Trim: R/T SE

This auction is for my 1970 Dodge Challenger. It is not a numbers matching vehicle. It was a real R/T SE 383 Rallye Red 4 speed car but was missing the drive train and most of the floor due to rust and had been hit in the rear. I used 2 parts cars along with this one to build what you see here. It now has a 440 six pack with 727 torque flyte transmission with 3.23 sure grip rear end. The engine is a 1975 vintage 440 that was built by Wheeler Racing Engines in Blaine Minn. It is built to stock specs and runs well on pump premium gas. It produced 392 HP @4600 RPM and 485 ft lbs of torque at 3800 RPM on the dyno. The 727 was built using the Hemi sprag and planetary gear along with a shift kit and 3400 rpm stall converter. It was finished in 1999 and was driven to the Mopar Nationals where it made two high 13 second passes down the 1320 at around 100mph. It has not been raced since then. It has been a show pooch and driven about 14,000 miles since being restified and has received many 1st & 2nd place awards over the years and still shows well. It received "Best Muscle Car" award at it's only outing in 2013. Many NOS & new re production parts and upgrades went into this restification such as all Polyurethane suspension bushings, 1" front sway bar and High performance rear leaf springs and factory rear sway bar. It was upgraded to front disc brakes from a 74 Challenger with all new brake lines, cylinders and hoses. The fuel lines were upgraded to 3/8 & 1/4" return lines along with fuel sender and new tank. New vinyl roof, new leather seat upholstery, carpeting from Legendary and Year one suppliers. Dash pad was rebuilt by Just Dashes. No one was re producing the SE headliner so I opted for the bowed headliner without the overhead console. There are a couple other SE factory parts that did not make it back on this car. The rear aluminum panel was not salvageable and I opted for the black paint in place of the argent silver painted panel. and the grille and headlight bezels were powder coated in satin black as well. Also eliminated was the bright trim under the front bumper. All of the emblems and stainless are either new or restored. The radiator was rebuilt by GlenRay radiators using the best core available. The engine, alternator, water pump and power steering pump pulleys were replaced with March Pulleys and serpentine belt. Other upgrades were to the radio that was replaced by a Sony CD player unit and has the highly desired 3 speaker dash that not many of these cars had back in the day. Also a rear mounted power antenna was installed. The pistol grip gunslinger shifter and Mr Norm dealership sticker was another personal addition. This car is not an original Mr Norm car. I am sure I missed a few items but wanted any potential buyers to not be miss lead.
I have enjoyed this car and hate to see it go but my wife wants a 68 Bullitt Charger clone and I need to keep the peace along with needing the garage space and the money to enable that project. I have a $30K reserve that is much less that I have invested but I have had more than a decade of enjoyment with it that has to be worth something. I reserve the right to end this auction early as it is for sale locally.
This car had been appraised a few years ago at 35K for insurance reasons and I believe it to be in the #2 category. "Old Cars Buyers Guide" shows a #2 Challenger at around $36,000.00 with add 75% for 440 six pack. If this car was a real numbers matching 440 six pack car it would be a 50K trailer queen and not something you could drive and enjoy. They are only worth what someone else will pay so you be the judge.
Winning bidder must make arrangement for payment and pick up within 10 days of end of auction. The title will be turned over the to buyer upon meeting these requirements.
Thanks for the interest.

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.
Ron Burgundy returns for four more Dodge Durango ads
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Dodge has released several more of its Anchorman 2-themed commercials, starring Will Ferrell as inept newsreader Ron Burgundy. The four spots, one of which is a sequel to a previous commercial, follow roughly the same pattern as previous ads, with Ferrell's Burgundy misunderstanding or generally making a fool of himself. For some of the ads, though, Burgundy is selling more than just Durangos - the red-suited host of San Diego's most watched news broadcast shilling the entire Dodge lineup.
We've included all four ads down below, and you can also hope over to our original posts to see some of the older commercials. Oh, and if you're getting tired of these - we aren't, aside from the Do-dge spot - just remember that Ferrell reportedly filmed around 70 ads for Dodge.
2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop hits the pavement ahead of Detroit
Tue, 07 Jan 2014Dodge is getting ready to spread the Blacktop-themed love to the smallest member of its lineup. Last year, the automaker offered up Blacktop versions of the Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey. And now the Dart, too, gets its dark on for 2014, with the $295 package offered on Dart SXT models equipped with the Rallye Appearance Group. The Dart Blacktop will make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week.
As with the other Blacktop special-edition models, the Dart Blacktop gets glossy black accents for a "sporty, sinister look." The blacked-out treatment spreads across the 18-inch wheels to the crosshair grille, grille surround and headlamp bezels. The interior sees a similar treatment, with black and light tungsten or black and ruby red cloth to go with red accent stitching on the instrument panel, center console and seat bolsters.
For the 2014 model year, all Dart SXT and Limited models receive the 2.4-liter MultiAir2 Tigershark engine with 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque, and since the Blacktop is based on the SXT, that's the powerplant buyers of this special-edition will get, too. Expect the 2014 Dart Blacktop to hit dealers in the first quarter, and while you're waiting, feel free to read more in the official press release below.
