In 1971, the all-new third generation Charger debuted. It was completely
restyled with a new split grille and more rounded "fuselage"
bodystyle. The interiors now looked more like those of the E-body and were now shared by the Plymouth B-body, the Plymouth
Satellite Sebring and Road Runner. No longer standard, the hidden headlights
were now optional. A rear spoiler and a "Ramcharger" hood made the
option lists for the first time. A special scoop was mounted in the hood,
directly above the air cleaner. If the driver wanted to draw clean air directly
into the carburetor, he flipped the vacuum switch under the dash and the scoop
popped up. The Plymouth Road Runner used this device and called it the
"Air Grabber" hood. While this device had been used on the Coronet
R/T and Super Bees, it had never appeared on the Charger. For 1973 the Chargers were mildly restyled and sported all new sheet
metal, and while the rear roof C-pillars looked like the only difference from
the 1972s, the 1973 cars were actually longer, wider, and slightly taller. Also
new were vertically slatted taillights and new grills. Hidden headlights were
dropped, even as an option. The 318 was still standard, with the 340 (available
only on the Rallye), 400 (2- and 4-barrel) and 440 remaining as options. The SE
models had a new roof treatment that had a "triple opera window" surrounded by a canopy-style vinyl roof.
All other models had a new quarter window treatment, ditching its AMC Gremlin-style window in favor of a more conventional
design. Sales this year were around 108,000 units, the highest ever for the
1971-74 Charger generation. The 1973 Chargers, and all Chrysler products, were
equipped with 5 mph bumpers, front and rear. For many, this model of the Charger was the most beautiful of all. With the long low flat hood and the new rear
passenger window design, it quickly became the most sought after design for
collectors. Made famous by Richard
Petty, this design was hailed as the, “most beautiful race car ever” in the
NASCAR series. This
car is set up to ride and handle well.
The engine is tuned to cruise smoothly and get good millage on trips to
car shows in California Nevada and Arizona.
My wife, kids and I enjoy the bench seat which adds to the unique
driving experience these cars represent. The
$2800.00 paint job was done in April of 2012 and polished to a near perfect
finish in medium grey metallic, identical to the color used on new Chrysler
cars and trucks. The paint has about 3.5
years left on the warrantee. There are
no dents, no door dings and no scratches on this car. The car has always been garaged in Arizona so
the paint looks virtually new. The wheels and tires seen in the pictures are
not included in the sale. The vehicle
will be shipped with the original rally wheels that are in very good
condition. I’ve owned several of the
cars over the years and I don’t think I’ve ever had one with better bumpers and
grilles. The bumper inserts are in near
new condition, very hard to find. The 318
is basically stock with the exception of an Edelbrock intake and 4bbl
carburetor. It starts easy and runs very smooth. The engine was professionally
rebuilt, prior to my ownership, records included. The Charger rides nicely, tracks straight
with tight steering and minimal body roll and no shakes and shimmies. All the maintenance records including the
original window sticker are available and will be sent along to the new owner. The car
is always garaged and driven only to local car shows on the weekends. I’ve had
Mustangs, Challengers and Barracudas, but I can honestly say that I have never
received such a positive response as I get with this Charger. This car is a genuine attention getter and,
for the time being, these models are still affordable. The heater core needs to be replaced. The dash pad has a crack in the usual
location (see photo) and the seats are in near new condition. The windows work smooth and fit tight against
new rubber molding. The door hinges are in good shape and the
doors swing shut and open with ease. The
car is very sound, without rust and you will not be disappointed. All sales are final and the
car is sold as-is with no warranty either express or implied. Potential buyers are encouraged to inspect
the vehicle prior to bidding. The
vehicle comes with a current and clear title. Also, all bidders should be aware
that the vehicle is for sale locally and the auction may end early if a sale is
completed. |

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes
Sun, Jul 26 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

Privateer Viper team sets a 7:03.45 time at the Nurburgring (UPDATE)
Wed, Jul 26 2017Update: The Viper record crew have uploaded video of the official lap. According to the group's Facebook page, they believe a sub-7 minute time is possible. They will try to return to the 'Ring in August when there are some open slots at the track, and they will be raising money to pay for a return trip. The group of Viper fans we told you about last week now have their first Nurburgring record attempt out of the way according to Road & Track. The automotive publication reports the team set a time of 7:03.45 with a 2017 Viper ACR. That's a bit over 8 seconds faster around the 'Ring than the previous-generation ACR. Unfortunately, the time puts it behind the Porsche 918 Spyder's 6:57 time and the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's 6:52 time. We've reached out to the privateer team for additional info on the attempt, and whether they will be able to make more attempts on this trip. We will update this as soon as we hear back. The team making these attempts got its start with a GoFundMe campaign to pay for a trip the Nurburgring to set times. The reason for this trip was the fact that Dodge never took this generation of Viper ACR to the famed German racetrack, despite going around setting fast laps at North American circuits. With funding from donors, sponsorship from Kumho Tires and Prefix, and provision of two Viper ACRs from Viper Exchange and BJ Motors, the team was able to make the journey.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Final Dodge Demon and Dodge Viper to be auctioned off for charity
Fri, Apr 13 2018A little while ago we wrote about the Viper factory being recommissioned into a museum, that will hold the historic cars originally evicted from the Walter P. Chrysler museum. Now, what happened to the last Viper that factory built? It's getting auctioned off, in good company. Barrett-Jackson is auctioning the last 2017 Viper built, together with a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon said to be the last Demon produced. Crossing the block in June in Uncasville, Connecticut, the pair of cars produces a total of 1,485 horsepower, of which the Demon accounts for 840 horses and the Viper for 645. Both are finished in bright Viper Red, and yes, the Demon will include the optional passenger seat. All proceeds from the sale will go to charity, to United Way. "Pairing the last Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and the Dodge Viper production cars – two of America's most sought-after vehicles – under the roof of Barrett-Jackson gives someone the 'last' chance to own this unique piece of automotive history, and Dodge//SRT the opportunity to raise money for a cause close to our hearts", said FCA's Steve Beahm. In addition to the cars, the sale will include memorabilia and a Demon Crate, which includes narrow, drag-spec front tires, performance modules and track tools. The auction is held from June 20th to 23rd. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
