1970 dodge challenger convertible

Always a California car with the original blue plates. It was restored over a two year period in 2010/2011. Still maintains the original colors fe5 with white interior and white power top. Originally a 318, 4 speed. Not an rt. It now has a built 426 hemi with period dual carter carbs. Not a crate motor. 18 spline Hemi 4 speed and dana 60 rear end. power brakes with front discs. Power steering. Power top. Shaker hood. 15” wheels 235’s on the front. 245’s on the back. Still has the original jack and space saver in the trunk. Both the front and rear have sway bars and stock shocks.

The body work was done by a custom car body shop in ventura, ca. metal work that was done: lower rear quarters. Cowl. Firewall. New radiator mount for 22” radiator. New front and rear valances. All the metal was taken down to bare metal. New epoxy primer and of course paint. Looks pretty nice all the way around. A couple little pebble scratches under the fender and the top of the rear fender has a scratch. The underside has no undercoating and is as clean as the top side. Whatever could not be painted was clear coated or powder coated. The top moves up and down nicely but is a little slow coming back up. All the padding is installed correctly and when it is down I have a nice boot that fits snug and tight. the convertible belt is original and is beautiful. as well as all the bright work.

Interior is legendary. White. Black carpet. Rim blow steering wheel. Original am radio. Dash and convertible frame was all powder coated. All assemblies were made with stainless screws wherever possible. Rally dash was rebuilt by redline. Seatbelts are original with the date tags still visible. The doors open and close well. And everything lines up.

I have the original fender tag, the build sheet and I have all the engine specs. if your interested inj the specs let me know and i'll send them to you.

It has about 1000 miles since being restored. I had the car gone over by a mechanic that specializes in these types of cars.

This ride is fast. Shifts great. Runs down the road straight and is a blast to drive. Its not all that loud because when we built it we used the stock exhaust system. In fact I tried to keep everything just the way it would have been if you bought it off the show room floor. none the less it still rumbles nicely. it's a great ride and it gets a lot of looks.

Dodge Charger Hellcat and Tesla Model S P85D in Motor Trend Head 2 Head battle

Thu, Apr 30 2015

One has James Bond Mode, Insane Mode, Creep Mode, and, yes, Insane Creep Mode. The other has 707 horsepower and is a heck of a lot cheaper. But which one is the bigger American badass?

Still, we think you'll enjoy watching the video above. In it, Autoblog friend and Motor Trend "Head 2 Head" host Jonny Lieberman summons smoke, shares smiles, and spouts spiels about both cars, finally finding one just slightly more badass than the other.

FCA recalls 1.1 million vehicles worldwide due to confusing shifter

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Fiat Chrysler is recalling 1.1 million vehicles worldwide to address the problematic shifter used on cars with eight-speed automatic transmissions. The issue is that the console-mounted shifter acts like a rocker switch and always returns to the middle position after moved. This has been deemed confusing to drivers – confusing enough to cause some to exit their vehicles without first selecting Park and leading to the car rolling away. FCA says 41 injuries are related to the shifter problem, and no evidence of equipment failure has been found. The company will enhance warning chimes and alter the shift strategy, meaning alert messages will be displayed in case the driver door is opened while the engine is running. With the door open, the transmission will prevent the car from moving even if Park is not selected. The affected vehicles are certain model-year 2012Â–2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans, as well as model-year 2014Â–2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs, an estimated 811,586 US vehicles in total. The recall also affects 52,144 vehicles in Canada, 16,805 in Mexico, and 248,667 vehicles elsewhere. The shifter is used with ZF-designed and ZF-built eight-speed automatic; Audi uses a similar shifter setup in some of its vehicles, including the current-generation, which predated Chrysler's use of it. Chrysler uses a different, a rotating-dial-type shifter on eight-speed-equipped Rams. The company moved away from the problem shifter design in 2015 for the Charger and 300, and the Grand Cherokee's shift lever was modified for 2016. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall when service is available. Fiat Chrysler urges customers to follow the instructions in the vehicle's owner's manual in the meantime.
