This is a 1970 Challenger Convertible that is a factory 6 cylinder car with a 3 speed manual trans.  They only made "91" 6 cylinder 3 speed manual challenger ragtops in 1970.   The original /6 is long gone.  The original 3 speed manual trans is still in the car with all linkage hooked up.   The car has an 8 3/4 in it now.  No idea what is has for gear ratio as we have not checked.  The challenger comes with a 1972 340 engine.  The prior owner stated it is a forged crank 340.  Engine needs a complete rebuild and I have no history on the motor except that is came out of a Challenger. 

    This convertible is a project car.  A project car that is located in the Northest and has probably spent a considerable amount of time here.  It has most of the convertible specific parts and they are in pretty nice shape with exception of the sunvisors.  The rear view mirror bezel is missing.   The car is a power top car and the convertible motor is still in place. The lines are however cracked and therefore the top now goes up and down by hand.  The convertible frame appears to be in very nice condition.  The convertible windshield trim inner and outer is very nice. The rear convertible trim is there as well and only needs a couple dings banged out and repolished.  The convertible rear door panels have speaker holes in each one.  One is brown and has been dyed, the other is an original black one.  The rear convertible seat has a solid frame and also has the boot channel intact.  The car comes with a new convertible white top with glass back window.  The seat cores are in good condition. Front door panels are very nice.  The side glass is in pretty good shape with minimal scratches.  It has all the convertible specific glass.  The front windshield is there but will probably need a new one. 

    The body needs considerable work.  The rear of the car was hit as some point and the tailight panel is tweaked as you can see in the pics.  At the the time of the accident it must have went off the road as the rear frame rails are bent towards the end of the car.  The car needs a whole new trunk floor and extensions so ideally the car should have the one piece trunk floor and frame rails assembly offered from Dynacorn installed as you will cure the frame rail issues and sheet metal at the same time.  It is only $1300 for this piece and will cure the two aforementioned issues.  The floorpans needs replacing as well.  The cowl has a portion replaced around the booster area that was cut out of another challenger but was not welded in yet.  The front frame assembly is very straight and solid.  The inners fenders have been worked at some point and show signs of excessive bodywork.  They should be replaced.  The fenders, doors and quarters have all been patched and are in rough condition.  The challenger hood looks ok and the trunk lid is useable as well.   The car is a major project however is a good starting point and has 99% of the hard to find convertible parts included.  The car come with a radiator core.  The heater box is also in very good condition. 

   There are some extra parts that will be included in the trunk consisting of vents, original weatherstripping front valence, etc.   The 340 engine will be installed in the engine bay for transport only.  It will not be running.  

   The car has the original fender tag, and all body numbers match the VIN.  There is no broadcast sheet.

   I am listing this car for my brother as he has decided to focus on a different car he is restoring. 

THE WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE CHALLENGER ARE NOT INCLUDED.  THEY GO ON MY CAR AND ARE ONLY USED FOR ROLLERS CURRENTLY.  The car will have four rollers that hold air installed on the car upon shipping. 

    There is NO title for this car.   Titles are not needed in Maine and this car has been in storage for 20 years.   The owner will be provided a valid maine registration and bill of sale.  This will typically be enough to register a car in your state.  Do your due dilligence prior to bidding.  Please come and inspect the car if you are concerned with its condition.  It is a major project but a worthy restoration candidate.   There is no brakes and does not run consider that when setting up a shipping company.

Values snowball for legendary Tucker Sno-Cats, latest toys of the super rich

Fri, Jan 5 2018

Here's a fun-sounding vehicle perfect for the cold and snow that's currently gripping much of North America. Tucker — no, not that Tucker — just marked its 75th anniversary making the Sno-Cat, its orange-painted, four-tread snow vehicles that have inspired backcountry skiers, collectors — and increasingly, the super rich. Bloomberg in a recent story writes that demand for the Medford, Ore.-based company's products is soaring on demand from the wealthy, who need a way to get to their backcountry mountain retreats. They're also in demand from collectors and gearheads who also love snow, like two anonymous collectors who are believed to have amassed more than 200 vintage Sno-Cats. The value of vintage models has reportedly tripled in the past five years to well over $100,000 for a fully restored rig. Tucker Sno-Cat Corp. claims to be the world's oldest surviving snow vehicle manufacturer, launched by E.M. Tucker in 1942 out of a desire to design a vehicle for traveling over the kind of deep, soft snow found in the Rogue River Valley of his childhood. It was four Tucker Sno-Cat machines that helped English explorer Vivian Fuchs and his 12-man party make the first 2,158-mile overland crossing of Antarctica in 1957-58. While many of the company's competitors either shuttered or adapted to serving ski resorts with wider, heavier treads, Tucker has stuck to its formula of making lightweight vehicles to travel over deep snow. Many Tuckers use Chrysler's flat six-cylinder engine, or its Dodge Hemi V8 for larger Sno-Cats, mounted rear or centrally, with basic, no-frills aluminum cabins. Sno-Cats all have four articulating tracks that are independently sprung, powered and pivoted at the drive axle. Track options come in three different types: conventional steel grouser belt track, rubber-coated aluminum grouser belt track, and one-piece all-rubber track. Steering is hydraulically controlled by pivoting the front and rear axles for smooth movement over undulating terrain with minimal disturbance of the ground cover. The company today makes 75 to 100 Sno-Cats a year for customers including the U.S. military, oil-drilling crews in cold places like Alaska and North Dakota, and utilities. But demand is so high that it's launched a profitable service reselling and refurbishing old machines. E.M. Tucker's grandson, Jeff McNeil, now head of this division, scours Google Earth for abandoned Sno-Cats rusting in backyards that he might be able to acquire and fix up.

The 2017 Dodge Charger Pursuit will always watch your back

Thu, Feb 9 2017

Police cruisers spend the majority of their life parked and idle, waiting for the call to action. A parked car is a vulnerable one, especially when there may be incentive to disable or destroy that vehicle. FCA has worked with InterMotive, Inc., to supply safety technology that will detect movement behind the vehicle through the combined use of radar and the rear-view camera. Even better, FCA is putting this tech in every 2017 Dodge Charger Pursuit at no extra cost. According to InterMotive, the Officer Protection Package is designed to help awareness with an officer is parked and working inside the vehicle. The system will provide an alert if there is anyone moving behind the vehicle to ambush the officer. The system plugs into the OBDII port and is secured under the dash. The device can then be manually switched on. This triggers the rear parking sensors to activate and. If any movement is detected, the officer can look behind the car through the rear-view camera. The system will automatically lock the doors, roll up the windows and flash the taillights. No word on how much the system will cost for non-2017 vehicles, but it is available for order right now.

Dodge Challenger Shakedown: '71 body, new guts

Tue, Nov 1 2016

While Jeep has created a number of vintage-bodied custom vehicles with modern components, this year's SEMA show plays host to Dodge's take on the idea. The Shakedown concept began life as a 1971 Challenger and ditched almost everything in it, including the engine and chassis. What's left is a modern car with a retro look. The chassis was a particularly complicated part of the job, since the Challenger was originally a unibody car. However, Dodge chose to separate the Challenger's iconic body from its structural parts, and moved it onto a custom, one-off chassis from which the body can be removed as needed. The chassis also carries lowered suspension, Challenger Hellcat brakes, and a 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8 connected to a six-speed manual transmission from the Viper. Dodge also installed the engine using the new Hemi engine swap kit from Mopar. With the shaker cold-air intake and custom exhaust, the Shakedown's powerplant makes 485 horsepower. View 13 Photos The body itself received plenty of tweaking as well. Dodge shaved off the drip rails, door handles, and turn signals for a cleaner look, and also fitted the grille, headlights, and taillights from a 2017 Challenger. The whole thing is finished in matte black paint with a "vibrating" stripe offset on the left side. The Shakedown also gets 20-inch Slingshot rear wheels and a pair of custom 19-inch versions for the front. On each fender is a bright red "392" decal that uses the same font as the labels on classic Mopars 360 cubic-inch V8s. Inside, the Shakedown gets the same radical upgrade as the chassis. Two Viper seats accompany a Viper steering wheel, and the rear seats are gone altogether. The Viper gearbox is shifted with a Challenger Hellcat gear knob, and carbon-fiber accents and leather adorn the wheel, door panels, instrument panel and center console.
