This is an amazing vehicle that you will have to see to believe! This awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger. Nearly every nut and bolt is new- the car just went through a complete professional restoration.  All rotted metal was cut out and replaced, no bondo was used in the completely professional restoration.  The car was just repainted in this dazzling Plum Crazy metallic paint, with black racing stripes down both sides to really give it a really mean street racer look.  New fiberglass hood with hood scoop, new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, new windshield.

 

Car was originally a 318 but was replaced with a rebuilt 440 that has under 10,000 miles. Everything is else is new and has less than 600 miles on it.  Including a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift kit and b&m quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a rebuilt rear.  New headers with a 3" flowmaster exhaust.  Rebuilt carb.  New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling fan.  Chrome valve covers, alternator, pullies.  Msd Ignition and Distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder.  New front and rear sway bars.  Also, both center headlights were removed and replaced with a chromed out cold ram air system with dual air filters and you really feel it when you step on the gas.  

 

The interior is also completly redone.  New carpet, seat covers front and rear, grant steering wheel, headliner, custom floor mats and a new dash pad.  Blue led lighting added under seats and dash.  And blue led streetglow around the underneath side of car that really lights up the road.

 

NOW THE NEGATIVES, and there aren't many.. 

 -There is a small chip in the paint on the MOLDING thats attached to the fender, not the fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and you really dont even notice it, can easily be fixed.  All other paint is flawless and just about show quality, no dents, no scratches.

 - Also, although the vinyl top is new it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the drivers side seam is a tiny wavy. 

-Fuel gauge is inoperative

-Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected

-Seat belts not installed

 

 Other than these small thing the car is just about perfect, it runs and shifts perfectly, and its got plenty of power.  The reserve is set very reasonably, i have over 40k into car, my loss is your gain.  Good luck

Now a few negatives, and there aren't many. I believe in full disclosure and honesty.  I do not want there to be any surprises.  I am glad to point out any negatives because there are very few. They are not a big deal when considering how much hard earned cash has been recently put into this beauty!  There is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the fender, not on the fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and unless it is pointed out, you probably will not even notice it at first look.  All of the other paint is flawless and just about Show Quality: no dents, no scratches. The vinyl top is new. However, it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the driver’s side seam is slightly wavy. Fuel gauge is inoperative. Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected. Seat belts not installed.

Other than these small items, the car is just about perfect.  This monster runs and shifts perfectly, and it has plenty of power.  The reserve is set very reasonably.

------------------------> Over $40,000 has been spent on the restoration items detailed above! <------------------------

I am in a position where I need to sell this car.  My loss is your gain.  Good luck with your bidding- someone is about to get a steal on this amazing vehicle!

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

Dodge rolls out Shaker package for 2015 Challenger

Mon, Feb 16 2015

Having an awesome Hemi engine under the hood can deliver impressive performance, but for those who lament not being able to see that big V8 engine doing its thing, hidden away under the hood, Dodge offers the Shaker hood on its Challenger muscle car. And it's just released the option for the updated 2015 model. Now available on two engines and three trim levels – including the Challenger R/T and R/T Plus with the 5.7-liter V8 and the 6.4-liter Challenger 392 – the new Shaker hood brings cold air into the engine compartment and lets everyone see that V8 (or at least an appendage thereof) shaking away in plain view. Arriving 45 years after the original Shaker Challenger, the package includes a satin black hood scoop, cold-air intake, conical air filter and optimized air box, along with Shaker graphics inside, out and under the hood. The 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and R/T Plus Shaker are available to order now, priced at $35,495 and $38,495, respectively (plus a $995 destination charge), and come bundled with the Super Track Pak. Order books open in March for the 392 HEMI Shaker, which also comes with the Scat Pack, for $42,495 (plus destination and $1,000 gas-guzzler tax if equipped with the manual transmission).
