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.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
Here's your chance to vote for the best-looking state police cruiser
Thu, Jul 18 2019Across the country, state police generally drive the same types of vehicles. Right now, the most common cruisers are Ford Explorers, Chevrolet Tahoes, and Dodge Chargers, with some exceptions sprinkled in. The differentiation comes through in the livery, which can range from simplistic badging to busy stripes. Each year, the American Association of State Troopers (AAST) holds a fun contest to determine which state has the coolest-looking cars, and 2019 voting has just opened. We discovered the contest after Motor1 posted about the Florida Highway Patrol's newest addition to its fleet, a Dodge Challenger R/T. The musclemobile is, without question, the coolest car in the competition, and it might have the best livery too. But that doesn't mean it's going to win, as contests like this often turn into hotbeds for chest-beating homers. The AAST is posting results on Facebook, and as of July 17, 2019, Kentucky and Nebraska are blowing the rest of the states out of the water. Florida is in ninth place with 4,653 votes compared to first-place Kentucky's 14,699. New Jersey is in last place with only 107 votes. As the internet goes, this will likely be determined by how many times the contest is shared across social media. The Challenger isn't the only eye candy, either. Not every state participated, but those that did came correct with the photography, including Nebraska posing its car in front of a freakin' tornado. Others staged their cars with helicopters in the background, some set the car in front of the gorgeous landscapes their states have to offer, and others posed with dogs. Because who doesn't love dogs? No matter which car wins, it's cool to see the various designs all in one place. Check out the gallery above and vote for your favorite on the AAST's survey. The survey will close on July 30, 2019. Â
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.
