1970 RT/SE Dodge Challenger
440 Six Pack
4 Speed
This is a beautiful car in every respect. It has undergone a 100% nut & bolt restoration by the previous owner who
did an amazing job, It has less than 500 miles of driving since, most of which was just to and from car shows. The
car was just shown at the Chicago MCACN Show (Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals) and was chosen by Hot Rod Magazine
in thier selection of special cars for thier online event coverage.
This car looks as good in person as it does in the photos, it starts at the twist of the key and runs & drives like
new. A beautiful show car that you can actually drive! You'd be very hard pressed to find a nicer example,
especially for the very reasonable reserve. Think about it, a one of 135 produced and completely restored, 440 Six
Pack, 4 speed, RT/SE, a super rare and desirably optioned example, for less money than the cost of the restoration!
This car has matching body numbers, engine VIN stamping number, dash VIN tag, and Door VIN tag. The 4 speed
transmission is a replacement. A full break down of it's original fender tag options is shown in the sales flyer
photo, the only added options are the Shaker Hood, 15 x 7 Road Wheels, and power steering.
Let's talk numbers and rarity:
Consider that there were 53,337 Challenger hard tops built in 1970
Of those only 3,979 of those had the RT/SE option
Of those only 296 received the 440 Six Pack engine
Of those only 135 were 4 speeds!
All transportation costs will be the sole responsibility of the buyer. Car is sold "As Is Where Is"

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.

Is Mopar readying a special-edition Dart for Chicago?

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

Chrysler has released the above teaser of a limited-edition Mopar 2013 model that will be unveiled at next month's Chicago Auto Show. Although the automaker doesn't announce what vehicle will get the Mopar treatment, closer investigation of the seats and center console suggest that this car will be a special version of the 2013 Dodge Dart.
This will be the fourth Mopar model in as many years, following on the heels of the Mopar 2010 Challenger, Mopar 2011 Charger and the Mopar '2012 300. There are no details for the Mopar '13 Dart, but we do see that the car will retain the signature black-and-blue color scheme as past Mopar editions. Like these previous models, we expect production of Mopar '13 Dart to be limited to just 500 units.
Scroll down for Chrysler's press release teasing the new Mopar model, and we'll be sure to bring you plenty of live images from the show floor in a couple weeks.

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep

Thu, 30 May 2013

The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
