1971 Dodge Challenger

PERFECT CAR TO BUILD AS YOU WANT WITHOUT RUINING ANYTHING
AND ONLY IMPROVING ON WHAT DODGE STARTED OUT WITH IN 1971

LOOKING AT THE CAR AS IS IF YOU WHERE GOING TO RESTO-MOD IT
HOW COOL WOULD IT BE TO TRANSPLANT A 69 CHARGER GRILL AND 
HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY INTO A CAR LIKE THIS FOR A REAL WOW EFFECT
IF YOU COULD DO IT WITHOUT REALLY CHOPPING UP THE CAR. THE 
CHALLENGER NEVER CAME WITH HIDE-A-WAYS, but maybe its time someone did one.

BEING THE FACTORY COLOR LOOKS TO BE CITRON YELLOW MAKES FOR A
GREAT COLOR TO BUILD ON .  Car comes with factory build sheet / but no fender tag
PIC YOUR ENGINE / TRANSMISSION / SUSPENSION AND DO IT RIGHT
IT WOULD BE A GREAT CAR, PAYOFF OR BOTH.

Heres a quick story about the car. It was used by Picture Car Warehouse for a few yrs.
If you go to their website you can still see the car on there up for rent and you
can see the black Challenger too they used for the movie (or 1 of them )
They are the ones who swiped the front sheetmetal for another project . If you saw
movie Out of Time with Justin Timberlake, the LF black fender came off one of
their stunt cars. Mr Timberlake wasnt the best driver of a 4 spd, and dented up one
of the cars he was driving in the movie. FOR that reason Im planning on keeping 
that fender and not ship it with the car because of its story.

LUCKILY just about every part you need to restore this car is available
NOW a days and finding parts is much better then it was 5 yrs ago.
RestoMod builds if done correctly can easily bring $60k plus.

THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES, but I found to keep it running I have to
keep my hand on the key, keeping it forward enough to stay running
but not engaging the starter. So it needs a starter switch in the column
I think. I can drive and move the car around like this but its a little
daunting.


OUR 100% feedback speaks for itself 
and many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this past
year here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it much
easier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence.
NOT MANY OF THESE CARS WHERE MADE BACK IN THE DAY and we all know
NOT MANY ARE EVEN LEFT ON THE ROAD ANYMORE.


DRIVETRAIN: the original slant 6 runs great and the transmission
feels good too. Some cool options on the motor are AC and PS.
Motor runs great making the car easier to ship, but chances are 
Its going to be pulled out and sold. The rearend looks like an 8.75
which is a plus + . So it does run and drive and brakes are good.


INTERIOR: worn out from front to back, but the front seat
shells are worthy of restoring. Back seat is missing the back
part, but they are available used online if you are planning
on putting it all back to stock. The whole interior needs
restoration but the floors look decent. Some rust around the
rain gutters, so it will need some spot sectional repairs
Missing the 2 front door glass and regulators. Front / Rear 
and 1/4 glass looks good and there. It was a console car too.


EXTERIOR: from the doors back looks original best we can tell.
The front fenders & flat hood where really nice, but the
last owner scavenged them for their project. The car
wasnt wrecked and aprons look good too. The car will for
sure need some metal patch repairs around the body.
Its not eastcoast salt rust, its more CA near the ocean rust.
Frame, and most of the floors are really nice. Trunk is ok
but probably want to replace part of it. The car will need
patch work in several areas around the car, but again its
still better then most Ive seen for what our reserve is at.
As far as I can tell too, this car NEVER came with a vinyl top.
Citron Yella was the original color best I can tell.


SUSPENSION
: basically all stock, feels normal when driving
it around our parking lot etc.

IF YOU DONT SEE IT IN THE PICS, IT DOES NOT COME WITH 
THE CAR (aside from the lovely model who also does not
come with it , haha.)


Overall again, the car feels good for a daily driver

This car is not your typical rust free Arizona car but it is
a CA car that needs some rust repair.

These cars rarely even come up for sale anymore

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Dodge Diplomat Salon

Sun, Jan 29 2017

Except for the Viper, Prowler, and some Mitsubishi-derived AWD machines, all Chrysler cars went front-wheel-drive starting in the 1990 model year and continued that way until our current century. The last holdout was the Dodge Diplomat (and its Plymouth Gran Fury and Chrysler Fifth Avenue siblings), and these cars were the most common police cruisers in America throughout most of the 1980s and well into the 1990s. You won't see many Diplomats today, but I found this high-luxe civilian Salon version in my local Denver self-service yard. This one was purchased new in Cheyenne, which is just up I-25 from Denver. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. A Diplomat was one of the automotive protagonists in the classic car-chase scene from the 1990 film, Short Time. Diplomats have figured heavily in many films over the years. I got my first driver's license in 1982, in a Navy town with ruthless Diplomat-equipped traffic-law enforcement, and so my right foot still twitches in the direction of a brake pedal when I see this grille. This one was full of Denver-centric ephemera from the early-to-middle 1990s, layered with the shredded paper and rodent poop that indicates long-term outdoor storage, so I'm guessing that the car's elderly owner stopped driving it 20 years ago and it sat until finally evicted by an angry landlord. These cars weren't known for being particularly quick in stock form. This one has the carbureted 318-cubic-inch V8 (yes, some cars still had carburetors as late as 1988), good for 140 horsepower.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Dodge Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.
