1971 Dodge Challenger Classic Mopar Muscle Resto-mod (number's Matching) on 2040-cars
Year:1971

This 1971 Dodge Challenger is a #2 show car with numbers matching engine, transmission & chassis. For comparison, a #1 show car is a museum piece that is not driven but rather trailered to concourse shows. This beautiful Challenger is one step down from a #1 concourse museum show car - a real fast beauty that you can drive & take to car shows. It's always a crowd favorite. This classic Mopar muscle show car is the proud recipient of countless car show awards including best of show, best paint, best engine, best interior, best muscle car, etc. This is a solid California car with all original body panels & only minor metal replacement needed during the restoration near the rear wheels & below the rear windshield. Front windshield has been replaced & all other glass is good. This Mopar muscle street machine is more of a restomod than anything, despite the matching numbers. Countless performance upgrades make this 318/323cid LA smallblock engine, which was bored .030" over during the rebuild, a force to be reckoned with on the street with more horsepower than even the 440 six pack Mopars (395HP) that came from the factory back in the day. This smallblock engine puts out a stout 400HP & has excellent 3.55 sure grip street gears to get all that power to the pavement when you want it most. The engine has nearly double the power that it came with from the factory. Under the hood is pure eye candy with all the power & authority to back it up. With DOT BFGoodrich street legal slicks this car has run consistent 13.6 second quarter mile times at over 102 mph at the local drag strip & I have the time slips to back it up. The DOT slicks are no longer on the car but have been replaced with new BFGoodrich radial TA's, installed on genuine new Cragar-SS 7"X15" chrome wheels. The engine is very responsive & still ultra-fresh with only 5000 miles since the meticulous rebuild (See engine performance upgrade specs below). Every circuit of the fuel curve in this engine has been mapped with a computer & tuned to just the right specs for the most power when it's needed & good fuel economy at idle or when you're cruising. The interior is custom restored with all the original stock furniture, panels & controls with the addition of a nice 200W Pioneer CD player stereo. The only items not restored inside are the dashboard, seatbelts & dimmer switch. The interior dimmer switch for the dome light does not work properly. This is a very easy fix. Everything else inside was either replaced or restored. Inside there is a new headliner, new carpet, new seat foam & custom two tone vinyl seat covers with cloth inserts, new custom cloth & vinyl upholstery on the stock door panels, new upholstery on all interior panels, sun visors, rear interior deck, custom floor mats, & new burgundy paint on all the metal interior molding. The center console has also been repainted with burgundy vinyl paint & the chrome/woodgrain console insert was covered in the same burgundy pearl paint to match the outside of the car. The outside is PPG Burgundy Berry Pearl base-clear paint in excellent condition with only very minor blems & a few tiny nicks. This car is a driver, not a trailer queen, so it’s got some character road dust underneath & some tiny nicks on the lower rear quarters from doing burnouts at the drag strip. Brakes, master cylinder, brake lines, BFG TA/Radial tires, water pump, fuel pump & steering box are all new or rebuilt to the highest specs. A new heater core comes with the car but does not yet need replaced. The trunk has been painted, undercoated & detailed moderately (Nothin fancy in the trunk). All chrome has been re-chromed & the front grille is custom painted with great attention to detail & enough modifications to make it unique. The drivetrain specifications & performance upgrade details are listed below. See list below for all the performance upgrades throughout the car. Please contact me if you would like more details or to answer any questions you might have. I can also send more pictures if necessary, but please be specific about which items you want pictures of.
Due to errors in the previous listing of this awesome Mopar, the previous auction ad has been deleted & relisted with corrections. Even though bidding had not yet reached my reserve price, Ebay would not allow me to delete the erroneous information due to website policy. Therefore I deeply regret having to delete & relist my ad. Being clear & accurate in my ad both for the sake of legitimate bidders & my own feedback rating is of the highest priority to me as an Ebayer. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience this has caused for my valued bidders & hope that you understand. |

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with '600-plus horsepower' officially unveiled [w/video]
Tue, 20 May 2014Dodge has officially unveiled the most powerful vehicle to ever wear the Challenger name - the SRT Hellcat - complete with over 600 horsepower courtesy of a supercharged, 6.2-liter Hemi V8. It will be offered alongside the 485-hp Challenger SRT.
The new, force-induced V8 isn't just the most powerful ever fitted to the Challenger, it's the most powerful eight-cylinder Chrysler Group has ever built. Power figures aren't finalized, so expect to see "over 600 hp" bandied about quite a lot. That fury will be channeled through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Yes, over 600 ponies through an eight-speed auto. So far, the only vehicle we know of that delivers more output through that many gears is the as-yet untested Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Sadly, we don't have performance metrics just yet, although if this thing can't crack four seconds to 60 miles per hour, we'll be pretty surprised.
As is the theme nowadays, the 2015 Challenger SRT features a number of driving modes, governing power output, shift speeds for the 8AT, steering effort, traction control settings and suspension settings. There are three pre-programmed options - Default, Sport and Track - and a Custom mode that allows drivers to mix and match to their heart's content.
2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop glosses over performance
Tue, 14 Jan 2014The Dodge Dart is a decent little car. It's honest, basic transportation, and many of us at Autoblog are genuinely fond of the Alfa Romeo-based compact sedan. For 2014, not a whole lot changes in the Dart world, save the addition of this new Blacktop edition that makes its debut here at the Detroit Auto Show.
It's all very simple, this Blacktop package, and doesn't actually alter performance in any way. Instead, buyers are treated to blacked-out exterior bits like 18-inch wheels, the crosshair grille and headlamp bezels. Inside, black/tungsten or black/red cloth seats are available, with red contrast stitching throughout the cabin.
Adding the Blacktop pack to your Dart SXT with the Rallye Appearance Group will set you back a scant $295, and while it's just an appearance package, it all looks pretty nice to us.
Chrysler Recalling Nearly 907,000 Cars, SUVs
Fri, Oct 17 2014Nearly 907,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep SUVs and cars are being recalled for alternators that can fail and heated power mirror wiring that can short and cause minor fires. The recalls, posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators, push the total number of recalls so far this year 544, totaling a record of more than 52 million vehicles. The largest of Thursday's recalls covers nearly 470,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Chrysler 300s, and Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Durangos from the 2011 through 2014 model years. The alternators can fail, causing the 3.6-liter V6 engines to stall unexpectedly. The problem also can cause the electrical system to fail, as well as knock out power-assisted steering, antilock brakes and electronic stability control. It can even cause fire or smoke, according to documents Chrysler filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA opened an investigation into the problem in July, and Chrysler began its own probe in August. The company analyzed warranty complaints and alternators that had failed. The alternator generates electricity to recharge the battery and run other devices. Chrysler investigators traced the problem to heat fatigue in an alternator diode. Chrysler said it received 322 complaints about the problem, while 55 people complained to NHTSA. The company said it knows of one crash related to the problem, but no injuries or fires. The company will replace the alternators with upgraded versions for free. Owners will be notified in November. The company says customers who see warning lights or suspect a problem should contact their dealers. The recall affects cars and SUVs sold mainly in the U.S. and Canada, but some were sold in Mexico and overseas markets. The second recall covers almost 437,000 Jeep Wranglers from 2011 through 2013. Water can find its way into the heated power mirror wiring harness and cause corrosion. That can cause a short and could cause a minor fire and smoke, as well as cause loss of function of the mirror. The problem was discovered in February after three Wranglers in Canada were damaged. Chrysler says it has 26 complaints about the problem, but it knows of no fires, crashes or injuries. Dealers will move the wiring and install a protective shield to keep water out at no cost to owners, starting in December. Most of the Wranglers are in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, but more than 78,000 were sold overseas.
