1972 Dodge Challenger, 440/4 5 Spd Tranny on 2040-cars
Ellicott City, Maryland, United States
So I went down to the big car show at Daytona Beach this last Winter with a buddy with the intension of walking around and trying to buy the most appealing muscle car to me under $50k ... Because of the paint body stance condition and running gear , this was my choice , I got it home tinkered with it and it's largely gone under driven since then ... I've got about 19 cars , mostly European and whereas this one is beautiful well mannered and fast for whatever reasons I've only exercised it once a week out of obligation ... I'm okay with having it in the collection representing Mopar well but it really deserves to be somebody's number one car and to be loved and driven accordingly ... The guy I bought it from was from s Carolina ... He was detailed in his explanations of what he had done but didn't have good records so none convey ... It's a very straight well sorted car ... The engine and tranny are clearly fresh ... The oil doesn't even darken after I've driven it several hundred miles ... Aluminum heads ... 750 dual feed carb ... Tremec. 5 spd gearbox (great upgrade!) all work well , as do brakes clutch and all associated running gear . I've got correct steering wheel and hub that will convey . New rubber with fat 275/60/15s BFGs in rear and 225s up front ... Great stance and turnable without power steering at low speed ... All in all a very nice example with all the right stuff ... Low reserve but not silly... Call or write w questions ... Feel free to schedule an inspection or test ride if local ...good luck...Phil 410-963-0547

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.
Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Fans 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.
Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.
