1974 Dodge Challenger 440 on 2040-cars
Clairton, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is an amazing vehicle that you will have to see to believe! This awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge
Challenger. Nearly every nut and bolt is new- the car just went through a complete professional restoration. All rotted metal was cut out and
replaced, no bondo was used in the completely professional restoration. The car was just repainted in this dazzling Plum Crazy metallic paint, with black racing stripes down both sides
to really give it a really mean street racer look. New fiberglass hood with hood scoop,
new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, new
windshield.
Car was originally a 318 but was replaced with a
rebuilt 440 that has under 10,000 miles. Everything is else is new and has less
than 600 miles on it. Including a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift
kit and b&m quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a
rebuilt rear. New headers with a 3" flowmaster exhaust.
Rebuilt carb. New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling
fan. Chrome valve covers, alternator, pullies. Msd Ignition and
Distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder. New
front and rear sway bars. Also, both center headlights were removed and
replaced with a chromed out cold ram air system with dual air filters and you
really feel it when you step on the gas.
The interior is also completly redone. New
carpet, seat covers front and rear, grant steering wheel, headliner, custom
floor mats and a new dash pad. Blue led lighting added under seats and
dash. And blue led streetglow around the underneath side of car that
really lights up the road.
NOW THE NEGATIVES, and there aren't many.. -There is a
small chip in the paint on the MOLDING thats attached to the fender, not the
fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and you really dont even notice it,
can easily be fixed. All other paint is flawless and just about show
quality, no dents, no scratches. - Also, although the vinyl top is new it has
a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the drivers side seam is a tiny
wavy. -Fuel gauge is inoperative -Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected -Seat belts not installed
Other than these small thing the car is just about perfect, it
runs and shifts perfectly, and its got plenty of power. The reserve is
set very reasonably, i have over 40k into car, my loss is your gain. Good
luck On Nov-06-13 at 15:27:20 PST, seller added the following information:

Now a few negatives, and there aren't many. I believe in full disclosure and honesty. I do not want there to be any surprises. I am glad to point out any negatives because there are very few. They are not a big deal when considering how much hard earned cash has been recently put into this beauty! There is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the fender, not on the fender. The chip is slightly touched up, and unless it is pointed out, you probably will not even notice it at first look. All of the other paint is flawless and just about Show Quality: no dents, no scratches. The vinyl top is new. However, it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back, and the driver’s side seam is slightly wavy. Fuel gauge is inoperative. Doors lock from the inside only, rods need reconnected. Seat belts not installed. Other than these small items, the car is just about perfect. This monster runs and shifts perfectly, and it has plenty of power. The reserve
is set very reasonably. ------------------------> Over $40,000 has been spent on the restoration items detailed above! <------------------------ I am in a position where I need to sell this car. My loss is your gain. Good luck with your bidding- someone is about to get a steal on this amazing vehicle! |

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
