Up for sale is this awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger. This car just went through a complete professional restoration, and nearly every nut and bolt is new. All rotted metal was cut out and replaced, no bondo was used on this ride. The car was just repainted, in awesome Plum Crazy metallic paint. New fiberglass hood, with hood scoop, new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, and new windshield.

 

Car was originally a 318, but was replaced with a rebuilt 440, that has under 10,000 miles. Everything else is new and has less than 200 miles, 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 and 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 completely 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, which are basically insignificant when compared to all of the new items on this restored classic.

The windshield wipers have stopped working. I just found out that it is an electrical issue that may possibly be corrected soon. Also, the fuel gauge does not work. The rods in the doors are not connected to the key locks, so it can not be locked from the outside- only from the inside. So there are a few little things that need to be fixed, but for what this car will be used for, they do not need to be fixed immediately to enjoy the car. A hose going to the steering box has a very small leak- I am currently working on fixing this issue.

All of the minor issues listed above are accounted for in the reserve price. 

-As you can see in these pictures, there is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the fender, not the fender. The chip is slightly touched up to the point that it is barely noticeable. 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. You will have to look very closely to even notice.

 

The reserve is set very reasonably. I have done my very best to list even the smallest issues, so there will be absolutely no surprises when you view the car. I purchased this vehicle mid-way through the summer last year.  Since that time, my financial situation has changed. Over 40k has been spent to rebuild the car. Getting divorced last year has really sent my finances for a loop! I need to part with some things I really enjoy, but do not need to survive.  My loss is your gain. Good luck!

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.

Dodge celebrates big B-day with 100th Anniversary Editions muscle cars

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Being in business for 100 years is a HUGE milestone, so we hope Dodge has more in mind to celebrate its centennial than just a special edition package for the 2014 Charger and Challenger. Called the 100th Anniversary Edition package, this collection of cosmetic enhancements will be available in limited quantities for both cars at a cost of $2,500.
Ordering a Charger or Challenger with the 100th Anniversary Edition package means starting with either a V6-powered SXT Plus or V8-powered R/T Plus model. They can each be ordered in many colors, but only the High-Octane Red Pearl Coat above is an anniversary exclusive. Each car also comes with an anniversary-exclusive set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels with what Dodge calls "Granite Crystal pockets," a texture that's also mirrored on each car's grille.
Of course, there are commemorative badges galore affixed to the exterior of each car, including "Dodge Est. 1914" fender badges and "100" logos on the center caps of each wheel. The styling theme of each car's interior is a bit more interesting, with Dodge designers trying to evoke "the patina and machinist legacy of John and Horace Dodge," the company's founders. To that end, the leather interior can be had in Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa, and each features a custom cloud overprint that makes the hide look like a working man's dirty dungarees. Designers also used brass-colored accent stitching on the interior's leather trim pieces, and affixed more "Dodge Est. 1914" badges to the front seat backs and floor mats. We do like the flat-bottomed steering wheel, and the Challenger 100th Anniversary Edition gets exclusive white gauges faces and the Charger black. The "100" on each car's speedometer is also highlighted in red.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
