1974 Dodge Challenger Rally Stroker project. Original 24,000 mile 318 car with 500 CID stroker 550 horsepower pump gas street motor. Before me, this car was owned by 1 family. EXTERIOR: The body is all original panels with the exception of the trunk floor and rear quarter patch panels and extensions. Original floor pans are excellent and underside is in wonderful condition. Needs body work and paint. It has been stored indoors most of its life and in a heated garage last 6 years. I was planning on painting it black and the engine compartment has been painted allready. Rally hood. Have all exterior trim and some pieces are NOS. 2 front fiberglass header panels. Grill (2) are mint also excellent bumper filler pieces. Excellent original bumpers both front and rear. Valances are in great condition. Glass is all good but may be missing 1 of the door glasses. Rear light lenses are excellent. Has a go wing and another trunk lid is included in auction. The trunk lid is 100% rust free and nice. Both front fenders and hood are good but do show somwe rust. INTERIOR: Very very nice. Rally dash is in excellent condition, NO CRACKS. all ready to go. The guages are in excellent condition. The needles were painted to brighten them up and the lens polished. All plastic is pretty much perfect. I have had a number of challengers and this car was being built for myself. If there was a flaw, it was replaced, so the console, door panels, rear sail panels and all the dash parts are nice. Locks rechromed. Visors perfect and rearview mirror detailed. I am including some overhead console parts as I was going to install one and a rear defogger motor.(N/A 1974) Brake and gas pedals have been painted and detailed. Factory AM radio is excellent as the knobs. You will need to buy carpet and headliner other than that nothing else appears missing. All the window crank handles have excellent chrome. Other than that the interior should be done. The seats are in excellent original condition. They are soft, clean, and ready to use. Some imperfections on the driverside seat (minor) but nothing needs replaced. Also the 3 spoke steering wheel in picture has been replaced with the excellent original 2 spoke. DRIVELINE: This Auction includes 2 fresh unfired engines. The 493 cost approx 8500.00 ALONE! The numbers matching original 318 I had gone through. The machinest said he had no problem believing the motor only had 24k. Anyways I had him go through and put bearings rings etc. and rebuild the motor to stock specs so if a guy wanted to redo the car to stock specs, that one is fresh, 230 horsepower and ready to go. The motor I planned on putting in it is a 1970 440 now a 493 CID stroker motor. Complete long block. Intake to pan. Built by reputable speed shop. I have the build sheet. It should produce over 500 ft/lb torque and around 550 horsepower give or take 10%. Edelbrock ALUMINUM heads, roller rockers, etc etc etc. NO corners cut. Built to run on pump gas, sit in traffic and actually use during the week but be able to run 11 second quarter miles on the weekend. I have over 8000.00 in motor alone. Transmission was rebuilt and I used it in a 1969 Coronet R/T 440 6 pack. Has very little use. manual valve body, reverse pattern, shift kit etc. Expensive Hi stall converter. Also have the original numbers tranny (I think iots a 904) Comes with 2 -8 3/4 rear ends. The stock one and I was putting reinforced a body (narrower) with hanger relocation kit. Rear axle is beautiful painted heavy on the glitter! 3 inch studs, green bearings etc. 355 posi, 489 case. Also New leaf springs. I could write for hours and hours. SERIOUS BUYERS ALLWAYS CALL. Please do. I will answer any questions you may have. There are many parts that go with the car that were not ness to its restoration but my garage is losing all E body stuff I have. There is another set of seats, a dash, a complete front suspension. I am hoping to sell this car to someone going the resto mod route that can use everything sell whats extra or build another.If the car does not bring what I need to sell I will be listing the car as a stock project and seperateing the 500, and tranny as that is a large chunk of the pie. Also I am including multipule wiring harnesses. Think of it like one of those models you had when you were a kid. the kit came with both stock and Hi-per versions. You decide!! I have had 450 transactions on ebay and 1 bad buyer that has affected my feedback. It is bound to happen sooner or later but I want to reassure buyer. I have had 100% positive feedback for 10 years. I will assist any way I can in shipping. I will sell car less motor (500) and trans (727) for 8900.00

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/videos]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Darrell Waltrip once said, "If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting." The sentiment behind that aphorism is causing my adrenal gland to wake up as Dodge and SRT drivers and engineers - somber-faced to a man - give me the track talk that will precede my driving the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT on the circuit at Portland International Raceway. PIR might not be Daytona, and the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat might seem tame to a legend like ol' Jaws, but there's a not-small part of me that's thinking about how hard Dodge's fire-breathing kitty might bite.
Just a few hours previous, I'd gotten behind the wheel of the Hellcat for the first time, letting its hyperbole-spitting, supercharged V8 Hemi pull me yieldingly through Portland's morning commuter traffic. Lulled into a cocky certainty by the Challenger's good manners at low speed, I drove the throttle just a hair too deep, too fast when I ran on to the highway ramp. For just an instant the rear tires were utterly drenched in torque, and the back end of the big Dodge loosened up like a drift car on a wet track. Throttle steer lives at the fleeting whim of your right foot in this car.
It was no big thing to lay off the gas and pull the Hellcat back in line as I entered the highway, but the incident did get me to thinking: What will this car do to me on a road course?
Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
SRT reveals Satin Vapor Edition 300, Charger and Challenger SRT models
Fri, 07 Feb 2014With the exception of some notable truck and van introductions, Chrysler brands have tended to use the Chicago Auto Show to bring out new special editions, pimp their aftermarket parts support or indulge in the occasional flight of fancy. That plan is holding true for 2014, as well. Cases in point are these new Satin Vapor Editions of the 2014-model-year Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 - all from SRT.
The Satin Vapor name may sound like a failed 1970s glam-rock band, or a pseudo-gynecological diagnosis from the Old West, but is, in fact, pretty much a tape-and-trim package for this trio of hi-po Mopars. 300, Challenger and Charger alike come shod with 20-inch aluminum wheels finished in Black Satin Vapor Chrome, and are accented with Satin Black bits aplenty. The 300 gets blacked-out mirrors, spoiler and roof; the Challenger applies it to mirrors and its fuel door; while the Charger has the stuff covering its roof, hood and Super Bee tail graphic.
Interiors of the cars have been mildly updated as well, with all three getting some combination of Nappa leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiberish finishes.
