Rare California Emissions matching numbers, original build sheet in hand, 1974 Dodge Challenger Muscle Car.

This is a pretty much unmolested car free from body panel replacements and even the fender bolts have never been loosened. This has the original 318 V8 motor with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and carburetor. It has a set of ceramic-coated headers, and HEI ignition. It is an original AC car with power brakes, power steering, and floor shift with console. It has tinted windows, new carpet, Alpine CD, custom pin striping, all new front suspension, and show chrome plated original bumpers.

This car was purchased from the original owner who bought this from Kearny Mesa Dodge in 1974. They drove it for years before replacing it, and then parking it in the garage where it sat for years.  The car's motor was later rebuilt their adult child, and then I purchased it. The car was in great original condition but needed TLC to make it the daily drive it is now.  Interior is 2 months old and never sat on.  Engine and transmission was removed, detailed, and reinstalled.  Front suspension inludes all new ball joints, bushings, shocks, and alignment. This is an exceptionally rust free car visible underneath. All the body panels are original rust free sunny Southern California condition.

The car was originally light blue before recently painted House of Kolor Burple. Interior was blue changed to black. A newly installed big tube Magna Flow exhaust makes this car sound and run great. 19" Boss wheels have been installed but I have the original sport wheels that are included in this sale. Turn key and cruise away. This car will not depreciate like other cars, this car will continue to appreciate in value.  We need the room, and all bikes and cars will be sold.

I have pictures of the car in its original color for serious buyers.  Copy of original build sheet is pictured.

No need for restoration, this car is in great running original condition and ready to drive. I may consider partial trade or trade.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Sat, 26 Jul 2014



Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
