On Feb-01-14 at 10:33:50 PST, seller added the following information: 1 of 417 made (including the 50 export). 340-4bbl, 727 auto, all matching numbers. Total restoration in 2004. Most Every nut, bolt, washer either replaced or redone. I'm the 3rd owner. Car is originally from mid Ohio. The 1st and 2nd owners were best friends, so I have the complete history on the car, including the original window sticker and broadcast sheet. I've owned it since March 1995. I had a 68 Dart 170/6 in high school and fell in love with the 69 GTS then. I started looking for a 69 GTS convertible in 1987, wanting a white top, white interior and white stripe. I didn't care what the body color was as long as I got my white. It took about 8 years for a white top/interior to come up for sale. Currently has about 121,000 miles. Engine was rebuilt to stock by Muscle Motors. They did go .030 over and did some head/valve work. Original exhaust manifolds, but a 2 1/2" exhaust. The only original sheet metal on it now is the hood and the doors. Everything was shot. After taking the car down, the body man called me, had me look at it, and asked me, "Am I sure I want to go thru with this on this bad of a car?" By this time, I knew what I had, being all matching #s and as rare as it is, I figured, let's do it! The front fenders and truck lid came from a rust-free California 6 cyl Dart. The rear quarters are reproduction. I did the complete disassembly and re-assembly, but farmed out the body/paint and rebuilding of engine and trans. I even bought a buffer to buff all the stainless trim myself. The front grille and wheel covers are original and were restored by Totally Auto in PA. They told me I have the 'most expensive set of wheel covers in the country'. It was invited to and shown at the 2007 Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals held in Carlisle, PA. It was awarded 3rd Place at Autorama 2008 - Detroit Michigan It was invited to the Willistead Classic Concours d'Elegance in Windsor Canada on August 24th 2008. It was in the July 2009 edition of MuscleCar Enthusiast, (4 page article)

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack adds power and noise, with a warranty
Thu, 17 Apr 2014If you want to go fast, there's certainly nothing wrong with the Dodge Challenger SRT8. With 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque for 2014, there's certainly not much to complain about. But what if you want something more aftermarket in flavor? There's no shortage of options, but while turning to the tuner world will make your car plenty fast, that extra power won't just shred rear tires, it'll torch your warranty, as well. That's where Dodge's Scat Pack comes in.
With three stages of mods for both the 5.7 and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s Challenger (as well as the 5.7-liter Charger and, soon, the four-pot Dart), the Scat Pack cars give drivers all the power, aggression and noise of a heavily modded aftermarket car while maintaining the piece of mind provided by the Dodge warranty.
Power gets bumped up to 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque with the 6.4-liter Scat Pack, while the 5.7-liter can provide up to 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque to add to the stock engine's 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet. It's the latter engine that can really get some work done, with upgrades ranging from the mundane - intake and exhaust - to the racy, like the ported heads and high-flow headers.
Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
