I bought it from a well known local collector as a project. The car was allready torn down. The miles are said to be actual. The car was bought new by a man who simply didn't use it much and then went to his son who was going to restore it and tore it down and that is is far as it got. That was many years ago. He sold it to the collector I bought it from. I have owned the car approx. 6 years. I was building my dream car and had no intentions of it being stock so some of the original pieces (mostly underhood parts) will be missing. The car is mostly complete and there are many many extra parts you don't need that go with this auction. I am tring to sell everything at once. If that does not work, I will sell car with stock stuff and seperate the high performance performance parts. Basicly, I am cleaning my garage of all my E body parts. Here it goes."

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

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
