This is a real 1970 Dodge Charger R/T 440 (U Code), automatic (727) barn find car.
Factory Rallye red (FE5) with black vinyl interior, black vinyl roof and factory stripe(s) delete...super cool color combo on the last of the great Chargers.
Magnum 500 wheels, 8.75 rear (non SureGrip), console floor shift, buckets, tic toc tac, 150 speedo dash.
This car is 100% original & all #'s matching (Dash vin, door sticker, body vin stamps, motor vin, tranny vin, fender tag & super clean build sheet....even copy of original owner's title - it's all there!)
1 of 7,131 R/T 440-4 automatic cars built - while the #'s for FE5 cars is not clear, the fact is very few of them probably aren't left unmolested these days.
The car is wearing all it's original body panels, interior & drive train. The interior is still good driver condition except the driver's seat has some rips & console is cracked in back.
This car has had some recent work done to it in preparation for a light resto that didn't happen:
New distributor
New fuel tank & straps
New battery
New brakes & master cylinder
Cleaned up carb & the car now runs & drives great after sitting for 25 years~.....no oil dripping OR smoking :)
However, the car isn't mint & definitely needs attention:
Rear quarter panels have rust
Rear floor pans have some rust
Rear valence is rusty
Sail panel has some rust around back window
Trunk gutters have rust
Front floors have some rust - patching at the least (possibly new pans?)
The worst parts of the car are the front drivers side frame rail (old battery leaked from sitting down onto the rail & it's very soft all the way back to the drivers floor board) AND the trunk pan - it's basically gone.
This car can either be a full blown tear down resto trailer queen OR repair as you go driver (assuming you fix the rail 1st at the very least)
But it definitely runs & drives fine now.
This car is stored in GA & it's a non-title state meaning the car is registered & will be sold with a bill of sale + current GA registration from seller. If you're a title state - this paperwork will get you one in your state.
Copy of original owner title, build sheet & fender tag are included.
The build sheet calls for this car as an EXPORT (likely ordered out of the states by military).
Own a super cool Mopar Muscle car that is factory correct from the air cleaner to rims!
Reserve is set & won't be disclosed...if you want to make a strong offer (be serious & make one) otherwise once the bidding/reserve is met -- this car will be selling here until the auction ENDS. Good luck & if you need anymore information - ask.
Local bidders are welcome to see the car.

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad soldiers on in the Chi
Thu, 06 Feb 2014Introduced to the market in 2008 and updated in 2011, the Dodge Journey crossover has had all the freshness of a retirement village in recent years. Filling a potentially important niche for Dodge as an affordable, family-sized vehicle, the Journey has gotten one last mild refresh here in Chicago. Feast your mild-appearance-package-loving eyes on the 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad.
We can't be sure if the inspiration for the Crossroad appellation was the 2002 blockbuster film, Crossroads, starring Britney Spears, or the 1986 cult-classic, Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio, but based on the CUV's newfound boyish charm, we're betting on the Karate Kid.
Dark finish 19-inch wheels, platinum chrome accents and a manly new front fascia tell the world that this isn't the Dodge Journey that they've long since forgotten about. In fairness, the Crossroad is easily the best-looking iteration of the Journey to date, and should be better to live with, too, considering its revised cabin, leather seats and standard Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
