Just email me at: kriskkkualii@irishhome.net .
This is a real 1970 Dodge Challenger RT 440 v-code 6 pac car. It is NOT a shaker hood purple car. I added a photo
of what the car looked like in the 80's So you understand the history of the car. The owner at that time bought it
off of a board at the local car parts store at that time it had a 340 6 pac and retained its factory color of F3
light green metallic. Still had a 4spd and dana with 4;10 gears. After purchasing the car he had all the custom
work done and did not care it was a V-code car and does not know what happened to the fender tag and he does not
remember the guys name he bought it from. The car and history is well known in the St Louis mo mopar area. But that
is as far back as the history of the car is known. So what is known is it was F3 green 440 6 pac 4spd dana super
trac pac car.
In the late 80's the car had a electrical fire and burnt the interior up and the insurance company totaled the
car out. He bought it back and striped the car and it went to the junk yard and sat there for a few years until
somebody peeled back the white fur on the dash and saw the vin number and saved it from the junk yard and it was
passed around to 4 or 5 owners until I got it and restored it to the condition it is now.
I decided to restore it how I would of ordered it new. I got it as a shell and it came out of body shop that did
not finish it they replaced a frame rail due to setting on the ground and the roof skin was warped from the fire.
They also had partial quarters on it when I got it. I cut them off and put Good Mark full quarters on and finished
all the body work and did full rotisserie restoration and painted it with the help from the owner of Claydoe Custom
paint. That was 9 years ago. The interior is Legendary. The gauges are original with the clock and tac rebuilt and
work perfect. The motor is bored 30 over with sealed power forged pistons 6 pac rods and balancer and the hemi oil
pan with high volume pump oil psi is between 60 and 80 psi. The heads have stainless steel valves and hardened
seats and are set up to run super unleaded pump gas. The intake is the cast iron one with original Holley carbs
rebuilt by Pro-Max out of Indy. Motor runs great I have it set up with a Chrysler 4spd overdrive transmission with
the 4;10 gears it turns 2600 rpms at 70 So the car is very driveable I have been on 3 power tours with the car with
no problems would not be afraid to take it again tomorrow. It is a fun car to drive and take to shows and cruises.
The car is not a 100 point show car the paint has a few blemishes and nics and scratches and there is a small
bubble on the bottom of the driver door. As you can tell by the pictures it is beautiful car and shows very well
you can take it to any local show and take home a trophy. The under carrage is still shinny and looks great Last
year on the Hot Rod Power tour coming out of Madison. Wi.

2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.
Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.
Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
