Up for sale is this awesome 1974 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger. This car just went through a complete professional restoration, and nearly every nut and bolt is new. All rotted metal was cut out and replaced, no bondo was used on this ride. The car was just repainted, in awesome Plum Crazy metallic paint. New fiberglass hood, with hood scoop, new fiberglass bumpers, new marker lights, new weatherstrips everywhere, and new windshield.

 

Car was originally a 318, but was replaced with a rebuilt 440, that has under 10,000 miles. Everything else is new and has less than 200 miles, including: a rebuilt 727 transmission with a shift kit and B&M Quicksilver shifter, a new custom made driveshaft, and a rebuilt rear. New headers with a 3" Flowmaster exhaust. Rebuilt carb. New Champion aluminum radiator with electric cooling fan. Chrome valve covers, alternator and pullies. MSD Ignition and distributor. New gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder. New front and rear sway bars. Also, both center headlights were removed and replaced with a chromed out, cold ram air system with dual air filters and you really feel it when you step on the gas.

 

The interior is also completely redone. New carpet, seat covers front and rear, Grant steering wheel, headliner, custom floor mats and a new dash pad. Blue LED lighting added under seats and dash. And Blue LED streetglow around the underneath side of car, that really lights up the road.

 

Now the negatives, which are basically insignificant when compared to all of the new items on this restored classic.

The windshield wipers have stopped working. I just found out that it is an electrical issue that may possibly be corrected soon. Also, the fuel gauge does not work. The rods in the doors are not connected to the key locks, so it can not be locked from the outside- only from the inside. So there are a few little things that need to be fixed, but for what this car will be used for, they do not need to be fixed immediately to enjoy the car. A hose going to the steering box has a very small leak- I am currently working on fixing this issue.

All of the minor issues listed above are accounted for in the reserve price. 

-As you can see in these pictures, there is a small chip in the paint on the molding that is attached to the fender, not the fender. The chip is slightly touched up to the point that it is barely noticeable. All other paint is flawless and just about show quality, no dents, no scratches.

- Also, although the vinyl top is new, it has a couple of small wrinkles near the back. You will have to look very closely to even notice.

 

The reserve is set very reasonably. I have done my very best to list even the smallest issues, so there will be absolutely no surprises when you view the car. I purchased this vehicle mid-way through the summer last year.  Since that time, my financial situation has changed. Over 40k has been spent to rebuild the car. Getting divorced last year has really sent my finances for a loop! I need to part with some things I really enjoy, but do not need to survive.  My loss is your gain. Good luck!

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

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.
