The Body is refinished in its original R6 red paint including the interior floors, trunk floors, engine compartment, and complete undercarrage. The paint was sprayed in a brand new down draft heated paint booth. (I think this was the 5th car painted in the booth). Then almost fourty hours of color sanding and several stages of buffing. With a lot of cars on-line, the vehicles look better in pictures then in person. With this car, the pictures do not do it justice. This car must be seen in person to be appreciated. It was painted four years ago and in storage ever since.
The Interior compartment has a brand new carpet, new seat covers and foam, new headliner, door panels and trim, new seat belts, new console and trim, rechromed shifter, new sills and more. The insturment cluster has been restored by Auto Insturments. The guages were refinished and calabrated, the needles were bead blasted and repainted and the plastic chrome was refinsihed which all make this unit looking and functioning like new. This charger was radio delete so there is no stereo. All the window seals and gaskets have been replaced and all the window slides and felts are new also. All the glass was removed during painted and was buffed before reinstalling. The windshield (clear, not tinted) is new.
The undercarrage was sandblasted and refinished. It has three different types of primers were applied before it was base coat/clear coated in R6 red. The exhaust is reproduction. All the shocks are correct, suspension was restored to original as well as brakes, fuel lines, brake lines, bushings, emergency brake cables, body plugs, gas tank, sending unit, straps, ect.
The engine is a cast 1969 block. It is not matching numbers to the car. It has been completely rebuilt. It has the correct carter carburator, it has been rebuilt and rejetted to the cam card of the rebuilt kit used. Also the engine has the correct intake and exhaust manifolds, the correct water pump housing, the correct valve covers, the correct wiring with reproduction identication stickers wrapped around the them. The correct heater hoses, correct vacuum hoses for the hideaway headlights, the correct distributer and coil with the 2 of 69 build date. It has the correct battey cables with tags. There are reproduction enging compartment decals throughout. It has a standard battery with a battery topper on it. This 440 runs strong and smooth with only less then 100 miles on it since its rebuild. It has a crane cam and rollor rockers from the 440 souce. There is a new compition clutch behind it.
The transmission has been rebuilt and refinished. It is matching numbers aer original to the car.
The rear is a brand new unit from DTS drum to drum. The chrome diff cover ofcorse not correct, but that could easily be corrected by the new owner if so desired.
The wheels are magnum 500s which according to the build sheet are not correct. The car came with 14 inch steel wheels with hub caps from the factory with red line tires. We choose to use the 15 inch magnums with BF Goodrich radial red line tires for looks. This can also be easily swapped by the new owner.
The trunk compartment was also restored to original. The trunk floors are original and solid. The inside of the quarter panels were refinished body color, the jack was restored and repainted. The spare wears the same BF Goodrich red line tire thats on the other four wheels.
The brakes are all drum with is correct according to the build sheet.
The grill has been restored, there are no broken teeth in it. The headlight doors work properly as well.
I tried to cover everything. Please ask questions and come see the car for yourself in person. Vehicle is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early for the right offer.
There is a facebook page for this car simply called Charger Rt There are over 80 pictures ( all close ups ) As the days go by I will be posting more pics, mostly undercarrage. Click on the links below for the pictures.

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.
Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper
Fri, 08 Feb 2013It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.
Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks
Sat, 09 Nov 2013Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."
