You are bidding on an ALL original BARN find 1970 Charger R/T 440. Car was sold new in Kansas and was sold to 2nd owner in early 80's. I purchased it from him. The car is a NUMBERS matching original car. The exterior of the car is ORIGINAL. Yes it has dings and dents and minor rust behind rear tires but the are only original ONCE.
The rusted areas of the car are as FOLLOWS and are MINOR
Both rear quarters behind tires(just the outer the inners,wheel,and wheel tubs look good)
The center of the trunk pan(has holes size of nickels in it from mat holding water

And last the rear tail pan corners(very normal area to rust on these cars) above tail pipes
Thats it!!!!!!!!The bottoms of the doors are unbelievable they are as shiney as they were when new. All floors,doors,fenders,etc are VERY NICE and rust free. This is a very unique car being a TRUE R/T 440 that hasnt been butchered, tore into a million pieces..
The DRIVETRAIN is correct and original to the car(partial vin is on block pad) The original motor was removed and replaced with a 72 440 years ago. The car runs great. The original motor has been disassembled to be rebuilt. It was believed to of had a burned valve. It was removed in 80 and stored inside on a pallet. It is in good shape and all looks good(correct heads,intake,carb,air cleaner,etc) I have a build sheet that was found under seat that matches numbers on car. It was a FACTORY power steering,power brake,AC car. The ac pump and brakes are included but not currently on motor. I have included a pic of original door sticker and fender tag.

Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
