1974 Dodge Charger Metallic Green Unrestored Rock Solid 493 Stroker on 2040-cars
Marietta, New York, United States
1974 dodge charger all original body. Original spare tire and jack original 14 inch rally rims with trim rings. The engine and trans are not original the car started as a 318 car. And now has a 440 block and 727 I USED CUSTOM MOTOR MOUNTS !!!! UNCUT ORIGINAL K MEMBER. Meaning converting back To small block. Would be very easy to do but any way the body is absolutely Solid as a rock the only rust bubble on the whole car is on the driver side rear fender. Above the wheel and is about the size of a dime. And that's it. Same with the underside. No rust or rot. At all. Clearly the car was never driven in the winter or not a NY car. original paint it's a beautiful metallic green. That really stands out and looks fantastic it's paint code G8 the car has a very nice white factory pinstripe. Down each side to match the white by all top the car also has factory hood pins I did remove the in car hood release and factory safety latch but I do still have both of these parts.I also painted the Valley pan And distributer cap the same G8 green as the body. And trimmed the edlbrock intake plus mopar performance polished aluminum valve covers in green see pics. looks very very sharp.the Interior is beautiful other that 3 small issues that Are stated further down. The trunk, floors, Hood doors, windows are all in fantastic condition.Everything works as it should in the electrical department with the exception of the wiper motor but all the lights flashers signals. Horn. And instrumentation works the Speedo is not hooked up because of having the incorrect nylon gear in the trans but the speedo does work, the car has the base model dash with the long rectangular speedo it's also a buckets and console car. She goes down the road straight. Front end is very tight no wandering at all due to frequent greasing front power disks read drums the factory power steering was removed to free up some space. But even with the big block it steers easy White vinyl top is in fair shape and could be replaced or could not. The headliner. Could be replaced. It's some what discolored. And has a mouse hole but the hole is hidden by the sun visor the dash pad over all is in great shape but it does have 2 small Cracks. This could likely be repaired. And not replaced And 3 small. Holes in the back seat I also believe these could be repaired with out replacing the cover each smaller than a quarter the engine is a 72 440 block. Bored 30 over. 4.10 stroke crank. From 440 source. H beam rods Stock length (.990 pin) JE flat top pistons and rings with butterfly valve cuts. 509 mopar purple shaft cam full roller timing set 915 heads. With light gasket porting. Auto meter tack and oil pressure gauges. 800 CFM edlbrock carb with no choke billet steel mains with a stud girdle plate. Kit from 440 source ( makes the bottom end stronger reduces flexing under high rpm an heavy loads ties the mains. To the block ) And all engine fashioners are ARP ( main studs , rod end bolts, head bolts, ) 8qt low profile deep sump gold milodon oil pan and correct pickup. And a high flow oil pump. Also a high flow aluminum water pump and edlbrock mechanical. Fuel pump good for up to 600 HP. Under the hood is very very clean looking all the electric wiring is nicely loomed. the fuel lines and vacuum line is done up in a polished simulated steel braid with a nice looking polished fuel filter as well as many polished bolts polished water neck polished throttle return spring and bracket. Ceramic coated headers pypes 2 1/2 inch x pipe exhaust With race pro mufflers. Factory 11 inch torque converter Custom worked by CTI in Nedrow NY the stall is aprox 2500 ( matched to cam) and the internals are all heavy duty .The trans is a reworked 727 full manual valve body. (No kickdown linkage ) brand new pressure plates. Filter bands adjusted. Completely gone thru and rebuilt by a professional tranny shop. The rear end is an 8 1/4. With 391 gears and a mopar sure grip I think It would be a good idea to put a 8 3/4 in or a Dana but not required. And if the buyer would like I have a 8 3/4 out I a truck that I will include. 3.23 open diff ( same as B body other than you would need to move the spring perches and no pinion snubber ) And their is somthing in the engine I can't put my finger on it the car runs ok Just has an odd sound to it. That I haven't been able to fully understand. So I will give you the absolute worst case. but it could be a much simpler problem. I believe it needs Bearings in the lower end but I'm not positive. As the Oil pressure is great at 50-70 psi I always ran brad penn penn grade the engine was never driven hard or driven much at all to be hones. Just to the Syracuse nationals last year a little around the show and back home. So maybe a total of 50 miles but keeping with I give you worst case info but it may not be that bad I will say the engine should be pulled disassembled and rebuilt. Maybe a more skilled and experienced mechanic. Could provide a better understanding of what the issue is and how to properly fix the problem but I will in NO WAY MISLEAD ANY POTENTIAL BUYER. AS TO WHAT EXACTLY THEY ARE LOOKING AT WITH THIS CAR good or bad. You will know everything I know even if it may hurt me as a seller. At the end of the day my word is far more valuable. As stated all the components of the engine are brand new. Like less than 100 miles brand new. They are also top on the line parts Something like 4200 was spent just in engine parts alone and that doesn't include machining costs ( line honed, bored .30 over , and deck truing) Also included is a second cam shaft and lifter set from comp around 570 lift I have the grind sheet just not right in front of my as I'm typing this posting to know the exact specs I also installed 600 lift double spring valve springs the car has an electric puller fan. Original mopar big block radiator and a custom double cooler tranny cooling set up that is very nice My asking price and willingness to negotiate price. Is reflective of the engine issues. I know people. Are generally unwilling to pay top dolor. For something that needs work. But I also know that this car with a nicely running big block would bring 15k or more so I'm not going to just give it away either. For me I just lost interest In cars I don't have the time to tinker like I used to and always spread my self thin plus I never have the time the car deserves so it's time for her to go and give some one else the chance to enjoy this wonderful carIt really is a great deal for any mopar or muscle car lover if you have any questions,would like more more pictures or a specific picture feel free to ask but I would encourage any potential buyer to just come look if you're able to Pictures do not do the car justice Ps the title is clean. I own the car no Leans On Apr-19-14 at 09:39:06 PDT, seller added the following information: I added more pictures showing the rear side windows my car has the full size roll down windows not the little ones or the louvers I think the best looking of the 3 the vinyl top goes all the way down to the deck lid I also lowered my reserve price to 5k |

Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
Will Dodge limit 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat to 1,200 units?
Sun, 20 Jul 2014With over 700 horsepower on tap and a price tag barely over $60k, Dodge appears on paper to have a winner on its hands with the new Challenger SRT Hellcat. But if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to act quicker than this most powerful of muscle cars covers the quarter-mile.
That's because, according to our compatriots over at Edmunds, Dodge may limit production - in the first year, at least - to just 1,200 units. That would amount to barely a quarter of the Challengers that Dodge moves each month, and would also mean only one Hellcat for every two Dodge dealers in the US - which could lead to some serious contention over which stores and which customers can get their hands on the ultimate Challenger.
Reached for comment, SRT spokesman Dan Reid told Autoblog that "there is no plan to limit production of the Challenger Hellcat," echoing the words of Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis who told Edmunds: "We don't know what the market demand is." Which doesn't mean that it won't restrict production, but doesn't mean that it will, either. It just hasn't decided yet - or announced any such decision, at any rate - over what will be the final allocation strategy for what could be a game-changing muscle car. That is, at least, until new versions of the Mustang and Camaro come along in pursuit of Dodge's bragging rights...
Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact
Fri, 08 Feb 2013For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
