Nineveh, Indiana, United States
|
You are bidding on a 2 owner 1970 Coronet R/T ( yep, a real one). Records I looked up show just a little over 2,100 made in 1970, a one year only body style. I have had this car since 1976 when I bought it from the original owner. Currently in the car is a big block 400 ( I have the matching 440 magnum motor for the car), mild comp cams camshaft (.545 hyd), 516 heads with 906 size valves, (I have the factory 906 heads) 8 3/4 with 4:10 gears and spool, 742 case( I have the factory 489 case posi w/3:55 gears). Has moser axles ( I have the factory axles with the adjusters), MSD 6AL ignition system ( I have the factory points distrib), aluminum radiator( I have the factory one), aluminum water pump housing( i have origanal) 727 tranny with full reverse valve body. The stock shifter has a different plate so that it works with the reverse pattern( have factory plate). Has 3,000 stall converter. Hooker headers with Flow Masters 3 inch exhaust ( I have 2 sets of the factory exhaust manifolds) edelbrock intake with 650 dbl pump holley ( I have the factory intake and carb), I think it's about a 12 gallon fuel cell in trunkl( I have the factory gas tank), duel batteries, holley blue pump. I have raced this car in sportsman class ( runs 13:30's to 13:50's depending on weather) past two years. Car is uncut, no roll bars or frame ties, wanted to keep it as close to factory as possible.All lights, wipers and horn works. I have the factory key set that came with the car. The entire front end, tie rods, ball joints, A arm bushings, ect are PST kit. After buying the car in '76, it was my daily driver. After getting married in '81, didn't drive it much, In the late 80's, I took the factory motor out, (it was still running fine), and disassembled it, to put a different motor in it to go racing, I didn't want to blow up the factory one. In early 90's, I pulled that motor and parked the car inside where it remained until the fall of 2012 when I got it back out and ready for racing again. I have the factory build sheet and the fender tag is still in place (see picture). Along with the car, if you win the bid, there are years of carburetors, tranny coolers, pulleys, kick down linkage, fans, aluminum fuel lines, 2 Pistol grip shifters ( one for B body and one for E body ) another fuel cell, aluminum bug catcher, stainless trim wheel rings different sizes, another 440 short block with steel crank, stock tranny valve body, several pairs of big block heads (452 and 516), intakes, a set of 2.14 intake valves, plus more, This will be a Package deal, no separate sales, I don't need all the parts if I sell the car and need the parts if I don't sell the car. There is a reasonable reserve on it and to give some who might really be interested an idea, last Sept, I was offered $17,000.00 for just the car because as the guy said, he has not seen an untouched car of this year with such a great frame, floor and trunk. It will need new rear quarters as the picture shows, unless you just want to fill them in. This car was originally light green and in late 70's, I had it changed to black ( was a light sanding and painted over original paint). There are places on the car where you can see the original color if you were wanting to paint it back to that color. It also is a factory vinyl top car but that was in bad shape so I took it off, sanded the roof and it is in black primer now. Selling because I have came to the wakening that I am most likely never going to strip this car down and do it back up ( no time, space or the money). I have 2 choices then (1) just keep it, race it till I wreck it or it does rust away (2) sell it to someone who will strip it down and restore it back to it's former factory glory. So, thought would try the second option first. The Mopar Nationals are coming up, so, if you wanted, you could buy this package deal, set yourself up a swap meet booth there to recover a considerable amount of the price and put it back into the car, just a thought. This is AS IS/ WHERE IS purchase, ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR GIVEN. NO OVER SEAS SALES. CASH ONLY UPON PICK UP. NO DOWN PAYMENTS THEN REST LATER ( bad experience with that) You must at least meet the reserve price to win the car, otherwise, no sale.( thought would add that because a friend had someone that was highest bidder but didn't meet reserve threaten to sue him because he was high bidder and thought that alone entitled him to the item, even though he did not reach the reserve) It is for sale locally also so the bidding maybe cut short. Any questions, murphyphil52@yahoo.com.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
