Vehicle Detail
1970 Dodge Charger R/T Clone with a dual 4 barrelsClear Texas Tittle The car is has an awesome sounding 440 with 2 four barrel carbs. This is a car we built several years ago and drove every day. It has been setting in my garage collecting dust for three years since I have been working overseas. Was going to keep it for my son, but now he wants to go to Law school so something has to give. This is a great opportunity to own a car that has not been rusted out or mis treated.This car was completely rebuilt in 2007. This is a great car. Most of the original sheet metal is there. Only the quarters and maybe the rear valance has been replaced. All original floor pans and trunk pan that have been under coated inside and out. It isn't perfect but the frame rails, floor pans and sheet metal all look good.All lights were working when it was parked, believe they still are. Head light doors open and close good. New rubber strip under the hood. New trunk weather strip, new door and body seal rubber replaced. Good windshield and glass with all new rubber. Some of the side glass has the usual scratches.The wheels are nice chrome, not aluminum, chrome with good tread on the tires.The drive train was completely gone through. Rebuilt 440 motor from a 70 dodge truck with new 10.5:1 pistons, bearings, purple shaft cam and Edelbrock dual 4 barrel carbs. Professionally rebuilt bored 30 over no expense spared.The transmission is a 727 rebuilt at a local shop with a good reputation. The rear end is a 489 with an eaton 3:55 posi. All new bearings brakes, etc.The exhaust is flow master 3" with 40's mufflers and competition headers.The suspension was completely rebuilt with energy suspension bushings. New ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm, stabilizer bushings, shocks and bearings. The steering was getting a little sloppy so we bought a new power steering gear box that is still setting in the trunk ready to install.The brakes are front disc from a 74 charger with good pads and rebuilt calipers, and new hoses.The rear brakes came from a 70 station wagon with the wider shoes.New engine and transmission mounts. 4 core radiator recored in 2007. Power brake booster from a 70 R/T, chrome alternator, new power steering pump.The interior has some minor tears in the drivers seat. We bought two new seat covers from year one and they are still in the box in the front seat. The rear seat still looks good. The carpets, dash pad, door panels, package tray, seal plates, arm rests, window cranks head liner etc. were replace in 2007. It has a TIC-TOC-TACH, and fLoor shift console. When I got in it and started it the fuel gage didn't work correctly. It came up some but not all the way when I filled it up. Don't know why, the sending unit was new in 2007, all other gauges work. The clock does not. The stereo is awesome with a CD player and sub woofer in the trunk, and an electric antennae. All of the wiring was replaced with year one wiring harnesses.The paint was awesome but now has a few minor blemishes as would be expected now that its 6 years old. It really cleans up nice and shines great, but has a couple of minor chips, and a small place on the hood where the clear is peeled. They are small and not visible if your moving, but if you want to take it to the show you will need to have them spiffed up. The chrome on the bumpers is deep and shiny. The stainless is good with a few minor digs that can be straightened.A lot of money was spent on this car. (20,000 in parts alone) It was so much fun to drive but has been off the road since 2010 as you can see in the photos of the tag and sticker. I had to use a shot of ether to make it start after setting for months since it was last started. The carbs were sticky and it took a while for it to warm up. The brakes were a little squishy, may need bled or may just need driven. It wouldn't take much at all to have it road worthy. Keep in mind we drove the car into the garage and it has been started several times since, I did drive it to the gas station a few miles down the road to fill it up, but the tags went out in 2010 so it needs to be checked out and properly prepared before you take off down the highway. Not a lot of these left around so don't let this one get away. This car is not perfect and I know i missed a few things, so please look at the pictures and ask before you bid. Also this is a 43 year old car, so. There is NO warranty and it is sold as is and will need shipped or trailered since the tags and sticker are out and it has been setting. Contact me if you have NO or BAD feed back and I will allow bids from you. I have heard all the scams don't waste our time. I will just report you and move on.This is not an option to buy it is a binding contract. There will be a $1000 Paypal deposit that is NON-REFUNDABLE due within 24 hrs from the time the auction ends. The remaining balance must be paid for in person with cash, or a certified check from your bank will need to clear my bank before the car will be released. If I am not contacted within 24 hours or the deposit is not made on time I will re-list the car. I will keep the car for 30 days from the end of auction or work with a shipper for a pick up date. If you need more storage time contact me in person and we can work out the details, however all payments must be made in the 30 day period. The car is for sale locally and could end early. If I am here I will help load it and do my best to assist with loading it for shippers, BUT, ALL shipping is the buyers responsibility. I am not always here but it can be picked up at anytime if you call ahead a bit. I will have someone available to release the car and take your money.This is a nice car and I have a reasonable reserve. I drove this car for many years. Call me with questions or ask before you bid. Come see it if you are near enough. After the auction is too late to ask and I will not refund deposits because you forgot to ask your wife if you could have it. or its not what you wanted after all. I would like to maintain my good feedback so talk to me so this deal is good for everyone involved.Non-payers will be reported and will receive bad feedback as it costs me money when it sells. My number is 1-806-664-9778, Good Luck and Thank You for bidding. Corky.
