1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340
I've had some great muscle cars in 25 years: my first being a 66 GTO I brought back to life in the mid 90s. It had a 400 & 3 deuces, 4 sp & posi-traction, there was no question it was fast but when those 3 carbs opened you felt something was being brought to life under the hood! Another was a 71 Camaro RS/SS 396, 4 sp in bad ass black, it was fast as well but this perfectly balanced full built 340 heavy on the HP w/roller rockers, a tight 4 speed, sure grip rear & lightweight pony car body is without a doubt 2nd only to the GTO in speed but would quickly beat it in corners. It also stops much better with front disc brakes. Most classic cars need a little work all the time: this was built to be a daily driver & its reliable: starts when you need it & quickly, shifts properly with a solid 4 speed, stops with all new components, doesn't overheat or bog down in traffic, all gauges work including the gas & RPM! Its a super fun car built with the driver in mind. Its very powerful so timid drivers should stay away. Its comfortable with tight bucket seats, a working AM/FM radio & a LOUD speaker to be heard over the dual exhaust ;). She glides over bumps on proper 14" white letter tires & a tight suspension front & back. This is the ultimate pony muscle car: looks, performance & reasonably priced. You can purchase knowing if cared for it will retain its value & more than likely make a profit in the future! You can leave it as is & drive to your hearts content or tweak & improve on the weekend since it small enough to fit in any garage. I've done many things to improve her & enjoyed every minute but its time to find one that needs me more. Any lines on a 1970 Charger RT out there? Any condition or combo as long as it didn't come w/air. This is the real thing: a true muscle car with THE original motor to go along with a solid frame & body tempered with a very reasonable build quality: not overdone like a show car that shouldn't touch the road but proud of ownership quality: a car built to be used, appreciated & occasionally abused without consequence!Its hard to believe how perfectly this car was ordered back in Sept. '71. Check out the options this comes with including the extra horse 275HP engine & 4 speed trans: everything you need to be comfortable & everything needed to make it one beautiful ride. The only thing NOT still on this list is the AC but all the main parts are included (as shown in pic) & will be carefully packed in the trunk if you feel power isn't as important as being cool. All 4 windows work really well so you have that ;). I was told there is something special about the rear glass: smaller than normal for a formal look? The black vinyl top was done right: started with a clean, painted surface & has ZERO rust bubbles underneath. I have many more photos of the car including under it: simply ask for more. This car was originally from NC & has nothing to hide. One thing I really like is it rarely leaves but a few drops of oil or any fluid when parked for weeks & it starts up even after a month or more of winter storage... instantly.
