This heavily optioned, mostly stock, Hemi-powered 1970 Challenger is featured in Hot Rod. The engine was beefed up internally to add durability but most everything else is pretty much how it was from day one. I’m kinda liking the Dark Burnt Orange Metallic paint. Read the story of this E-body at Hot Rod. More pics after the jump!
Barn Finds has discovered a not-too-rough survivor Hemi Challenger on eBay. With only 50,852 miles on the clock and reportedly stored for the last 25 years (the cars first 18 years were spent in California), this could be one rare find. Follow the eBay auction as the bidding enters six figures without hitting the reserve. More pics after the jump as well as a decoded list of the cars two fender tags!
Dave Rockwell, a member of the Ramchargers and author of the 2007 book We Were the Ramchargers, spoke at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan last weekend. Find more info on the groups achievements at Hemmings. More pics after the jump!
One of my Bucket List cars, the 1970 Hurst Edition Chrysler 300, in all it’s white and gold glory. Hooniverse recently located this ridiculously overpriced one on Craigslist, reigniting their “Is it an Obscure Muscle Car?” question. More pics after the jump.
It’s also the elephant motor’s 50th anniversary year to boot! Find some great Hemi stories at Engine Labs. Remember to wear orange.
When your father hosts a Youtube show called Hot Rod Hunt, you know good things will follow. Rick Moore purchased a barn find 1970 Charger R/T and gave it to his 13 year old son, Ricky, who’s favorite car is the 68-70 Charger. As it was a drag car, the 440 and 727 have very few miles and the car has only limited modifications. Ward Cleaver could learn a few things from this guy! Find the story at Street Legal TV. Video after the jump!
Don’t get too excited. There are no A12s, AARs or winged cars but there is an R/T–an Aspen R/T. The man obviously loved F-bodies. Find more info at Barn Finds of this unique Mopar collection that has hit Craigslist. More pics after the jump.
Did you want to go to the Lambrecht collection auction but live in the Northwest? Did you want to go but are only a Mopar fan? Well, here is your chance. The Charles Kee collection is going up for auction on May 8th and 9th in Brothers, Oregon. Where is Brothers, you ask? It’s in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Oregon, about an hour east of Bend, Oregon. It was a five hour drive for us from Olympia, Washington. Charles Kee was collecting cars to try to start a museum but unfortunately passed away before seeing his dreams come true.
This is an amazing collection of cars and parts but unfortunately a few years ago some Europeans came in and bought a bunch of the better cars from the collection. Most of what are left are C-bodies and 4-door Chryslers with a few scattered B- and A-bodies. Still some good projects in the bunch, however.
We got the opportunity to see the collection and have the scoop on the cars and parts that are going up for auction. Here are some general pictures and we are going to have more details on a few of the best cars. The auction is being run by James G. Murphy–here is a link to the preliminary catalog. Anyone want more info on any cars in particular?
Patience can pay off. The new owner of this Challenger T/A waited 14 years for the car’s second owner (who bought it in 1973) to finally sell it. As they only made 2,400 of these cars, that’s one heck of a find. Find the story at Car in Barns. More pics after the jump!
