Reader’s Rides: Sebastian Kraft’s 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

Sebastian bought this very original looking California car in Hamburg, Germany, and it currently resides with him in Dresden. Can you imagine this burly American muscle on German roads? Must scare the crap out of AMGs and Porsches. It’s a numbers matching 4-speed 383 car. Sebastian added a Magnaflow X-pipe for a little extra growl. You may notice from the pics that he also owns a 1968 Dodge Charger…

1973 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on eBay

Here’s another weird Daytona conversion for you guys. Two weeks ago I showed you this 1974 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on Craigslist. Well here’s a ’73 that was listed on eBay last week. Looks like it was bid up to $4,000 with the reserve not met. I don’t know, I’m thinking the seller should have taken the money and run. Check out more pics after the jump, including pics of the interior with what looks like an A-body center console.

Reader’s Rides: Ryan Dean’s 1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible

It’s refreshing to see an E-body convertible with its original small block drivetrain. This purple 4-speed 318 car is all numbers matching, restored about 12 years ago. It’s one of just 78 convertibles made with this engine and tranny combo in 1970. Great pics from its current home in Boca Raton, Florida.

Reader’s Rides: William Robey’s 1969 Dodge Dart GTS

Check out William’s beautiful 4-speed Dart GTS out of Leesburg, Virginia. Here’s the word from William:

I have had the car for five years. The car was done when I  got it. I have had two other 1969s–one back in high school which was a 1969 Swinger with a 273 hi-pro in it. The  second we did a build with a 383 in it but builds are so time consuming so I was looking for one done to start driving and enjoying. Wish I had picture from last year car was setting on 50 yard line at Washington Redskin training camp. Sold a 1969 Chevy Nova and 1970 Chevelle 454 to get this one. Great move on my part car will never leave my hands. The car will sit and rust before kids even get it.

This was originally a 383 car but now has a 440 bored to 492. It has a hydraulic clutch and stainless steel exhaust. See more pics after the jump!
