Originally 318 car.  Now has rebuilt 440 and rebuilt 727TF transmission.  This is not a gunked up junkyard smog motor.  It came out of a 1967 Imperial with stock 10.10 to 1 compression and forged crank. This 440 has been completely rebuilt and rotating assembly balanced with .040 over forged pistons, reconditioned rods, Mopar Performance Purple Camshaft Kit, valves, guides, valve springs, hardened pushrods, adjustable rocker arms, high volume oil pump with new pickup, clevite bearings, roller timing chain, Mopar Performance oil pump drive shaft and distributor gear, Mallory Unilite ignition and wires, TCI SFI 29.1 approved flex plate, TCI Torque converter, Holley 4bbl carb (not new but rebuilt) and headers.  The car has never been driven with the new engine and trans but it gets started and run through the gears on jack stands every 30 days or so and the oil and filter are changed every 8 months.


The car has had the following sheet metal replaced: floors, trunk pan, front valance, rear valance and rear window to deck lid panel.  The original driver's door had a dent and body filler in it so it's been replaced by a good used one.  The original door is fixable and goes with the car.  The floors beneath the rear seats still need repaired as seen in the pics.  The firewall has a rust hole in it too.  Front drum brakes have been changed to disk with all new ball joints and bushings.  The original drum assemblies (spindles, control arms, etc) go with the car as well. The driver's side fender is rusted though at the bottom behind the front wheel, the passenger quarter panel is beat up pretty bad on the rear corner by taillight.  Looks like it was dented and someone tried to pull the dent out.  The windshield is cracked but the rest of the glass is good.  The quarter windows have some scuffs and scratches so I picked up another set at a swap meet years ago and they go too.  The passenger taillight lens is broken but I have an extra complete set of good taillight assemblies that go with the car.  Same goes for the dash, the original one (with the VIN tag) is severely cracked but there is another one in good shape that goes with the car.  See the pics of all the parts.

I think most of the parts are there (except gas tank) to put the car back together....and some extra parts too, including a new set of frame ties.  I tried to take pictures of everything but please ask questions if you want to know something. 

I have a video of the engine running.  If you'd like to see and hear it, copy and paste this into your browser:   http://youtu.be/51C9Jq6gfpw

I WILL NOT SELL INDIVIDUAL PARTS SO DON'T ASK.  EVERYTHING GOES TOGETHER OR NOT AT ALL. I've had this car for 15 years but there never is enough time or money to finish it so it's time to go.  There is no "buy it now" so please don't ask.  

Sold AS IS/WHERE IS.  It runs and moves on it's own power so can be driven onto a trailer.  If you bring a check for payment, don't expect to take the car home or get the title signed over until it clears the bank.  This goes for bank checks too.  Lots of fake "Cashier's" checks today.

2015 Dodge Charger configurator opens up shop

Thu, Dec 11 2014

Itching to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Charger? Your day is almost nigh, my friend While you're waiting, you can spec out how you'd want your muscle sedan to look as Dodge has included the revised four-door in its online configuration tool. Though it's not the most impressive or interactive of configurators we've seen, the site lets you choose any color you want (from the limited array available anyway) along with all the key options packages and such. First you'll need to choose a trim level though, but we're afraid the Hellcat version isn't part of this site, and the SRT site hasn't launched a configurator yet for the world's fastest production sedan, so you'll have to choose between SE, SXT and R/T trim levels.

Dodge Grand Caravan to live in fleets through 2017

Mon, Jun 22 2015

After a hard-working career of hauling around families for decades, the Dodge Grand Caravan name was set to retire in 2016 under FCA's five-year plan for the US. The decision would have put all of the automaker's focus behind the next-generation Chrysler Town & Country, but that original strategy might have changed. Now, Dodge's minivan may have to work just a few more years before it can finally shuffle off. There are set to be 2016 and 2017 model year examples of the current Grand Caravan, according to an internal FCA production document obtained by Automotive News. This report suggests no changes in the minivan between those two years, and there's no mention of the company's intentions deeper into the future. "While we've announced the Grand Caravan will eventually be the minivan that goes away, we're not going into more detail at this time," a Dodge spokesperson said to AN. For the next Town & Country, production would start in Windsor, Ontario, in late February 2016. This document also suggests a brief run of 2016 Chrysler minivans based on the current model from August 2015 until February 2016. Automotive News speculates that the reprieve for the Grand Caravan could allow that model to focus on fleets and the Canadian market while the new Town and Country gets up and running. The latest generation T&C will reportedly debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show and will possibly carry a higher price to befit a vehicle with a more modern platform and improved tech.
