The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car has been driven 2 hours, each way, to the beach approx. 6 times this summer. It has scratches and the dash has two cracks, it has a transmission leak too. I bought it wrecked in the right front and put a fender on it and got it painted, I had the two front seats recovered and a 440 & 727 motor and transmission out of a motor home that had around 33k miles, I have driven the car approx. 5k miles this summer, all hwy. miles, as I live in a small country town and the nearest town is 12 miles. There are things that need to be done to complete the project, but I have been driving it just like it is for 5K miles. All the tires, shocks, gas tank, brakes, bearings & exhaust are new and the car has been fun to drive all summer. There is small leaks, scratches, dings, the headliner, etc.... that will need to be replaced if you are looking to finish restoring the car. This is a factory AC car, but I never got around to getting it working, it does have heat and a new heater core."

This is a solid car as you can see from the pictures. It is 40 years old, so if you are looking for a show car or restored car this is not the one. If you are looking for a car that you can check the fluids once a week and drive every day then this may be the car. This is a factory AC car but I never got it working. I did put a new heater core in it and the and the blower motor works to produce decent heat - I have the hoses unhook for the summer, but they can be hooked up in a few min's when it's time for heat. I have bought many parts to make sure the car is safe and looked good enough to drive for the past 6 months and I have enjoyed it very much. I owned a car identical to this in high school and always wanted another one. I painted it the same color and upgraded to a 440. I have bought a 73 Barracuda and a 440 with a blower and I am getting ready to start that project and have decided to sell this car and a Pro Street S10 w/nitrous, see my other listing. 

I have bought so many new parts that I just cant remember them all, but I figured I spent around $12k so far. I have a few things like the rubber gasket that goes around the inside of the trunk lid, an oil pressure gauge, etc.. that are laying around and never got put on the car. I did buy new original seat covers for the front seats, new exhaust tips, shocks, tires, gas tank, shocks, water pump, valve covers, headers, aluminum intake, cd player & speakers, halogen headlight bulbs, Big Block aluminum radiator, multiple front end parts, etc... before I began driving this year. I have been able to enjoy it all summer. It will need a new wiring harness, as I have bypassed some of the original wiring to make the wipers work and put a puch button in the hole on the dash from the wiper switch, the  headliner sags and I have sewn it myself in a few places, body work is not a show quality & new paint job is scratched up at door seam, front splash pan, here and there too; it also has a transmission leak and the pump appears to be weak in the transmission. You have to let the car warm up before you try to back up or it seems sluggish, goes forward just fine and they tell me its the pump? I do not know but you have been told; it also has a small oil leak somewhere? So DO NOT COME TO TRY AND NIT PICK THE CAR AFTER YOU HAVE WON IT. MAKE THE DEPOSIT IN 24 HOURS AND COME PICK UP THE CAR WITH CASH IN YOUR HAND ( DEAD PRESIDENTS ONLY ). 
You can buy this car just like it is and enjoy it right away as I have been doing for the past 6 month, but I do want to give full disclosure.
The lights, wipers, gas gauge, etc... work, the motor runs really good and the transmission shifts great; it sounds good, looks good and people are always giving thumbs up and talking to me at the gas station. The windows roll up and down, etc...

Please email me with any questions you may before you bid; and please read the entire listing to include the condition description. If you are a serious buyer and would like to talk just send an email with your phone number. I would rather you have all your questions answered now and be sure you are happy with your purchase. 

You see the car is no rust bucket, but be sure you understand the the car was hit in the front right and I put a fender on it. I straightened out the hood and repaired it the best I could to ride. This is a driver, not a show car, although it has potential. It leaks some fluids and could use some body work and a paint job. The pictures were taken 1 hour before the listing was created and I currently have the car tagged and insured in my name with a clear title, so don't be scared off by my forward approach to the things wrong, because theres a bunch of things right about this car too.

Dodge adds fire-breathing Durango SRT for 2018

Tue, Feb 7 2017

The playbook for Dodge right now is pretty simple. Wring as much power out of as many things as humanly possible. Now comes the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT. Packing 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, this seven-seat school bus will scoot to 60 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds. Since the latest Durango launched for 2014, Dodge has unabashedly called it a three-row Charger. This beefy SUV makes that aggressive claim even more legit. "It does all the things we want a performance car to do," says Mark Trostle, head of performance, passenger, and utility vehicle exterior design. "It really is our three-row Charger." The 6.4-liter (392 cubic inches) Hemi V8 is considerably stronger than the already-potent 5.7-liter Hemi V8, which is rated at 360 hp and 390 lb-ft in the most powerful Durango available now. The SRT powertrain includes the TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic transmission used in the lesser Durango models (and many other FCA US vehicles), though it's calibrated specifically to the sportier demeanor of the SRT model. A similarly retuned full-time all-wheel-drive system rounds out the powertrain. Despite the fact this is a hot-rod SUV, it can still tow 8,600 pounds with a trailer, 1,200 pounds more than the most capable 2017 Durango (the rear-wheel 5.7-liter variant). View 9 Photos The Durango SRT is an obvious move for Dodge. The Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is built on the same platform in the same factory in Detroit, already has an SRT model. With rumors of a Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee swirling and another Demonic Challenger on the way, the Durango was overdue for an engine upgrade. "When we launched the Durango in 2014, this is the one we really wanted," says Tim Kuniskis, head of FCA US' passenger car brands. There's no doubt this is an enthusiast-oriented SUV. Dodge even went to the trouble of certifying the Durango SRT's 12.9-second quarter-mile time with the NHRA and tested it a Virginia International Raceway. Buy a Durango SRT, and you get a full day at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. When's the last time anyone did all of that with a three-row ute? It certainly looks the part. The hood bulges with new air-ducts to help keep the big Hemi chilled appropriately. There's a new front fascia with more air vents and LED fog lamps. Plus, the grille takes on a menacing new glare with a mesh pattern, and the body gets wider wheel flares. Click through the gallery, it really does look like a Charger from some angles.

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

The Dodge Demon is leaked in Fast 8 video with Vin Diesel

Thu, Jan 19 2017

It's only week two of the twelve-part Dodge Demon teaser roll out, and it already appears the metaphorical Hellcat is out of the bag. A YouTube video featuring Vin Diesel discussing The Fate of the Furious ( Fast 8) has what are almost certainly two Dodge Challenger Demons parked right in the background. So much for three months worth of build up and mystique. The two cars in the video appear to have the new logo affixed to the fender, right where the current Hellcat logo resides. In addition, the wheels and the massive hood scoop both appear to be the same relative shape as the ones briefly flashed in the latest teaser video. While we can't be 100 percent certain this is really a Demon, all the evidence points to yes. Even if this spoiled Dodge's plans, actually seeing the car here makes us even more excited for the full reveal. We still don't know all the final specs, save that it'll be 200 lbs lighter, so there is still some mystery to be had. The Challenger and Charger Hellcat twins, some of the most brazen and brutish machines currently on the road, were already cranked up to 11. The Demon, with its wide fender flares and comically large hood scoop looks makes the standard car look tame by comparison. We can't wait.
