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.

Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ

Tue, Sep 30 2014

A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
