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 vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Dodge Vipers selling for $480k in China

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Want to get your hands on a new Dodge Viper? Be prepared to pay dearly. It starts at nearly $90k here in the US, but that's nothing compared to what you'd have to pay for one if you lived in, say, China. CarsNewsChina.com reports on one Viper available in Beijing for an eye-watering 298 million yuan – equivalent to about $480,000 at today's exchange rates and representing more than a 500-percent markup. Part of that premium comes down to the Chinese tax code that charges a reported 60 percent for anything with an engine displacing over four liters. And the Viper's, we needn't remind you, is more than twice that. It naturally costs some to import a car to China as well, but most of the rest is pure profit. The Beijing dealership reportedly gets the cars from dealers in California, has already sold three and plans to import several more. The dealer can also get you (or wealthy Chinese individuals) a Corvette Stingray for a comparatively cheap 1.73 million yuan (or $280k). Related Video:

Dodge launches 1 of 1 Viper configurator

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Get comfortable because you might be spending a good chunk of time in front of the computer on this. The configurator for the 2015 Dodge Viper GTC 1 of 1 is now online, and it's a ton of fun to play around with. Mechanically, the GTC is just like every current Viper with a 645-horsepower, 8.4-liter V10. But for the special editions Dodge lets buyers tinker with practically everything aesthetic thing. For the exterior alone, the choices include some 8,000 available body colors, two stripe styles in innumerable shades, two hood designs and various brake caliper hues. Plus, there are 16 upholstery colors inside, and options like red seat belts and carbon fiber trim. Dodge reckons there are over 25 million possible combinations, and the models are available to customers on a first-come-first serve basis for each model year. Although, two people wanting identical cars seems pretty unlikely. The configurator is a beauty too. It makes all of these myriad options extremely easy to pick from, and there are even four resolution settings to see your creation in the best possible way. Prices for the GTC start at $94,995 and deliveries are set to start in the second quarter of the year. Although, even if you have no intention of buying one, specifying these custom coupes is still highly entertaining.
