 You are bidding on a 1966 Dodge Charger. This car started its life as a 318 poly engine with a 3 spd manual. It was originally ordered by a man in Colorado where it spent maybe 10 years. The car then came to California where it has been ever since. This has been in my family as the second owners since then. 4-5 years ago the car went through a complete restoration/upgrades etc. I will attempt to list all that was done below. This car is an awesome ride that can be driven anywhere without worries. It now has plenty of power, handles great and rides smooth!! Again I would not hesitate to drive anywhere. This is a very well rebuilt car with no short cuts taken!!! I have all receipts for everything that was done on the car.

-Paint and body done in correct GG1 paint code.
- Paint is in excellent condition, but is not perfect. The most obvious, is a nickel size “bubble” on the passenger side sail panel area. Probably a small particle when it was sprayed.
-Rocker panels,wheel trim and ridge trims removed.

All items on this car were done right with the intention of having a fast car, looks stock except for a few items, can drive anywhere, and of course is a blast to drive.

The car has won multiple awards since completion and always gets plenty of interest.
This Charger needs nothing except someone to drive it and enjoy!!!

Any questions, please feel free to ask.

All shipping arrangements and costs responsibility of buyer. I will accommodate where I can to make it a smooth transaction. I have no idea what the costs are to ship the car.

Ram to go on a Rampage with new small pickup?

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

When people look back at today's automotive industry, what do you think they'll remember us for? The emergence of hybrids? Ever more expensive and exotic supercars? The dawn of the self-driving car? All likely scenarios, but so is the blurring of lines between one bodystyle and another, giving rise to hardtop convertible coupes and crossovers of every shape and size. But one bodystyle the North American auto industry has stayed largely away from in the past couple of decades is a car nose and chassis with a pickup bed.
It's a bodystyle immortalized by the Chevrolet El Camino, but with few exceptions, we haven't seen too many of these automotive platypuses in recent years on our turf. Subaru tried with the Baja and the low-volume Honda Ridgeline soldiers along largely unchanged, but the genre's biggest adherents are still Down Under, where ute versions of the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon live. With a few other examples scattered to the four corners of the earth, that's really about it. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it looks like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles could be working to bring it back.
Spied undergoing testing in Michigan, what we appear to be looking at is a heavily disguised Fiat Strada being prepared - like the Fiat Ducato-based Ram ProMaster and the smaller Doblo-based ProMaster City - for Stateside duty as a Ram product. The Strada, for those unfamiliar, is a product of Fiat Automóveis in Brazil and is based on the Palio economy car. The nameplate has been around South America since 1996 and was originally designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (long before Volkswagen monopolized his talents), and takes a more rugged approach in the form of the Strada Adventure.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.

Stormtrooper Dodge Charger Episode IV: A New Soap

Fri, Dec 18 2015

We spent a day with a Dodge Charger that looks like a Stormtrooper helmet and made a few videos. In this one, the Charger meets the car wash. May the force be with the dryer. Read about the car and watch the rest of the videos here.
