1968 Charger 383 automatic, power window car, A/C,

I have this car in bare metal so you'll know exactly what you're buying beforehand.  Rust and major damage has been repaired, and is ready for filler, primer and paint.  Please contact me prior to delivery about epoxy priming the vehicle if you feel it is necessary.  There is low mileage on the rebuilds of both the transmission and the engine.  Runs, but the old dual point Mallory distributor needs points, and a tune up.   The engine sounds very strong, and I can tell it has a mild cam in it. 

What I've tried to accomplish here, is to do all the work that the average car enthusiast doesn't know how to do - ie: sheet metal work, and let you take it from there.  If you want me to take the car even further, I am certainly capable of any level of restoration that you desire.  I can provide examples of past vehicles for your review.

The right side quarter panel was replaced, by me, in a sympathetic manner. I don’t butcher sheet metal work! Every effort was taken to minimize distortion, maximize OEM appearance, and quality.  I also replaced the panel below the rear bumper, and each corner piece.  The left side quarter panel only needed small rust patches.  The floor and subframe are in perfect condition, except for one patch I made in the driver’s side foot well.  Prior to my ownership, the trunk floor had been replaced.  The quality of the installation of the trunk floor is not as good as the metal work I did, but it is good enough for a driver.  If you want me to replace the trunk floor in an OEM fashion the way the rest of the sheet metal is done, contact me for pricing.   I don’t mind doing it before the car is delivered. 

Fender tag and build sheet are not with the car.  I have spoken with a previous owner, and he put them in a “safe place” and can’t remember where they are.  It is an original 383 VIN, and was quite obviously an A/C and power window car. I do have the history of 3 previous owners of the car if it is important to you.

The car is mostly complete.  A few boxes of parts, one extra door, and one extra deck lid come with the car.  However, essentially, what you see is what you get.  I have no keys for it, so you'll need a locksmith to make a set for it. Car comes with clear Utah title.

Junkyard 1983 Dodge Rampage has Franco-American roots

Mon, Jun 20 2016

Lee Iacocca and the K-Cars get most of the credit for saving Chrysler after the company's 1979 bailout by the US government, but the success of the Simca-derived Omnirizon platform was a large, if overlooked, component of Chrysler's early-1980s resurgence. The Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon were sold in the United States for the 1978 through 1990 model years, and variants included the 1983-1987 Dodge Charger and the Rampage, this well-worn example of which I spotted in a Denver self-service wrecking yard last week. The early Omnirizons came with a Volkswagen-sourced 1.7-liter engine, but all of the Rampage pickups (and their near-identical Plymouth Scamp siblings) came from the factory with a 2.2-liter K-Car engine making 96 horses. This truck has a 4-speed manual transmission, which would have made it reasonably quick by Malaise Era standards. This one had plenty of body filler and rust, even before the crash that sent it on that final tow-truck ride to this place, so it wouldn't have been worth restoring. Still, we can hope that some of its parts will live on in other L-body trucks.

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
