Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

Up for bids is a 1968 Dodge Charger with 318 Engine and 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission + some extras. The car is not running but is all original and is restorable. The new owner will need to have it towed to its new home. Transport / shipping is not included as part of the auction and is the buyer's responsibility. A down-payment of 1,000.00 via paypal is due within 24 hours of auction close and full payment is due within 7 days of auction close. The car must be picked up/moved within 14 days of auction close. If you're local to Charlotte, NC and want to see the car just let me know. I am not interested in trades, etc. This is a no-reserve auction and I'm starting it at a reasonable price.

I am the 4th owner of this car, I bought it to restore about 7 years ago and have not made any progress due to other projects.Since I've owned the car, it has been in inside storage. Prior to that it sat outside for a while, I don't know how long. The odometer reads 44,918 miles, I believe there are 144,918 miles on the car.

There is rust in the floor pans and the trunk pan and lip as well as the engine compartment and lip and a little in the doors and fenders. There are a few dents and dings as you can see in the pictures but nothing too bad. I've tried to show the major rust areas in the pictures so you can see what the condition is.

The car is equipped with A/C and power steering. Everything else is manual including brakes, windows, locks, seats, etc. The engine will not start, the starter clicked when I attempted to start it two weeks ago. The engine did turn when I bought the car. Engine, brakes and transmission need to be rebuilt.

The car originally had a dark green vinyl top that was removed by the prior owner to prevent the roof from getting too rusty.

I have a spare left rear quarter that I'd like to include as part of this sale as well as a 727 transmission rebuild kit and shop manual, and a spare set of wheels and the original hubcaps that came with the car. These should be of help in the restoration process.

I also have the original owner's manual and Dodge certicard that was issued to the owner upon purchase along with various paperwork for repairs over the years.

If you have questions about the condition of the car or want more details that I've left out, please ask.

2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.

Dodge Charger and Challenger go Plum Crazy for Woodward Dream Cruise

Wed, Aug 12 2015

Dodge will be rolling through a purple haze at the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise on August 15 with the reintroduction of Plum Crazy to the color options on most trims of the 2016 Challenger and Charger. To premiere the latest use of the wild shade, the brand's display at the annual Detroit-area automotive event will be showing off violet versions of the 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack. The brash tone originally debuted in 1970, but Dodge has kept the lavender hue special in recent years by limiting the option to specific trims. It was last offered during the 2014 model year on R/T and SRT trims of the two vehicles. Practically any buyer will be able to go Plum Crazy if they want. On the Challenger, the color will be available on the SXT Plus, R/T models, Hemi Scat Pack Shaker, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat trims. The choices for the Charger will be similarly broad, including the SXT when ordered with 20-inch wheels, R/T versions, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat. Customers desperately wanting a vehicle in the insanely violet shade will be able to place the first orders in September, and dealers will get the chance from October through the end of the year. Production of the lavender muscle cars will then commence in November. Dodge Debuts Plum Crazy Heritage Hue for 2016 Challenger and Charger at Woodward Dream Cruise, Provides Collector-demanded Production Numbers for High-impact Paint Colors New 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack Models in Plum Crazy Will Be Shown at the Dodge Display at 13 Mile and Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, Mich.

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

Sat, 26 Jul 2014



Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
