1968 Dodge Charger 383 #'s Match 727 Auto 68 Solid Project 96k Original No Res!! on 2040-cars
|
Up for bids is my 1968 Dodge Charger. This car is pretty much original, never been cut up or molested. Still wears all it's original sheetmetal as far as i know. The car is triple green, and the engine is original to the car. 383 2 barrel, and is still in that configuration. The car had one respray in the 80's, and it's showing it's age. The car has sat mostly since the early 90's, and could made into a daily driver very easily, or could be a good resto project .While i did go on a 5 mile journey in it recently, and it actually drove really nice, the carb is a little tired and could stand a kit being put in it. The body is WAY better than most charger projects out there. It has a mint grill, mint hood, the fenders are very nice, no rust, one ding in front passenger as shown in pic. The doors are fantastic with no rust, as are the rockers. The quarters are 90% there, could get by with some patching. The driver's side back towards the bery back has some bondo fro a dent in it's past that was repaired. It's above the middle belt line, not down low. The tail panel and rear valance are in great shape, and these are normally nonexistant on a 46 year old charger. There is a small spot on one of the valance corners. The back window lower corner area that is prone to rust is pretty awesome on this car. The worst area on this car is the roof. There is quite a bit of pimpling under the original vinyl top, and if you are going to replace and put a new vinyl top, then the roof can be fixed and then a new top put on. If you are planning on a non vinyl top when redoing, it may warrant a skin. The trunk is good on the extensions, could use a center trunk pan. The floors are in great shape, as are frame rails front to back. There was one small rust spot by the gas pedal(driver's front) that was replaced with metal 20 years ago, otherwise floors are mint. Gas gauge and speedo work, oil and temp do not. Factory A/C car, not currently working. I do have the AM thumbwheel radio for the car. Interior is very presentable for a driver, could use carpet, upper dash pad and headliner. Fender tag is present as well as the build sheet. As you have read, this is an excellent hard to find solid unmolested project car that you can drive as you make better. These kinds of chargers are the hardest to find. People nowadays want $50k for a restored 383 charger, or they want 10k for rustbucket project cars. It's hard to find a good one that just needs some TLC. You will not find a better project car for the money. I am listing the car NO RESERVE so high bidder owns it. That being said, PLEASE SERIOUS bidders only. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time for any reason, as car is for sale locally. Please feel free to ask with any questions. I do have a clear Tennessee title in hand. Thanks for looking and good luck! |

Daily driving a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Tue, Feb 9 2016I took delivery of my 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat at Ron Carter Dodge in League City. Bobby Pate and the entire Ron Carter team made the buying experience painless. Thanks, guys! It was worth the nine-month wait to get a new Challenger Hellcat at sticker price. My Hellcat is Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl with a black interior. The car has the six-speed manual transmission and UConnect. Yes, I know the eight-speed automatic is faster, but the manual transmission provides a level of enjoyment that must be experienced to be appreciated. My original intention was to write daily about my experiences with the Hellcat, but I have been having too much fun with the car. The first 100 miles required incredible self-control to keep the car under 55 mph and engine speed under 3500 rpm. The difference in the driving experience after 500 miles was – and I am only exaggerating a little – life altering!The Red Key To paraphrase Morpheus in The Matrix, "You take the black key, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red key, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." The black key is in a place where it will stay until the red key is snatched from my cold, dead hand. The red key is the only key. The red key is "The Key." All 707 horsepower are available with the red key. You can lower the horsepower to only 500 using the SRT pages, I have heard, but why? I have driven the Hellcat in bumper-to-bumper Houston traffic in red-key mode. I have driven the Hellcat in the pouring rain in red-key mode. I have driven the Hellcat to the mall, to the grocery store, to the movies, and to Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland for a 100% Japanese Wagyu steak from the Kagoshima Prefecture. (It was a birthday present from my son. My money goes into the gas tank of my Hellcat.) Just for fun, I used the SRT Pages to put the car in valet mode. For those of you who do not know, valet mode limits the horsepower to: oh, hell! Who cares? The car felt like the parking brake had not been disengaged. I have heard rumors that the Tremec six-speed transmission has a 1-4 skip-shift feature. My Hellcat has never been subjected to this travesty.Questions, questions, and more questions Q: How much over sticker did you have to pay? A: Zero Q: What kind of gas mileage do you get? A: ROTFL Q: How did you ever talk your significant other into letting you buy the Hellcat? A: I didn't ask.
2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.
