Up for auction is my 1968 Dodge Charger that has a 440 and a 4 speed transmission. This was set to be my project but, I just have not had the time, nor the  extra cash to get her going. The car is title in my name and I have a Clean title for the car. This is a running and driving project car. The engine starts right up and idles very smoothly. There are no knocks in the motor, and she does not smoke! The carb is a old Carter carb that has seen better day, but she seems to work fine. The trans is a A833 4 speed that shifts great, and downshifts great also. The car has been on trips around the neighborhood and to the gas station but, that is it... so I would suggest that if you buy the car I would trailer it home as I have not had the car out any long trips. The car prior to me purchasing it, had sat since 1995. I put a new tank/ sending unit in, flushed the lines, new fuel pump and she fired up right away and ran fine! The car is in very good condition for a project, nice body lines and minimal rust. The floors look great, rockers look great, but the lower rear quarters have some small rust bubbles. The trunk pan was replaced in the past also. The rust is very minor on the car, and the rear panel behind the back window looks just ok. The car is a running/ driving project car. These Chargers are getting very hard to find, and this one is a great start to a project, or just do a little and drive it like she sits. The car was originally Red, with a black interior.

The doors both open and close well, the windows roll up and down and the glass is all in good shape overall. The windshield is a few years old but, in great shape. The Speedo works, the Tac works, but the clock is frozen. Gas gauge works, volt gauge works, and the temp gauge works too. The headlight switch is not working correctly, but the brake lights/ blinkers all work, and the horn works too. The dash pad has some cracks, but the lower dash pads are in decent shape. The headliner is in great shape, and the door panels are in ok shape but, they are showing normal wear and tear. The car will come with some different tires/ wheels than are pictured.

 The car is a nice driver/ project type car! The winning bidder is required to pay a $1000 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of winning the car! The car is being sold " As Is" due to it's age. The deposit must be paid through Paypal. The remaining balance is due within 3 days of the auction closing, and the final payment may be made with a Cashiers check, wire transfer or cash in person. The car must be picked up within 2 weeks of the auction closing, and my zip code is 89131 for shipping purposes. Please email me with any questions, and good luck!! choice!!


On Nov-08-13 at 16:46:54 PST, seller added the following information:

In response to a few questions I have received about the car... The car was originally a 318 with a manual trans. The 440 and 4 speed that are now in the car were out of a 71 "B" body car. The motor runs very well but, I do not know the true mileage or when it was rebuilt last. I do not have the data tag for the car as it was missing when I bought the car. I do not have a build sheet for the car either, sorry. As far as the body goes, it is very straight and you will be hard pressed to find dents or dings in the car.... I have not had many cars as straight as this Charger is! Good Luck, and if you have any questions that you need to speak to me about please feel free to call me at 702-321-2457. I will not discuss what I want for the car but, you are welcome to make a fair offer and we can discuss that. Shawn

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Fiat Chrysler wins top Total Quality Award for first time

Mon, Jul 20 2015

The Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards are 20 years old in 2015, and Chrysler has never topped the awards before. Until now, that is. Fiat Chrysler takes the overall award on the corporate level with six segment leaders from Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The Fiat 500 won Small Multi-Function Car, the 500e won Small Alternative Powertrain, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top in the Specialty Coupe category alongside the very un-coupe Mini Cooper Countryman, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited took the Entry SUV category, the Dodge Durango won in Mid-Size SUV, and Ram took the overall in Best Non-Luxury Brand. The accolade means FCA has gone from one segment winner in 2010 to overall victory in five years. Cars have gotten so good, says Strategic Vision, that it is harder than ever to win. In fact, says the group, 18 years ago 85 percent of all vehicle brands had more than half a problem per vehicle. This year, no brand has more than half a problem per vehicle. The organization measures "over 155 specific aspects of the customer's experience," and scores are based on input from more than 46,000 customers. Other notables in and near the winner's circle include Volkswagen and General Motors, who tied for second place on the corporate scale, one point behind FCA. The Mini Cooper Roadster scored the highest of any model, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and Coupe scored the second- and third-highest. The Chevrolet Colorado is the first domestic Standard Pickup winner in more than ten years, and the Nissan Titan carried the Full-Size Pickup category. The press release below has all the details on how winners and losers are selected, and the full list of automakers and how they finished. "The Customer's 'Total' Experience Defines Quality, Fiat Chrysler Scores Highest in Total Quality," says Strategic Vision The 2015 Total Quality Awards® SAN DIEGO, Friday, July 17, 2015 — Unknown to many, when some consumer research firms rank a car company's quality performance they often do so by simply "counting problems." In the past, this may have been acceptable, but in today's modern and efficient manufacturing world the difference between the worst brand and best brand is LESS than half-a-problem per vehicle. Thus, any "quality ranking" based on this method is severely lacking in the complete picture of the "Total" Quality experience that customers actually use to judge their product ownership.

NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged

Fri, 23 May 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.
