1968 Dodge Charger on 2040-cars
Haskell, New Jersey, United States
|
I have up for bid a 1968 Dodge Charger, that I am selling for a friend of mine. He has owned the car since 1982. He drove the car for some time and then parked it. This a project car needing total resto. Original 318, column auto, bucket seats. My friend coverted to floor shift auto with console and steering column. Beauiful color combo in LL1 seafoam turquoise, white vinyl top and black interior. Interior all original with the right seats and woodgrain steering wheel. Ok, the bad news on this charger in the way of rust repair is it needs rear quarter panels and floor pans. The pics shows these areas. Trunk pan is not all that bad, saveable. Doors solid with very little rust starting on bottom pinch weld. deck lid nice, with little rust just starting on pinch weld. A good body man can repair these areas with no problem. Front fenders solid with some damage on the left side fender from moving it in and out of storage, but no rust on these fenders. Bottom rockers all solid, along with wheelhouses. All frame rails solid. Car has real nice hood, all original glass still in car, with tinted tinted front windshield. Decent grille with only 1 little bar piece broke out on right side. Excellent grille to restore. In the engine compartment, my friend removed the driver side inner fender because of rust. The right side is good, but he has 2 nice solid inner fenders, right and left that go with the car. Power drum brake car, 8 3/4 open rear. Charger comes with a 383 mag. motor that I took out of a wrecked 70 Challenger years ago. This motor ran strong when I pulled it. Has Torker manifold and Holley carb. The numbers stamped on the pan rail of the block says it is a E-Body motor. It's been sitting for a while, so you might have to go though it. Good motor to use for this charger. Also, there is a 727 torqflite trans that go with car. My friend had this trans rebuild years ago, but has been sitting also. Overall a decent car to restore for someone who wants a resto project and would be one beautiful Dodge Charger with the color that it is. And the best part, you can restore it any way u want with any size motor and not hurt it's value since it is just a base 318 charger. If anyone interested needs more info, u can call my friend Don at 973-209-4483 or me, Ron at 973-296-2727. If anybody wants to look at it, it's at my friend's business location in Andover, NJ which is in Sussex county, north jersey. you can speak to him about seeing it. Buyer responsible for pickup of car. There will be a $500 deposit by the winning bidder paid by Paypal, and the balance paid by cash in hand or by paypal. There is a clear NJ title for the car.

Hellcat no help to Fiat-Chrysler's bottom-of-the-pile mpg average
Wed, Oct 15 2014What, you expected the "fastest muscle car ever" to help fleetwide fuel economy? Nope, don't think that's going to happen. That means Fiat Chrysler will likely to continue to languish at the bottom of the heap when it comes to fleetwide fuel economy among the largest automakers serving the US, especially as the automaker starts to sell its Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A few hundred Fiat 500E electric vehicles aren't going to turn the trend around. See, Chrysler has once again finished at the bottom of the list when it came to fleetwide fuel economy among automakers for 2014 model-year vehicles, according to a preliminary study by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Chrysler and Fiat had an average of 21.1 miles per gallon. That substantially lagged the overall 24.2 mpg average, but it was an increase from the company's 20.9 mpg average last year and the 20.1 mpg average two years prior. For 2014, General Motors had the second-worst fleetwide fuel economy at an even 22 mpg. Fiat Chrysler does say it's working on improving its fuel economy, according to Automotive News. The company plans on making its inline-four-cylinder and V6 engines smaller, and will sell more vehicles with eight- and nine-speed transmissions. Heck, there's even a plug-in hybrid version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan in the works for late 2015, and the company can tout fuel-efficiency gains with the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Cherokee. We would be remiss if we didn't note that, compared to its muscle-car forefathers, the Hellcat actually performs pretty well at the pump. Last month, word got out that the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, equipped either with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission, got a combined fuel economy of 16 mpg. Heck, the automatic-tranny version got 22 mpg on the highway. And that's for a car with 707 horsepower and a 10-second quarter-mile time. Still, with the pedal floored, the car can burn a gallon and a half of fuel per minute. Ouch.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
