1968 Dodge Charger hard top with 1968 440 4bl engine and 727 transmission.  Car was originally fit with a 383 engine.  This is a super nice project restoration for someone to do. The correct color of this car is green, someone at on time repainted it.  I'm not sure if the interior is from a 69 or 68 Charger or not. I have owned this car since 2007 and have decided to let it go to someone who is good with Mopars or has that damn bug of restoring true classics to keep them on the road.  If you look closely at the pictures you can see that the interior is all there from dashboard to rear seats just waiting for proper attention. The dash is in good shape with the exception that there is a small crack in the middle of it, nothing major or distracting. This is not a basket case car like a number of them that you will come across.  The chrome trim is in wonderful shape as well as the door and rear window glass.  There is a small round rock chip in the windshield.  The passenger compartment floors are in not too bad of shape.  There are some rust holes in front of the front seat section and slight surface rust in the rear.  The roof is solid with just light surface rust.  The panel just below the window is solid and not rotted out . I ripped out the shag carpet(?) that was on the floor to see what was under there. I was pleasently surprised to find what I found, solid under the front seat and in the rear..  The rear is fine.  The rear trunk floor area will have to be replaced as you can see in the pictures.  On the passenger side rear roof where around where you would attach a complete quarter panel there is a slight indentation.  No worries due to you would be replacing the rear quarters with full ones anyway.  The outer rockers will need to be replaced.  The rear quarters will need replacing, the outer wheel wells will need replacing, the front fenders will need replacing, the doors are solid and seem to be from a 69 Charger due to the door lock position on them. I would prefer to have them that way to keep the thieves from unlocking and stealing the car, at least slow them down if they decide not to destroy the windows. The rear trunk lid can use a little media blasting to clean them up.  The front hood could also use media blasting.  This is an A/C car by the way. It looks to have been converted from a column shift to a floor shift.  The floor console has a crack to the rear of it and all of the windows roll up,down and are unbroken.  You are not going to be able to just get in and drive as I mentioned there is no engine in the car.  This is a super nice project car for someone. .....Did I forget to mention that there will be extra parts such as doors from a 68 Charger--these are shells, There are also another 2 pair of doors that have windows in them that are rust free.  There are a total of 6 doors that are original and mostly rust free. Two of the doors have a small dent, nothing major, the shells have a small amount of rust and bondo on them. I bought 2 front fenders that were from a 69 Charger that have some rust on them but nothing that concerns me, I could make them work fine as they are far better than what's on the car right now.  There are also a (couple) of replacement front grills that will be going with the car too. One is from a 68 Charger and the other is the frame with a partial grill with damage to the left plastic section from a 69 Charger.  These are not after market parts, all original Mopar products.  Very expensive and difficult to locate. There are seat covers that are tan in color that are new from Legendary Interiors that I was going to dye and install that are going with the car.  I also have a front bumper that is in good driver condition and a front used valance panel that goes with this car from a 69 Charger. I have a rear bumper with the frame attached from a 69 Charger that also goes....There's a nice floor shift console with the shifter connected to a floor section to be welded in a car that you may want to convert  that was cut out of the donor car that is in great shape too.  I have a left and right front fender splash shields that are also included.  There are 2 very nice tail lamps with the housing that are included.  There are at least 5 Charger script emblems and 2 badges that go along also.  Lots of car and lots of parts....If you bought this car with parts included for, lets just say 11,000.00 and put what would be about 5000.00 in parts into it, if done right you could have a car worth twice as much or more, and have a very nice investment or collectors bragging rights.  You do the math. You make the bid, bid to win, you're going to get a great deal.  I think I forgot to mention that this car has a posi rear end.  I don't know the make, but I sure as hell know it's there.  If you need more information, email and I will answer as soon as I can.  To be fair to bidders I do not give the reserve price, you'll have to bid the highest on what it's worth to you.  This car is for sale not for bidders to bid and then decide if you want it or not. I don't play that, I'm serious.  This is a binding contract and I will treat it that way.   Once you bought it, it is yours. If you can't afford to bid please don't.  If you have less than 10 feedbacks, or more than 2 neg. feedbacks and would like to bid contact me first or you may be cancelled out.  This car is also being sold locally and I have the right to end this auction early.   I try to be straight with you and I expect the same.  Thanks for looking and bid to win.  Good Day.

2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.

Dodge muscle cars, armored Jeep to star in Furious 7 [w/video]

Wed, Mar 11 2015

We're less than a month away from the smorgasbord of speed, stunts and shooting that is Furious 7, and it arrives in theaters on April 3 as one of the first big films of the year. Starring Fast and Furious regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, plus Jason Statham as the big villain, this entry looks to be another exciting addition to the franchise. With such a major movie that features cars as much as the actors, it shouldn't be a surprise that an automaker is getting in on the action as a promotional partner. FCA US supplied nearly 30 vehicles for the film, including prominent roles for a 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger R/T and armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. To really play up the connection, the automaker has laid out a global advertising campaign featuring its models. The marketing includes a variety of unique spots with the cars appearing online and in music videos. Among them in the US is a TV ad called Flash to the Future (embedded below) for the Challenger. Hopefully, Furious 7 can live up to all its pre-release hype. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Preserved truck found at the bottom of frozen lake

Tue, Jan 26 2016

A fisherman in central Minnesota pulled more than bluegill and bass out of his local fishing hole earlier this month. While ice fishing on Mayhew Lake, a local man was startled when, using an underwater camera to scout for fish, he discovered a vehicle sitting on the lakebed, the SCTimes reported. He immediately called the Benton County Sheriff's office, which sent deputies to examine the vehicle. Once they arrived, the deputies used their own camera to have a look and discovered a late-90s to early-00s model Dodge Ram pickup in roughly 12 feet of water. The Sheriff's department dive team was then dispatched to search the truck and the area surrounding it for bodies or valuables. The truck was lifted from the lakebed through a huge hole in the ice. The Sheriff's office ran the plates and discovered that it was reported stolen in March of 2000 from a nearby address. Investigators believe that given the truck's location, almost 100 yards from the lake's public access ramp and 25 yards from the north shore, that it was driven on to the lake while it was frozen, then allowed to sink to the bottom once the ice melted. Thanks to the lake's frigid waters, the truck was surprisingly well preserved. Aside from a missing grille, a coating of mud inside, and a patina of rust on the sheet metal, there was little damage to the truck despite its long rest in the lake. With an engine full of lake water and the damage done by roughly sixteen freeze-thaw cycles, the truck will never run again, but its condition is a good testament to the build quality of those old Rams. It certainly held up better than that '57 Plymouth Belvedere they buried in the time capsule under the Tulsa city courthouse.
