1968 Dodge Charger Base Hardtop 2-door 7.2l on 2040-cars

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.

Dodge Durango to stay classy with Ron Burgundy as spokesperson [w/video]
Sat, 05 Oct 2013The upcoming 2014 Dodge Durango has a lot of things going for it, including its 290-horsepower V6 and 360-hp Hemi V8 engine options, an eight-speed automatic and aggressive looks. And now it will have Ron Burgundy, the fictional television news anchor played by comedian Will Ferrell, as a spokesperson, Adweek reports. He follows in the footsteps of other non-fictional Chrysler brand spokespeople such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and the late Paul Harvey.
Though the star of 2004's Anchorman and the upcoming Anchorman 2 is wildly popular, we're not sure we see a Dodge spokesperson in Burgundy. (Please, no womanizing or scotchy, scotch, scotch before test test drives). But at this point there's no turning back: Chrysler's chief marketing officer Olivier Francois previewed three ad spots at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference in Phoenix on Friday, and says Chrysler has already filmed 68(!) Durango ads with the fictional newsman.
According to Adweek, one of the ads previewed had Burgundy highlighting the SUV's glovebox size, and in another he compared its horsepower to a white horse standing next to him. Will this help Dodge Durango sales improve? We can only wait and see. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in Comments, and check out the trailer for Anchorman 2 below.
What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.
