1968 Dodge Charger Base Hardtop 2-door on 2040-cars
Bixby, Oklahoma, United States
|
This 68 Charger was 90% restored 12 years ago. I purchased the car from an owner in Missouri.
BODY All body work was completed by a shop in Missouri. The body is very straight and the paint is in very nice shape especially for being 12 years old. It's been garage kept since the restoration. The paint has three coats of clear and it literally feels like glass and is super slick. There a a couple scratches on the hood. I plan to take it to a body shop to see if they can buff them out. There is a crack on the driver's side door by the trim. Rails are in good shape and the under body has been coated. To the best of my knowledge there are no rust concerns with this Charger. The glass appears to be all original and this is a power window car and I recently replaced all the wiring and switches as the old switches were no longer functional. ENGINE The engine is a 1972 400 Police Interceptor. I was unable to adjust the engine type in the Product details but it's a 400 and not a 383. I don't know why the original 383 4BL was replaced. The engine does appear to run a bit rich and dual Flowmaster mufflers are installed. I believe the wheels are original to the car. The front passenger wheel does have some rust showing on it now. It has the original drum brake system with a brake booster. I'm not super technical with the engine and transmission but will do my best to find the answers to any questions. I did purchase a 1968 383 engine to have rebuilt and put in this car along with a 727 torqueflite transmission with a 2500 stall converter. Neither have been installed at this point. They are for sale in addition to the car. ELECTRICAL All exterior lights are functional (vacuum hide-away headlight doors work), interior light works, blinkers work, dash light currently is not operational. Oil and temp gauges do not work. Installed new door locks. I do not have the original jack for the car. INTERIOR The seats are in very nice shape and were recently recovered. The upper door pads have cracks and need replacing as well as the arm rests. Carpet is in great shape and very clean. The radio that was installed has been removed as it was not working. I've been looking for an original radio to install but haven't found one at this time so that area is open. This is a very nice and solid car. It would make for a nice daily drive as it is or a great car to invest in with modern technology to turn into a beast. There are plenty of 68 Chargers out there but it will be hard to beat the condition of this one. I invite any serious buyer to come and look a the car in person so you know what you are buying. I've described the condition of the car honestly and to the best of my ability. Feel free to ask your questions and I will do my best to answer them. I can be reached by e-mail at 1968chargerguy@gmail.com and by phone at 918-706-9698. My name is Marcus. PAYMENT DETAILS I require $1,500.00 non-refundable initial deposit to my PayPal account. The remaining balance is to be paid in full by either a wire transfer or a money order. The car will not be released until payment has cleared by banking establishment. I am open to domestic and foreign buyers. Any shipping fees will need to be paid by the purchaser and I will accommodate those needs a necessary. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sales to a local buyer. |

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
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.
The first production 1992 Dodge Viper RT/10 is up for grabs
Tue, Jan 14 2020The 1992 Dodge Viper RT/10 was a game-changer both for parent company Chrysler and the U.S. auto industry at large. While it was significant for bringing its automaker out of its dull, post-1980s funk, it also lit a fire under the rest of Detroit. If it hadn't been for the Viper, the world may not have gotten the C5 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (and its many world-class successors) or the revived Ford GT. And the very first one is headed to auction. This Viper is particularly special for two reasons. Not only was it the first production RT/10 to roll off the line at Chrysler's Mack Avenue plant (the Viper wouldn't move to Conner Avenue Assembly until 1996), but it was immediately scooped up by industry icon and then-Chrysler executive Lee Iacocca, who famously ushered fellow great Bob Lutz on stage at the Viper concept's reveal and told him to "build the damn thing." Even if you've never heard of Iacocca, you're certainly familiar with the cars he's influenced, whether you know it or not. Whether it's the Chrysler K-Car platform (and the minivan segment it spawned) or the 1964 Ford Mustang, one of Iacocca's projects has undoubtedly touched your life in one way or another. Showing just over 6,200 miles, this Viper remained in Iacocca's possession from day one until his passing in 2019. Even without the Iacocca connection, this would be a special lot. VIN #001 is all-original, packing the 8.0-liter V10 engine that made the Viper famous. Dodge's bruiser was also known for being light on superfluous extras, such as anti-lock brakes, which the Viper didn't receive until 2001 — just before the second-generation model was discontinued. Bonhams projects this Viper will go for between $100,000 and $125,000. That's probably a bargain. Opportunities to own such a unique and significant piece of automotive history come around very rarely, and considering this is about the same amount FCA was charging for a brand-new Viper when it went out production in 2017, it's not an unreasonable price point. The Viper will cross the block on Jan. 16.
