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. |

Nearly 700,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs recalled
Thu, Nov 21 2019WASHINGTON — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said on Thursday it will recall nearly 700,000 sport utility vehicles worldwide because a faulty electrical connection could prevent engine starts or contribute to a stall. The recall, covering 2011 through 2013 model year Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs, will address silicon deposits on the contact points of fuel pump relays that may interrupt electrical current, Fiat Chrysler said in a statement. It said it is unaware of any injuries or accidents related to the faulty vehicles. The Italian-American automaker had previously recalled most of the same SUVs in 2014 and 2015 for issues with their fuel pump relays. The company, which last month announced it planned to merge with Peugeot owner PSA, said it would notify owners at a later date when they will be able to schedule repairs at dealerships. The recall includes around 528,500 vehicles in the United States, 34,700 in Canada, 18,100 in Mexico and 116,500 outside North America, it said.
Germany threatens to ban FCA vehicles over diesel emissions dispute
Tue, May 24 2016Germany is threatening to ban sales of FCA products over diesel emissions. According to the newspaper Bild Am Sonntag, Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority found evidence of a so-called defeat device that shuts down certain emissions controls after running for 22 minutes. A standard diesel emissions test in the European Union reportedly takes 20 minutes to complete. FCA denies the allegations. "We believe all our vehicles respect EU emissions standards and we believe Italian regulators are the competent authority to evaluate this," the company said in a statement. The latter part of that statement drew ire from German authorities, especially after FCA declined to meet with German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt to discuss the issue. Graziano Delrio, the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, vowed to work with German authorities on behalf of FCA. According to EU law, FCA is required to homologate its vehicles in Italy because that's where its regional operations are based. When will the diesel-scented soap opera end? We wish we knew, but our Magic 8 Ball is covered in soot.

2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
