1968 Dodge Charger Body
NO RESERVE!

Up for auction is a 1968 Dodge Charger that is nothing more than a shell.  Granted, there are a lot of missing parts, this car is still very restorable.  About 9 years ago, the whole body was dipped and phosphate coated at Metal Refinishers here in Jackson, MS.  Quarter skins were installed along with rear valance and other parts.  All parts were purchased from Paddock.  The trunk floor, trunk extensions, and interior floors were not installed yet but are included in the auction.  The lower sections of the quarters have not been welded either.  I'm really picky about my work, so if I were to keep this car, I would go back and re-repair a lot of the work that was already done.  But not everyone is like me and a lot of people would be glad to pick up right where the previous owner stopped. The car sat on it's rails for while and was shuffled around which dented the pinch welds and outer rockers.  I have taken pictures of the numbers on the radiator support and the trunk gutter, which on pre-69 models do not have any relation to the actual VIN.  Just the "B" (Hamtramck Plant), the "8" (1968), the "X" (Charger Line) were related to the VIN.  The remaining numbers were not the sequence numbers but instead, was an vehicle order number.  The dash frame with the original VIN plate were not sold with the body and I do not know where it ended up.  I saw the car before the restoration began and this car was originally green, green interior, green vinyl top, 318, auto on the floor w/ console, and factory A/C.  You could use this shell for many different builds.... the body on your project '68 is badly wrecked or too far gone... or you want to build a race car out of it.... or maybe you just want it for parts.  It's up to you.

Story on the car:  A local gentleman started to restore this car as a father-son project.  They made a lot of progress on the car and spent a lot of money in the process.  The son ended up passing away after a battle with cancer. As you can imagine, the father lost all interest in the this car along with his other projects.  The car sat for a while and then he finally decided to sell everything off.  He didn't want to piece it out but instead, he wanted to sell everything as one lot ('68 Charger, '69 Charger, '70 Charger, and a trailer load of parts).  After many people looked at the lot (myself included) no one would jump on the whole lot.  After a year of trying to sell it, he started to piece things out a little at a time.  Finally, someone purchased the remaining lot.  The lot changed hands a few more times, each time fewer and fewer parts where in the lot and everyone sold it "all-or-nothing"... so I purchased what was left, which included everything you see here along with a pair of complete doors,a deck lid, and a very small handful of misc random parts.  I only purchased it for the doors and deck lid.  They are not included in the auction but if you win the auction, and really want the doors and deck lid, I will sell them for an additional cost of $500.  I would probably keep the car but I have too many projects already.  

I have uploaded 78 detailed pictures of the car to a Photobucket folder and you can view all four pages at http://s6.photobucket.com/user/CornDog05/library/68%20Charger?sort=2&page=1
I can take additional pictures if you like.  Just send me a message.  

This car is being sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, no VIN, and no title.  SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!  Please do not waste my time.  Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements.  The body is fairly light and will be easy to load onto your trailer.  I can assist with loading the car on your trailer.  No negotiations on price after the auction has ended.  Bid what you are willing to pay.  A $200 non-refundable deposit is due within 5 days after the auction has ended.  The remaining balance is due before the vehicle is released for transport.  All funds must clear prior to delivery.  I accept Paypal along with other forms of payment for the deposit.  I will not accept Paypal for the remaining balance due to high fees.  Cash is person is fine too.  Thank you for looking at my auction and Good Luck!

Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.

2013-14 Dodge Viper recalled over faulty door handles

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The 2013-14 Dodge Viper is getting a voluntary recall affecting 1,762 cars worldwide to replace their door-handle assemblies. Of the affected vehicles, FCA US reports there are 1,451 in the US, 160 in Canada, 17 in Mexico and 59 of them outside of NAFTA. After receiving three reports of doors either not closing or opening while driving a low speeds, FCA US engineers found a new sealant from a supplier didn't provide sufficient moisture protection to the electronic switches for the door latches. If the parts get wet, this can potentially cause a short circuit. The automaker is quite clear that are no reports of accidents of injuries from this problem. As always, the recall repairs will be done at no cost to owners, and FCA US will be getting in touch with customers soon about the problem. Related Video: Statement: Door-handle Assemblies April 9, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 1,762 cars globally to replace their door-handle assemblies. FCA US launched an investigation after the Company received three warranty claims linked to doors that failed to close or opened inadvertently while vehicles were moving at low speed. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Engineers determined a sealant, newly adopted by a supplier, provided inconsistent moisture protection to the electronic switches that control the door latches. Switches exposed to moisture may short-circuit. Affected are approximately 1,451 model-year 2013-14 Dodge Viper SRT cars in the U.S.; 160 in Canada; 17 in Mexico and 59 outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be notified and advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
