1968 Dodge Charger - Excellent "original" Project - Drive While You Restore on 2040-cars
College Station, Texas, United States
1968 Dodge Charger. Basically an original, never restored car. Has from what I can tell a year correct 440 engine (Stamped D 440), but was originally a 383 car. Your going to have a hard time finding a complete project car like this one, ready for a quick and easy restoration. Car sat for 3-4 years, I got it running (this past weekend) so it can be driven in and out of the shop and I replaced the Master Cylinder so it would stop. I removed the front windshield and rear glass to inspect any damage from the vinyl top, all the seams and around the windows were good etc but the roof itself (top) and the sail panels needed some attention. All of that work has been completed and car is ready for a new vinyl top. Body is straight, I have a lower RH quater patch panel as most likely a tire blew out and dented the original panel in. It needs to be pulled out or I would recommend installing the patch. Rust bubbles here and there but nothing that is real bad (I would just do 80 grit, treat the rust from backside, and use panel bond to fix and should be good to go). Car can be in the paint booth fast. Original trunk looks great, a couple of spots on the corners that have holes but this is hands down the best Charger trunk I've seen. Trunk drip rails, all great condition. I pulled the hood and the trunk lid off, took those for bead blast and are primed with PPG (professionally done). I have not re-installed the hood yet, will do so this weekend. Interior is all original stuff, needs to be gone through. It appears to be all there, from the carpet to even the original radio, and rear defrost. Condition of the Electrical system is unknown, I hotwired the car to start and drive it. Check my feedback, I have sold numerous classic cars, motorcycles, (about 2-3 per year) etc since 2005 with 100% excellent feedback and have dealt with overseas buyers in the past so no worries (again check my seller feedback). All funds must post before car leaves my garage. I am an honest seller and expect the same from potential buyers. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. Not going to find many 68 Chargers like this, thanks for looking. I do have another 68 Charger that will be going onto Ebay in another week, if your looking for multiple '68 Chargers.
NOTE: I am having problems with uploading the pictures of the car, please check back in a day or two.

Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of
Thu, 25 Apr 2013In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."
Hero gets his truck back better than new thanks to community support [w/video]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014You ever hear a story and start cringing before you hear the end because you know how it's going to turn out? That could very well have been the case with the story from a few weeks ago in West Valley City, Utah, where a 14-year-old kid stole his grandfather's Hyundai Veloster and took it for a joyride - through a park full of children. But instead it turned into a heart-warming tale of heroism and a community banding together to do what's right... and then some.
Bryson Rowley was that hero who identified the danger and, rather than sit idly by and watch the joyrider potentially run over a child, got into his truck and drove it into the menacing runaway hatchback. The collision caused some $7,500 to his 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, but instead of getting stuck with the bill - one which his insurance may very well have refused to pay since the crash was, technically speaking, intentional - his community pitched in a helping hand.
Bryan Ellison, who owns West Valley Carstar with his brother, saw the news on television and wanted to help. So he brought Rowley a rental car, picked up his truck and brought it back to his auto repair shop. People from around the community donated parts, and when all was said and done, some $15,000 of work and upgrades were performed on the Ram that was returned to an overwhelmed Bryson Rowley better than new. Watch the video below for the full story.
Star Wars Episode VII ad is a force for Dodge
Fri, Dec 18 2015Happy Star Wars day! Some of you might be bleary eyed and begging for coffee after attending midnight screenings of Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens last night (*raises hand*) but the show must go on. And for Dodge, that show has been all about Star Wars. While the entirety of FCA joined the tie-in marketing campaign for the long-awaited JJ Abrams blockbuster, Dodge made out the best. According to Wards Auto, the brand's The Force Gathers spot took the top spot in this week's most engaging automotive ads, capturing nearly a quarter of share-of-voice ratings and garnering over a quarter-of-a-million earned online views. Since the ad began airing earlier this month, it's scored over 430,000 views on YouTube alone. The relatively simple ad evokes Darth Vader and his legions of storm troopers. In the 30-second spot, a black Viper leads six long columns of white Chargers, Challengers, and Durangos while John Williams' iconic Imperial March blares in the background. It ends at the stand of an overwhelmed pair of valets outside a screening for Episode VII. We've embedded the spot at the top of the page if you haven't seen it. Check it out, and may the Force be with you. Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens is in theaters today. Related Video:
