I have had this car since 2004 and will describe it to the very best of my ability.  I am not real eager to sell, but other things have priorities.  This is a 1969 dodge charger, was a factory ac car, but ac is long gone.  I have a non ac heater box that will go with the car, but it is not installed.  I never drove the car in cold weather so I never installed it.  So no heat, no air.  Original engine was a 383 2 barrell.  Now has a 1969 440 hp motor.  Rear end is a 3:55 suregrip, automatic transmission.  vin matches title, dash trunk lip and radiator support. clean, clear title.

Ok good points.  Engine was rebuilt and I have put just over 2000 miles on it.  transmission was rebuilt as well.  Brand new sure grip rear end installed last summer.  I have about 500 miles on it.  Gas tank , sending unit, all lines are new.  Car has 4 wheel drum brakes,  all new lines, booster, master cylinder and brake components.  Could stop better, but it is a drum brake car.  All the wiring is new from Year one. that includes dash harness rear light harness , forward light harness, all of them.  I spent lotsa money on factory wiring for this car.  Alternator, starter, hp manifolds, power steering pump, radiator, are all new and also from year one.  Paint is about 2 years old. It isnt a show car paint job, but is very presentable.    I had trunk pan , extensions, and rear crossmember replaced.  Both rear quarters were replaced, prior to my ownership.  vaccum headlights work as they should.  I installed dynamat on the door panels and floor boards as well as new carpert and new center console.  Exhaust system was installed last year with dynamax mufflers.  Not a concourse factory job, but its ok. 

Bad points.  The front end is original and has not been changed, at least to not  my knowledge.  The car drives straight without any issues, but it was my intent to have it upgraded eventually.  It needs a rear leaf spring shackle bushing installed on the drivers side.  The interior is all original.  and looks ok.  I would probably only replace the seat covers and the headligner.  There is a mouse hole under the passenger side sunvisor.  Look at the pics and you can tell.  Not bad, but to be perfect, they need changed, but perfectly fine for me now as a driver car. missing back cover on passenger seat.  Door panels are nice as well as the door pads, especially for 45 years old.  windows all roll up and down fine, except the right rear. It works, but needs guided with your hand.  It has a bad nylon roller,  Not a big issue, expecially being a general lee, but wanted to point it out.  radio is an am radio and is for looks.  I wanted the factory appearance, but really have no desire for am radio.  It does leak some oil and the power steering box recently started leaking, Iam pretty sure from the rear seal needs replaced.  Not a major issue for as often as I drive the car, but I wanted to point them out. 

General lee stuff.  It has high quality decals installed a year ago, push bar and roll bar are an exact match from the show.  Cb is the cobra 78x as the original general lees, it is mounted but not wired to the car.  has  the correct tear drop antenna.  Wheels are american racing vecors 8.5 on the rear with 245 60 r 15 bfg and 15x7 up front running 235 60 r 15.  Tires are all in good shape,  Same 2000 miles on them.  The sunvisors were signed by john schneider on the drivers side and tom wopat on the passenger side.  The tail lights are from a Original tv series general lee and have the plaque mounted on them from when they were purchased from warner bros.  Has the dixie horn, but factory horn is still functional. 

All in all it is a very nice driver General Lee that gets tons of attention and blows away other cars at the car shows.  It is a blast for sure.  I usually just drive it around locally, and have not driven it on any where more than a 60 mile round trip, so whether or not you can pick it up and drive it home across country.   Your guess is as good as mine.  I wouldnt, but thats just me.

I think I have covered it pretty well, althogh I am sure Iam forgetting something.  if you have any questions or need additional pics please email me.

I require a $250 dollar non refundable deposit immediately after the auction closes. 

If you want to inspect it before you bid, that is fine, and I encourage it.

Prefer cash pickup in person, but  if you have it shipped, I will not release the car until the entire purchase price clears the issuers bank.

Thank you

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's 707 storming horses can be yours for $60k

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

We love a good deal on high performance. It's what traditionally makes muscle cars so appealing - you get lots of speed, for not a lot of money. For 2015, Dodge has taken this to its logical extreme, offering its new 707-horsepower, supercharged, V8-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for just $59,900. For those wondering, that works out to just about $85 per horsepower, which when compared with a typical budget performance car, like the $24,995, 210-hp Volkswagen GTI ($119 per hp), demonstrates the Hellcat's astonishing value.
The information was revealed by a photo (click on the inset image to expand) taken at this week's Portland launch event (our man Seyth Miersma is just now on the ground and will have a full report on the madness that is the Hellcat soon) for the entire 2015 Challenger range, and reveals the Hellcat's price alongside its high-powered competitors from Ford and Chevrolet.
The discontinued 662-hp Mustang GT500 started at $56,000, while the 580-hp Camaro ZL1 starts off at $58K. Indeed, the only muscle car that outprices the Hellcat is the track-focused Camaro Z/28, a car that we're guessing could still wallop the Hellcat on the right piece of track, despite being down over 200 hp.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
