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

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Peugeot's American future looks dead, but Stellantis intends to keep all brands alive
Fri, Feb 12 2021The years-old promise of a Peugeot return in the U.S. is looking bleaker by the second. Peugeot said the French brand would come back to sell cars in the U.S. five years ago, but now that FCA and PSA have transitioned to one Stellantis, that promise is looking a lot shakier. This news comes via a report from Car and Driver. When queried about Peugeot, Carlos Tavares, Stellantic CEO, offered this in response: “For the time being, I don't think that is part of the things that we want to prioritize for the next time window," Tavares said. "I think it's better that we funnel the talent, the capital, and the engineering capability of our Stellantis company to the existing brands to improve what needs to be improved and to accelerate where we need to accelerate, because we already have a very strong presence in this market." Tavares hasnÂ’t ruled it out entirely, but any kind of a Peugeot American renaissance is being pushed onto the backburner. In good news for American brands, though, Tavares expressed great interest in keeping them all. Chrysler was the most worrisome of the bunch, as it only sells the aging 300 sedan and Pacifica minivan variants. Nevertheless, Tavares sees Chrysler as one of the “three historical pillars of Stellantis” and is eager “to give this brand a future.” Specifically, Tavares sees a high-tech future for the once-great American car company. Motor Trend reported on what Tavares spoke about in a call with the media. "It needs to rebound,” Tavares said. “We could think about what could be the next technologies in the automotive industry.” The obvious hint here is electrification and greater autonomy. Chrysler could theoretically become StellantisÂ’ electric showcase brand. ItÂ’s partway there with the Pacifica Hybrid PHEV minivan, but thereÂ’s still a long way to go for it to become the conglomerate's tech pillar. And then thereÂ’s Dodge and its powerful but emissions-heavy lineup. "We have the technology to deliver the torque, dynamics, and acceleration feeling, while also dramatically reducing the emissions," Tavares said. The Hellcat canÂ’t have a window-shattering 6.2-liter supercharged V8 forever, but it looks like Stellantis is at least committed to keeping the performance of DodgeÂ’s current lineup. Related video:
Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes
Wed, 05 Jun 2013What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.
