I have decided to list ONE TIME on ebay my REAL RED 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. This car was sold brand new in 1969 after the Talladega 500 race. It was truly one of those "Race on Sunday, buy on Monday" type cars. When the original owner walked into the dealership that Monday in Birmingham AL, they had 2 Daytonas on their floor. A blue one and a red one. The red with black wing was chosen(I have pictures of the blue Daytona from this dealership as well!) The original owner was an airline pilot, and kept a meticulous log(as most pilots do) of every SINGLE thing he did to the car since 1969, including receipts for oil changes, spark plug wires, you name it. This car was a daily driver and was USED as such. It towed boats, drove all over the country, and even went back to the Talladega 500 in 1970 and he watched the race sitting on the wing with his feet propped up on the back window!!! See the pic below! By 1979 the car was still going strong at 99000 miles, and the transmission was changed at this time. By 1986 the car was being used a little  more sparingly, and had 126,800 miles when the engine was changed for a new 440. In 1998 the car had a whopping 142000 miles(a lot for a daytona anyway!) and he decided to have the car redone. This took 3 years and well over $22000 dollars on the refresh. At that time a date code correct 1969 440 and matching transmission were taken from a 1969 Charger R/T and completely rebuilt(i have pictures of the donor car and engine). The car was driven less than 2000 miles since it's restoration in 2000 mainly to shows, the Talladega reunions, etc. I personally remember the car at a few shows across the southeast around 2005-2007. In Feb. 2013 the original owner passed away at the age of 80, and I acquired the car from the family this past June. It had 144,102 miles on it at that time. Since June I  have only put 63 miles on the Daytona. To be quite honest, I am a bit scared to drive a car like this, as they are so rare and OEM parts are nonexistant should something happen to it. I did cruise the car and get it up to 70 mph when driving. It was awesome!

This Daytona will be the crown jewel of someone's collection. I have enjoyed owning it, but feel much more comfortable driving my less valuable Daytona clone around, and figured it was time to give it a new loving home. The car as stated runs and drives great, the gauges work, the console lights work, even the small key light works. The car sounds all stock and fires up quickly and effortlessly. The only thing i noticed did not work on the couple drives I took was the tachometer. I would consider this automotive piece of history a strong daily driver. While not a survivor, or a 100 point show car, it is a VERY nice car and has been a southern car all it's life. There is no carfax report on the car(HA!), but i can tell you it is now a 2 owner car, and has 1 accident. This happened in 1970 when the car was 8 months old. It was hit in the passenger door. It was repaired decently in 1970 and stayed that way until 1998 when it was restored. At that time it was fixed correctly, and you cannot tell now if i didn't have the pictures to prove it. Like I said, I am only listing this car ONCE, I was VERY fortunate to be able to buy this car, and am not against keeping it forever. If you have kept up with the market on Superbirds and Daytonas, you already know about what a car like this is worth. My reserve is priced VERY low for a car of this caliber. In fact I would venture to say I have not seen a real Daytona in this shape sell for less than my reserve in probably 15 years. I've watched some project cars sell for less than this car will go for. So yes it is priced to sell. If you're in the market for a real Daytona in a beautiful color combo, this is your one chance. I am really not interested in trades. The lucky new owner will get all paperwork and photo albums I have of the car, as well as it's original Alabama historic antique plate. The car has the fender tag, but the family could not locate the build sheet from the car. This is a very serious auction, please bid only if you have the funds available to purchase this car. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time for any reason. I will assist in the transaction whether you're 20 miles away or anywhere in the world. It seems that most of the nicer cars I have sold over the years have gone to many many other countries, including Germany, Sweden, UK, Australia, and Italy.  Thanks for looking and good luck!

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

Takata airbag recall claims 209k Chrysler, Dodge vehicles

Fri, Dec 12 2014

Chrysler is expanding the scope of its front passenger side Takata airbag inflator recall yet again to include 139,115 additional vehicles for a total of 208,783 units now needing these parts replaced. The latest campaign affects the passenger side inflators of the 2003-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, 2003-2005 Dodge Ram 2500, 2003-2005 Dodge Ram 3500, 2004-2005 Durango; 2005 Dakota pickup; 2005 Dodge Magnum and 2005 Chrysler 300 (pictured above), 300C and SRT8. It's limited to vehicles purchased or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan and the US Virgin Islands. The company expects owners to be notified by February 8. The automaker just expanded the replacement campaign last week to include passenger side inflators in 149,150 pickups from the 2003 model year. However, the parts are not the same. Chrysler says this recall is for the PSPI family of components versus SPI for the last one. The company is also not aware of any injuries or accidents in its vehicles from these potentially faulty inflators, and lab testing of 600 of them finds no issues. Despite this, Chrysler is repairing these models at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Scroll down to read the company's full announcement of the initiative. Statement: Air-bag Inflator (Regional Field Action Expansion) December 12, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Chrysler Group is expanding an ongoing regional field action with a recall to replace front passenger-side air-bag inflators in an estimated 208,783 older-model vehicles originally purchased or ever registered in seven U.S. states and five territories. The vehicles are equipped with front passenger-side air-bag inflators from a product family code-named "PSPI." Chrysler Group is unaware of any injuries or accidents involving PSPI inflators of the type covered by this campaign, nor has a Chrysler Group investigation identified a defect in these components. Further, laboratory tests on nearly 600 such inflators did not result in any failures. The inflators affected by this campaign differ in design and construction from PSPI inflators used by other auto makers. They also benefited from a more robust manufacturing process. However, at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Chrysler Group is expanding its replacement action beyond its original scope of Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S.
