For sale is this numbers matching 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 with a 727 torqueflight automatic transmission.  This car is in great shape!  If you are in the market for a car that is ready to drive, this is the car is for you.  If you are looking for a frame off restoration candidate, it is tough to find a more complete and original car.  The interior is in incredible shape and includes the original console and original radio (radio is installed but not functioning at this time).  The body on the car is very straight.  There are a few minor rust spots on the rear quarter panels behind the rear tires.  If you are familiar with these cars, this is a very typical location for rust to start. The trunk pan has had some work done to it by a previous owner (see photo), but would need to be replaced to be right.  The vinyl top is in good shape, and there are no signs of rust bubbles anywhere on the roof or behind the back glass, which are also common areas of concern on these cars.


The 727 torqueflight transmission is recently rebuilt.  The car has been driven less than 100 miles since the transmission was rebuilt.  There is a small drip out of the rear seal, and I believe when the drive shaft was re-installed, the rear seal was bumped out of place.  I have a replacement seal, but have not replaced it yet.  The car has power drum brakes with new pads, solenoids, and a new power brake booster. This car still has the factory a/c (a/c is not charged).  This car also has factory power steering.  The power steering pump has a small leak and may need rebuilding or replaced.  Also, the heater core is not currently connected, and needs to be replaced.

The odometer reads 27,925mi. I believe this to be the original mileage, but don't know if it the odometer rolled over and this is actually 127,925.

You’ll notice the R/T scoops on the doors. This was typically a 1970 feature. I have been told this was an option on later 1969 models, but I have not confirmed that.  They may have been added by a previous owner.

Bottom line, this is a really nice car. It isn't perfect, and is not being advertised as such.  I have tried to mention the items I am aware of that need to be corrected on the car to make it closer to perfect.  Again, this is a very complete car, and with a little work and a fresh coat of paint, it could be back to show room quality.

Successful buyer is to pay non-refundable deposit of $500 within 48 hours of auctions end.  PayPal is an okay payment method for the deposit. The balance of payment is due with 7 days of the end of the auction.  Balance of payment is to be in the form of cash, money order, or I will consider a bank wire transfer.  The funds will need to clear prior to release of the car.  The buyer will be responsible for arranging shipping and paying all shipping charges.  Obviously, I will discuss timing of pick-up of the vehicle with the successful buyer. The car is sold as is with no exceptions.  There are no warranties expressed or written. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

If you are a serious buyer and want to discuss details, please call me at 318-243-3016.

Over 1,000 Ram pickups lap Nurburgring in world record parade

Tue, Nov 8 2016

How many Ram trucks would you think you'd see in one place anywhere outside the US? If you by any chance happened to be at the Nurburgring Nordschleife track in Germany the past weekend, you would have seen a great deal of them, as Ram enthusiasts grouped together to set a Guinness World Record. The record called for as many pick-up trucks as possible to form a parade, with the previous, Mexican-set record having consisted of 638 trucks; the earlier Ram-specific record featured 451 trucks. On November 5th, as many as 1,152 Ram trucks gathered at the 'Ring, and of course a lap of the Nordschleife track was the place for the actual parade. This video, which is more than a half-hour, shows the multitude of Rams slowly lapping the track, with flags waving in the cold November air. Honking horns was strictly prohibited, and the Rams did not off-road through the Adenauer Forst S-bend's grass. This is also one of the rare Nurburgring videos where no-one crashes into the railings at great speed. The parade was arranged by a vehicle trading company called AutoGlobalTrade, which originally aimed for 1,317 trucks to arrive at the Nurburgring, but the official number is still something to be proud of. The majority of the trucks were German, with some Rams having arrived from neighboring countries.

2020 Colorado Winter Driver's Notes | Behind the Wheel S02 // E12

Mon, Apr 6 2020

2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 I’ve had bad luck with SUVs this winter. Especially performance ones. First, I got a 2019 Range Rover Sport SVR delivered on summers right as two feet of snow fell, rendering it undriveable. Then, coronavirus cancelled Easter Jeep Safari as well as my trip out to Moab in the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Diesel. Thankfully, when this 469 horsepower luxury mall crawler was dropped off, the sun shone down and the snow (mostly) held off.  The first thing that I noticed was there were a few blank buttons throughout the cabin, something that you may see in an entry model vehicle, but IÂ’m not accustomed to seeing in an AMG. Not a great look for a vehicle with an $80,000 price tag. Thankfully that was where the disappointment ended. As soon as you press the start button, the engine fires up and the exhaust note is incredible. Hopping on the highway ramp near my house, I floored it, and the biturbo V8 had me pressed back into the driver's seat, and this wasnÂ’t even the S version that our staff drove last year. Inside and out, the GLC 63 was everything youÂ’d expect from Mercedes. The interior was immaculate, and while the infotainment wheel and touch pad may take some getting used to for someone who isnÂ’t familiar, by now I have it down so that I can use it without looking. And while the V8 left me smiling ear to ear, I was most impressed by the amount of useable interior space there is. I happened to be moving at the time of this review and while all of my large furniture was shoved into the back of a moving van, I was able to fit almost everything else in the back of the GLC. 2019 and 2020 Fiat 500X Trekking ItÂ’s hard to say goodbye to an AMG and then turn around and be excited when a Fiat 500X pulls in your driveway (I know, I know, automotive journalist problems). That being said, when the red Fiat pulled up, I found myself admiring it. I am very familiar with the 500X. Back in 2016 Autoblog had one for a year as our long term test vehicle. I drove that car everywhere, multiple trips up north in Michigan, and even tracked it at Gingerman Raceway for a few laps before the brakes started smoking.  The 2019 model I had in my driveway and the 2020 model I drove in the snow up in the mountains feel very similar to that car. The interior is stylish and surprisingly roomy. The greenhouse is airy.

Dodge hoping Fast & Furious appearance gives Dart a sales jolt [w/video]

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, Chrysler is hoping Fast & Furious 6 will be kind to the Dodge Dart. While the compact sedan doesn't actually show up in the film, Dodge has partnered up with the movie franchise for a new ad featuring the Dart.
Chrysler hasn't exactly seen the high sales numbers it was originally hoping for with the new sedan, thanks in part to a couple of missteps. For starters, most early-production vehicles were only offered with a manual transmission. Analysts believe Chrysler squandered around 95 percent of potential Dart sales because automatic transmission options weren't immediately available.
Right now, the Dodge Dart rakes 19th among compact cars, pulling down 31,064 sales through April. Last month was the company's strongest, with 8,099 units moving off of dealer lots. Unfortunately, the model has also been handicapped by its older sister, the Avenger. With Chrysler throwing heavy incentives at the aging sedan, many consumers have taken advantage of a better deal with the slightly larger, more powerful Avenger.
