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.

China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians

Tue, Aug 15 2017

NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience — in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin — though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Dodge Shadow America

Tue, Aug 2 2016

A quarter-century ago, most Americans looking for a cheap transportation appliance went for cars like the miserably-stripped-down-but-bulletproof Toyota Tercel or the feature-laden-but-reliability-challenged Hyundai Excel. Chrysler, having just discontinued the elderly "Omnirizon" platform, took the Dodge Shadow and its Plymouth sibling, the Sundance and offered a car that was bigger, more powerful, and better-equipped than just about anything else for the price: the America! These cars depreciated hard and nearly all were crushed a decade ago, so sightings are extremely rare today. Here's one that I found in a Northern California self-service yard. This one still had windshield paperwork indicating that it was an insurance-company auction car (probably totaled in a fender-bender that caused $200 worth of damage) and that it was a runner at the time it got junked. Such is the fate of 24-year-old economy cars in rough shape. The Shadow was a member of the many-branched K-Car family tree, and the Shadow America came with the same 2.2-liter straight-4 engine that powered millions of Caravans, Daytonas, New Yorkers, and Lasers. You got more torque than the competition, plus a driver's-side airbag instead of the maddening automatic seat belts found in other low-priced cars of 1992. Of course, the paint tended to peel off within a few years and the build quality of the Shadow was hit-or-miss, but these cars were way nicer to drive than, say, a Tercel EZ or Subaru Justy.

Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.
