1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE, ....a real XS29L9  R/T with the rare "SE" Option.

Black(X9) with Black Vinyl Roof(AO1), Tan Interior, PS, PB, Tinted Glass, Stripe Delete, Original #'s Matching 440 Magnum Engine(un-rebuilt & never been out of the Car) and 727 HD Automatic Transmission, 3.23 Geared Posi-Traction 8 3/4" Differential, all Original Sheet Metal with one repaint in 1986(Black again),and minor fix-ups back then in 1986, small town British Columbia Canada Car, never hit and very straight body with only minor rock chips. Trunk Floor, Drops, Pans, Frame Rails, Door Lips, all original and in decent shape. It Runs and Drives very well, and the original 440 Magnum can still Roast the tires at will, the Automatic shifts very crisp, no loose Steering Parts, the Brakes feel somewhat "touchy" but I think it is because they are 4 Wheel Drum power assisted ? Stops just fine though. Fender Tag is there and supports everything on the Car...although I have NOT looked for a Broadcast Sheet...no reason to believe it isn't there somewhere ? somebody will probably ask...so I guess I'll take a look, and hope I don't damage anything in the process...stay tuned.

These Cars in this condition, are getting extremely tough to find...most either rusted away to nothing, were beat to death by Hippies, got smashed or written off, and the ones still left... were either "Restored" or "Cloned" into something they were NOT...or never WILL BE.

Makes no sense to me why anybody would spend many Tens of Thousands "restoring" a lesser Charger ? or "Clone" one...... and when done...still not have either the Rarity, Factory Color Options, or Numbers present in this Original R/T SE  from new to retain it's Investment Value.    It was Family owned for decades, and was basically very well maintained, as evidenced by the original & powerful 440 "Magnum" Engine that wasn't abused, Blown up, and still doesn't smoke.      I don't know what a "Survivor" Car is ? or what qualifies as one ?....or if this can be called a "Survivor" Car...because as I said earlier it had a "repaint" and some "fix-ups" in 1986....ALL I DO KNOW....is that it is about as "close it gets" to that Survivor "status" as something that was owned, and DRIVEN, with appropriate care & regular maintenance along the way.

    The only "problems" would be the original Gas Tank will need replaced at some point ? and the Sending Unit as the gas gauge quit working ? The car did sit for a period of years, and even though it was garaged, I believe the inside of the tank is "rusty" because it was plugging up the pickup in the tank. It has a small electric pump wired under the hood to help overcome this problem, seems to work fine now and can be driven, but it is not "right" as the Car obviously deserves to be repaired properly with a New Tank & Sending Unit back on the stock pump. Both are available aftermarket.

I noticed the Right Rear Axle Seal is sweating a bit onto the backing plate, it doesn't seem to affect anything, but should be done at some point I guess ?

The Windshield Washer Reservoir has a hole in it, Never tried it, so I don't know if the pump works ? Both available aftermarket.

The Hood Mounted Turn Indicators work fine, but the plastic tangs are broken so maybe loose a bit ? They are available aftermarket.

Ask any questions and I will try and answer as best I can, or send your email for more specific photos requested.

I reserve the right to cancel this E-Bay auction at any time, if Vehicle Sold due to being listed locally outside E-Bay. 

Car can be delivered to Eureka Montana 59917 for U.S.A. Buyers, however, all export/import papers are the responsibility of the Buyer, although I will assist those efforts, .....Canadians can drive it away home.

2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Enamored of the Dodge Challenger but wish you could get one with a shaker hood? We've got good news, because Dodge and Mopar have teamed up to bring it back.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker packs the same 5.7-liter Hemi V8 as the standard Challenger R/T, but upgrades the business end with a through-the-hood exposed cold-air intake system. The retro hood scoop protrudes from the center of the hood in satin black (matching the decklid spoiler) to feed the Hemi and shakes with the engine just like the original from 1970. The Shaker model also comes with a Super Track Pak that adds a new steering rack, brake linings, shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car rubber. You can also shut off the stability management system completely in this car. A series of interior and exterior trim enhancements round out the look. The whole package adds $2,500 to the price of a Challenger R/T Classic for an all-in MSRP of $36,995.
In case that's not enough, Dodge is also offering a limited-edition Mopar Challenger that follows the 2010 Mopar Challenger, 2011 Mopar Charger, 2012 Mopar 300 and 2013 Mopar Dart. Limited to just 100 examples, the 2014 Mopar Challenger gets the same Shaker hood intake, unique graphics and wheels, an enhanced interior and a long list of optional extras from the Mopar parts catalog. Dodge isn't saying just yet how much the Mopar Challenger will cost, but you can bet it will command a considerable premium for the exclusivity alone.

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022

Thu, Feb 10 2022

For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.

These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond

Fri, Jun 21 2024

While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years.  We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.   Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."   Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?   Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.   Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.   Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.   Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
