1969 Dodge Charger - Solid 383 Car on 2040-cars
College Station, Texas, United States
1969 Dodge Charger, 383 car. I would call condition Driver Quality. Please view pictures for best description of the overall condition. All the parts I have for the car are on it, so if you don't see it I don't have it - sorry. Underneath of the car looks very good, no rust that I can see in the rails or torque boxes. Some rust/soft areas in the inner fender wells, but overall remarkably good condition underneath for a '69 Charger. Paint: Paint is not ideal, 15 footer, has the following defects: Paint has rust in the exterior of the hood (see pics), 2 rust spots on tail light panel (see pics), 1 spot on rear lower valance where bondo was used, large scratch down passenger side low (see pics), and other miscellaneous scratches/dings etc. The good: quarters were replaced, trunk floor appears to have been replaced, and from >15ft or at night the car looks great. Could easily fix the bad spots with a color match, I haven't tried to cover any of it. The R/T stripe, badge, and Hemi stickers were added (this is not an R/T or Hemi Car). Engine: The 383 runs very strong, obviously rebuilt at some point. Car has not been driven in a while, other than started periodically in storage so it needs to get out and run. Fuel tank is recent, new fuel filter, carb was disassembled and cleaned recently. Idles good, no hesitation, gets up and goes. Interior: Needs to be redone/reupholstered. Original headliner, dash pad, missing the correct rear seat, some genius put in a rear seat from a '74 that obviously doesn't fit right. I do have a blue original 1969 rear seat I can include for a $350 adder to the final sale price. Floors are good, has fiberglass in the driver side, I would have used metal personally but it's solid and doesn't flex. Mechanical: Just finished a brake job on the car, drums up front and in back. Car will have a new brake booster (not shown in pics). Has a popping noise in the front suspension, needs to be rebuilt. Car needs new tires, they are bad. I have the 4th 14" wheel and it is included in the auction (I will keep the rally wheel and put a roller in it's place). The front headlight wiring harness is missing (from the connector at the batter tray to the headlights) and the vacuum equipment/lines is missing so headlights do not work. Obviously doors can be lifted manually. My recommendation would be to have the front end rebuilt (I think the kit is $300-400) before the car will be road worthy. Motor runs strong so no worries there. I've described the car to the best of my ability, I have 100% feedback, and intend to keep it that way. Please ask any questions, I will answer accordingly. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Overseas bidders are welcome, and I have sold cars over the years worldwide feel free to check my excellent feedback on those transactions. Vehicle will not leave my possession until funds post in full. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding on this '69 Charger, and please check my other auctions as I have 4 cars that will be up for sale (1970 Dodge Charger, 1969 Firebird, 1968 Chevelle) to fund my new projects.

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing
Wed, Jul 15 2015Japan seems willing to embrace a level of automotive insanity that many other places lack. Whether it's 1,200-horsepower Nissan GT-Rs blasting through tight, tree-lined mountain roads or advertisements with dances for the Toyota Prius Plug-in, the country definitely has a unique way of expressing a love for autos. The D-Van Grand Prix might be one of our favorite examples yet of crazy Japanese car culture, because the annual, one-make race at the Ebisu Circuit is exclusively for heavily customized Dodge vans. Like many great things, this wonderfully crazy idea came from a little rule breaking. D-Van Grand Prix organizer Takuro Abe was at a track event for a motorcycle racing school, and vans were used to haul the bikes around. During lunch someone came up with the idea for a race. Ignoring that the big machines weren't actually allowed on the circuit, the drivers headed out. The popularity has just grown since then. These days, the racing vans absolutely aren't the stock machines from the event's inspiration. In addition to stripped interiors and track rubber that you might expect, the list of mods for them is a mile long. For every possible advantage, the racers fit them with things like Brembo brakes, cross-drilled rotors, heavy-duty transmissions, and much more. Seeing vans lumbering around the track is very weird at first, but the racers take the competition very seriously. These folks even employ all sorts of little tricks to coax the most from the machines. This is a fascinating motorsports story, but be sure to turn on the subtitles to understand the interviews with the competitors.
FCA adds 88k Dodge Challengers to Takata inflator recall
Mon, Jul 13 2015The Takata airbag inflator recall from FCA US is growing 88,346 vehicles larger in the US after the company's discovery of the faulty parts in the 2008-2010 Dodge Challenger. The affected examples have production dates between September 19, 2007, and October 29, 2010, and the coupes need the replacement components on the driver's side. According to chronology posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), the automaker was auditing the models covered under the campaign in July and "identified a population of vehicles that was inadvertently excluded." Initially, FCA believed these cars were using an unrecalled Takata inflator. The audit revealed that the affected cars indeed used a recalled version. As with the rest of the faulty parts, exposure to moisture can cause them to ignite too quickly during an airbag deployment and spray shrapnel at occupants. The problem has been linked to at least eight deaths worldwide and a vehicle fire in Japan. The Challenger wasn't previously part of FCA's 3.3-million unit national campaign or the subsequent expansion. According to FCA US the parts to complete the repairs in these Challengers aren't currently available. However, owners will be notified of the issue by mail starting August 14. They will receive a second notice when the parts become available.

The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture. CONSEQUENCE: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. Parts to remedy the vehicles are not currently available. Interim notices will be mailed to owners beginning August 14, 2015.
Trump tells Detroit 3 CEOs he wants more US jobs, calls environmentalists 'out of control'
Tue, Jan 24 2017As expected, President Donald J. Trump met with top executives from FCA, Ford, and General Motors this morning as part of a larger push to generate jobs in America. "I want new plants to be built here for cars sold here!", Trump said in a tweet ahead of the meeting. Not everything said in the meeting was made public, but the President later tweeted that he had a "Great meeting with automobile industry leaders." FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne, Ford chief Mark Fields, and GM's Mary Barra all echoed the positive vibes after the meeting. In a statement, Barra called the discussion "very constructive and wide-ranging," adding that it focused on "policies that support a strong and competitive economy and auto industry," and "that supports the environment and safety." That's noteworthy, because Trump is reported to have said "I am to a large extent an environmentalist. I believe in it, but it's out of control." Fields, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said, "We're excited about working together with the president and his administration on tax policies, on regulation and on trade to really create a renaissance in American manufacturing." The Ford CEO was specifically talking about Trump's withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. "We've repeatedly said that the mother of all trade barriers is currency manipulation, and TPP failed in meaningfully dealing with that, and we appreciate the president's courage to walk away from a bad trade deal," he said. Marchionne focused on American manufacturing in his statement after the meeting. "I appreciate the President's focus on making the US a great place to do business. We look forward to working with President Trump and members of Congress to strengthen American manufacturing." Perhaps equally as interesting as what was said and who was invited are what wasn't said and who wasn't invited. Trump has been very vocal about his distaste for US automakers' plants in Mexico, but no mention was made of the North American Free Trade Agreement by Trump or any of the Detroit CEOs after the meeting. We also have to wonder if Trump plans to meet with representatives from German, Japanese, and Korean automakers that have made massive investments into American plants and produce a large number of cars in this country.
