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.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats
Wed, 10 Sep 2014We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.
Mopar '13 Dart will roll into Chicago next week
Thu, 31 Jan 2013We think this officially counts as a tradition. Every year going back to 2010, Mopar has rolled out a limited edition version of a popular product from the Chrysler Group portfolio. First it was the Mopar '10 Challenger, then the Mopar '11 Charger, then last year's Mopar '12 300, and this year it will be the Mopar '13 Dart, which will make its official world debut next week at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.
Limited in number to just 500 units, the Mopar '13 Dart is no mere appearance package, though the demeanor of the Dart will be murdered out with a gloss black finish, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a set of Mopar blue stripes and a mean-looking Mopar ground effects kit. Likewise, the interior is touched up with leather seats (a blue one for the driver and black hides for the passengers), gloss black and black chrome trim, blue accent stitching, a sport pedal kit and other Mopar interior accessories.
Turning our attention back to the mechanical bits, the Mopar '13 Dart comes with the car's most powerful engine, a turbocharged 1.4-liter MultiAir four (shared with Fiat 500 Abarth) that's paired with a manual transmission. Those big, black wheels get wrapped in low profile 225/40R18 performance tires, and keeping everything in check is an upgraded brake kit with slotted rotors. The steering has also been calibrated for performance, the suspension lowered seven millimeters, and the exhaust tuned for better engine breathing.
