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.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon
Fri, 23 May 2014This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts
Tue, 08 Jul 2014When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.
Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new
Thu, Jan 6 2022Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape. BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021. Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year. Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
