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's next-gen minivans will get more expensive
Mon, Feb 2 2015Chrysler introduced the value-oriented Great American Package on the base model Chrysler 300 in 2005. That morphed into the American Value Package available as an option on the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2012, which made it the lowest-priced minivan in the country, now with an MSRP of $21,395. Automotive News reports that Chrysler is going to kill the value package when the new Town & Country arrives for 2017, because the new platform and technology of the coming minivan make it "a difficult price point to get to." AN says the next-generation haulers will come in around $26,000 and can go beyond $45,000 with options; clicking every "Add" button we could find on the Town & Country build page, we couldn't get past $43,000 for today's model. That entry pricing in 2017 would eliminate the first three trims on the Dodge option, the American Value Package, the SE that starts at $24,195, and the SE Plus that starts at $24,995. This makes us think the next-generation haulers will take a sizable step upscale in terms of feel, content, and trim, a la the Chrysler 200. In this writer's opinion, if they do as good a job as they've been doing recently, the extra money will be worth it. There have been spy shots and a lot of rumors about it, like the Caravan minivan going away and becoming a crossover, but we'll see it revealed at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.

2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Enamored 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.
Jay Leno drives a 1970 Dodge Charger with 1,650 horsepower
Tue, Feb 23 2016When Jay Leno says a vehicle might have too much horsepower, he's got our attention piqued. That's exactly what he thinks about the 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum from Wisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance. While it still looks like a classic muscle car, the front end now features a carbon fiber hood and fenders. Underneath the lightweight parts, there's a twin-turbo, 9.0-liter Mercury Marine offshore boat racing engine with an astonishing 1,650 horsepower, or an only slightly less asinine 1,350 hp on pump gas. Jay is very mechanically intrigued by the Charger at the beginning of this video, and puts it on the lift to take a look at the underside. The engine plumbing is a thing of beauty, and the mill packs a massive radiator and intercooler to keep things running cool. Leno's drive in the Tantrum is especially interesting. The beastly engine is difficult to control, and anything above half throttle in most gears can spin the rear tires. The significant turbo lag also makes the power unpredictable. When Jay finally finds a straight piece of road, he puts the hammer down and rockets into the distance. And, of course, you know Jay's not going to end the video without some suitably smoking tires.
