This auction is for my 1970 Charger 500 SE - 1 of 2887 built and 1 of 963 painter Cream - Y3. I purchased it in 1999, fully intending to restore it, I had barely gotten started when I started having some health problems. Unfortunately, those4 problems also caused financial issues. As much as I hated doing it, I started parting it out just to get by. I am selling now that the buyer will restore it. If not, there are still many usable parts or parts for resale. What makes this Charger, although not complete is that it is basically a matching numbers car. I was able to find serial numbers on the dashboard VIN plate, the fender plate, the door jam sticker, the radiator support, the trunk stamp under the weather stripping, and also on the engine. What is not original are a 4 barrel, air cleaner, manifold and heads. He had also pit a set of Crager mags on the front, so there are only original hubcaps and they are included. The hubcaps I put on I believe are 1638. The drivers side fender must have been dined as it paint does not match. In addition to the matching numbers, I also have and almost complete window sticker, 2 build sheets, the drivers manual and the original warranty card. I bought the car from the second owner, but he new the original purchaser. The car had not been started for quite a while before I bought it and I have not started it either. The car does have some issues. I parted out basically most of the interior, the front bumper, grill and valance, the radiator, the rear bumper, tail lights and finish panel. Having been parked outside, there is some rust. The rear frame rails, the torsion bar cross member, the front floor pans, the trunk panels, the lower rear quarter panels and the rear valance will need to be replaced or repaired. The fenders are OK with the exception of the usual spot behind the Penstar emblem, just a bit on the lower edge of the doors and rocker panels. underside of the hood and the lip of the trunk and under the vinyl top, This is about average for a northern car. The wiring harness will need to be repaired as the previous owner had added two speakers under the dash and a trailer hitch.
The car has straight sides and does include all the chrome (very minor swirling) and minor pitting on the quarter windows and mirror. In addition, the glass is very good with only minor scratching on the back window and on the drivers window from rolling it up and down. Included will be a number of original parts: The original air cleaner (do not have the carb, manifold etc) Fan, spacer and pulley hood support/latch, fender supports and splash shields the horns headlight buckets, trim and hardware and lights (not T3) wash bottle (not the best condition)battery box and strap gas cap and trim ring (some pitting) front turn signals/parking lights side marker lights (one red lens missing and some pitting) 2 original deep dish hub caps spare tire interior trim heater control interior door handles and window cranks gas and brake pedals with custom trim dome light dash speedometer and instrument cluster - no clock (unfortunately I broke one of the pins on the module. It is but I don't know if it can be repaired). All switches (headlights, windshield wipers etc.) are still in the car. I even have a 1970 and 1978 Michigan license plates that I will throw in.
Although I do have offers locally, they would just use the Charger for parts. Considering the matching number and documentation, I would hope that the new owner would restore it and give to it what I couldn't.

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip
Thu, Jul 20 2023J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."Â Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.
How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set
Tue, Jul 19 2022Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
