Before I am asked... No, there is not a Buy it Now price. If you are interested in the car, please bid what you are willing to pay. The auction will run the full 7 days and will not end until Sunday evening (12-15-13). Thank you for understanding.
Now... Up for auction is your chance to own a very rare 1968 Dodge Charger. This isn't your regular run-of-the-mill Charger... this car is one of only 902 built in 1968 with a 225 cubic inch slant six engine and an automatic transmission. Originally, this car was white with a black vinyl top and red interior. I saved this car from someone who had plans of "fixing it up one day"... when in reality, the car would have just sat in their yard and it would have gone downhill from there. The original slant six and automatic transmission are not in the car and the previous owner did not have it either. From what I heard, the car was up and running just fine until the late 90's when it ran hot and was parked. The engine was pulled for overhaul... the owner never got around to it and decided to sell it. The previous owner bought the car with the intensions to drop a V8 in it... and never did. That is when I purchased the car. The car is actually in pretty nice shape! It has your typical B-body rust issues here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary. The reddish-orange paint job is "amateur" best. It does not look like much (if any) body work was done before the paint was applied. It even has a few cat paw prints here and there... haha. From what I can tell, all of the original body panels are still on the car and it has never been wrecked. The grille looks very nice with just a couple stress cracks on the surround. I do not see any missing sections on the grille, which is nearly impossible! It even has the '68-only bezel surrounding the bulbs which are commonly missing. The doors, hood, and trunk lid open and close fine. As I mentioned... this car has typical B-body rust in the lower quarters, trunk floor, trunk extensions, rear valance, one rocker panel and a couple small flaky soft spots in the floor. All four frame rails and torsion bar crossmember look to be very solid though!! Surprisingly, the rear glass area looks to be very solid... which if you've looked at Chargers, you know this spot usually goes first. The roof has a small spot right above the rear glass and it will need some attention as well as the seams on the sail panels. Every panel has it's fair share of minor dents and dings... but like I said, it has never been wrecked. This car was a daily driver for 30 years. It's amazing that it is still in good shape. Drive it as is or restore it back to show quality. The interior will need to be replaced but is mostly intact. The cluster shows it's age and displays 944 miles. I'm sure this is actually 100,944 miles. The seats are not original to the car and I'm not sure what they came out of. The buckets are currently not bolted in, but were at one time. There is no headliner in the car, but most of the bows are in the trunk. The glass looks decent but the windshield will need to be replaced. The engine bay looks very solid with the exception of the battery tray. The car originally had power steering, manual drum brakes, non-A/C, and a 2 speed windshield wiper motor. The original slant six K-frame and swap bar is still in the car. The car also still has its original 8 1/4 rear end. The grille and all of it's components are still intact. The headlight doors are not frozen and will open and close by hand. I do not have a driveshaft for the car. All four wheels roll fine but two of the tires will only hold air for a few hours. I can air up the tires when it is time to pick up the car, but if you decide to pull this car on a two wheel dolly, I would strongly recommend bringing a good pair of wheels and tires. The fender tag and VIN plate are still on the car and I have a CLEAR MISSISSIPPI TITLE that is ready to be signed over to the new owner. The fender tag decodes as followed: XP29: Dodge Charger 2 Door Sports Hardtop 21: 225cid Slant Six Engine 5: 3-Speed Automatic Transmission 33: 7.35x14 Tires 325: March 25, 1968 Build Date AX2: 2.94 Rear Axle Ratio TRM C6R: Charger Trim Grade, Vinyl Bucket Seats. Red Interior. PNY WW1: Monotone White Paint. UBS R: Burgundy Metallic Upper Door Frame Color. MOLDINGS: 25: Drip Rail Mouldings 30: Body Belt Mouldings 78: Wheel Lip Mouldings ABC OPTIONS: R1: AM Radio Y6: Black Vinyl Top abc OPTIONS: b4: Bucket Seats This would make a GREAT Christmas present for someone who has always been wanting a Dodge Charger! It would also be a great start to building a Dukes of Hazzard General Lee replica (It looks like it was heading that way anyways). But if you are like me, I would love to see it restored back to original with a correct slant six... and put it back white, w/ a black top, and red interior... but that's just me. I'm kind of a purist for rare and unusual Mopars! :) The sky is the limit. ALL BIDDERS, PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: ** SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!!!!!!! ** If you do not have money to buy the car... or if you have no intensions to even pay for the car, please do not bid. I WILL turn you in to eBay as a non-paying bidder. ** I am very easy to work with but I ask that you pay for the car IN FULL within 10 days after the auction has ended. I have room on my property, so if you need extra time to schedule deliver/pick up, I am perfectly fine with that... as long as the car is paid for in full. I will not charge a storage fee. ** A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 3 days after the auction has ended. I will accept Paypal or payment through the mail for the deposit. I will not accept Paypal for the remaining balance unless you do not mind paying the 3% fee that I will be charged. ** All payments must be paid in full and must clear my bank before I will release the vehicle for delivery. ** Please to not show up on a Sunday afternoon and expect to pick up the car with a handwritten personal check. That will not work. Feel free to contact me with with any questions. Thank you for looking at my auction!! |

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
Stellantis launching at least 25 EVs for America by 2030
Tue, Mar 1 2022Stellantis has announced a wide-ranging plan for the company through 2030 covering everything from product to financials. The product plans are what really caught our attention, particularly for the surprise reveal of the first electric Jeep, as well as new teasers of the electric Ram 1500. But the company also provided more broad details on what we'll be seeing in the future including both electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. All of the plans are in service of the Stellantis goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2038. On that way, it plans for all European vehicle sales and half of all American sales to be electric by 2030. It will launch 75 new electric vehicles by that year, and at least 25 of them will be coming to the U.S. The first of those electric cars will be the aforementioned Jeep in 2023, but many Stellantis models will follow close behind. The electric Ram ProMaster will launch in 2023 as well. In 2024, we'll see the electric Ram (and its plug-in hybrid counterpart), two more Jeeps (an off-road model and a family-oriented model) and the Dodge electric muscle car. We'll get a preview of the Dodge with a concept this year. Then in 2025, Chrysler will launch its electric car, likely based on the Airflow concept. Stellantis has previously announced Chrysler will be fully electric by 2028, and it further announced that Alfa Romeo and Maserati will be fully electric by 2030. Stellantis is also working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, mainly for commercial use. For the U.S., it plans on offering a large, ProMaster-size hydrogen van in 2025. That year or a little later, it also has plans for a hydrogen heavy-duty pickup truck, presumably Ram 2500 and 3500. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares noted that among the benefits of hydrogen for large and commercial vehicles is being able to avoid compromising payload capacity, since hydrogen powertrains are lighter than giant batteries. Hydrogen filling times are quick relative to charging, too. The company will continue working on and offering advanced driver aids. This year it will offer hands-free cruise control like GM's Super Cruise and Ford's BlueCruise. In 2024, the company intends to introduce a system that is hands-free and won't require the driver to be watching it the entire time. The technology is being developed alongside BMW. These are, of course, broad plans, and they could change as time goes on. Expect more details as we get closer to individual product releases.
