Jackson, Mississippi, United States

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!! |

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card
Thu, Feb 16 2023Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot. CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
