1968 Dodge Charger R/T Real "J" Code 426 Hemi *** Rare AA1 Silver Paint *** Keisler/Tremec 5 Speed Same Owner for 14 Years Offered for sale is my 1968 Hemi Charger R/T. It is a REAL factory "J" Code Hemi Car and a REAL factory 4-speed car, 1 of 211 built. Rarer still is that it is a factory AA1 "Buffed Silver" paint car. I have owned this car for 14 years as part of my collection and it has always been stored in a heated/cooled/humidity controlled garage. This Hemi Charger R/T was featured in MOPAR MUSCLE Magazine in November 1997 and has owner history back to when it was ordered new. This car has been in The Charger Registry since 1989. Still wearing what I believe is it's only repaint applied by Totally Auto in '92-'93, this original 35k mile car's paint looks the way these cars did when they were new. Underneath you will find all the original factory undercoat still in outstanding condition and when you look inside the trunk, the original quarter panels & trunk floor are wearing the factory applied sound deadener and all the original pinch welds are clearly visible on the original body. Under the hood, the production # is stamped in the radiator core support (right next to the original 1968 Hemi radiator) and the left side of the trunk rail is also wearing its stamping. For many years I drove and enjoyed the car the way it was when I purchased it. Around 2011, I decided to begin making a few upgrades to the car so it could be better enjoyed. The undercarriage was completely rebuilt using all new urethane bushings, Moog suspension components as well as adding front disc brakes (original drum units were saved). The interior was in good condition, but I decided to refurbish the it as well as having Red Line Instruments rebuilt & refinish all the gauges, Secret Audio upgrade the original radio to AM/FM with more power and you can plug in your IPhone and play your favorite music. I added a new correct center console and had the original Inland Shifter lever re-chrome plated after modifying to fit the 5 speed. I have a complete new set of seat belts that I have not yet installed. As for the drivetrain, I had INDY CYLINDER HEAD build a bored & stroked 484 ci engine (1969 block) using a rare set of DART Pro Stock Aluminum heads that were custom machined and bench flow tested. I had everything under the hood finished to be as stock appearing as possible as I like the "as factory" appearance. Sporting a solid lifter cam, 3" TTI header/exhaust system, a 4.11 gear set (completely rebuilt by Herb McCandless), and a Tremec 5-speed by KEISLER Engineering, you have the best of all worlds.....The car is a beast in 1st thru 4th, then you have that wonderful 5th gear so you can drive it on the highway without all the fuss. Another recent upgrade was the addition of redline radial tires all the way around, 225-70-15 for the front and the 275-60-15 Nitto Drag Radials for the rear. I have all the "H" wheels for the car, though I had to add a set of 15x7 1972 "C" body wheels for the drag radials at the rear to fit properly. The Fender Tag decodes as follows:
This car is "turn the key and drive to California" ready. There are no issues to sort out. This is a rare car and it has been well cared for and collector maintained. It has all the upgrades that you dream about doing, but don't want to endure the time/expense/aggravation of doing. Feel free to email with questions or call 336-202-8762. |

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014
A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
Dodge recalls 121,603 examples of Dart for loss of brake assist
Fri, Dec 4 2015Dodge will recall 121,603 worldwide examples of the 2013-2014 Dart with the 2.0- and 2.4-liter engines because of possible loss of power brake assistance. The company reports two minor injuries and seven accidents potentially related to this problem. The affected models have build dates before Jan. 24, 2014. There are 105,458 of these vehicles in the US; 11,996 in Canada; 3,705 in Mexico; and 444 outside of NAFTA. This campaign doesn't affect Darts with the 1.4-liter engine. These vehicles' brake-booster vacuum tube routing can potentially allow oil to access and eventually to degrade the brake booster diaphragm. If this happens, then the vehicles could lose braking assist. The brakes themselves would continue to work, but the driver would experience longer stopping distances. A pop or similar sound of a vacuum leak sometimes precedes the problem, according to the automaker. Dealers will inspect the components and replace the vacuum tube. If technicians find oil in the tube, they'll also swap out the vacuum pump, brake booster, and master cylinder. Affected owners will receive notice from the company within the next 60 days. Statement: Vacuum-tube Assembly December 3, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 105,458 compact sedans in the U.S. to inspect and replace vacuum-tube assemblies and certain other components, as required. Some of the affected vehicles may be subject to oil migration that could affect their brake systems' power-assist feature. Foundation brake function is unaffected. However, if this condition occurs, the driver may notice hard pedal-feel on brake application, and longer distances may be required to stop the vehicle in emergency situations. An FCA US investigation identified certain model-year 2013-14 vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter engines, may have brake-booster vacuum-tube routing that inadvertently allows oil to reach the brake booster diaphragm, if ever the vacuum-pump check valve fails. Oil may degrade the diaphragm and lead to a loss of brake-assist – a feature that helps reduce stopping distances. FCA US is aware of two minor injuries and seven accidents that are or may be related to this condition. The recall is limited to model-year 2013-14 Dodge Dart sedans produced before Jan. 24, 2014. It also affects an estimated 11,996 cars in Canada; 3,705 in Mexico and 444 outside the NAFTA region. Vehicles equipped with 1.4-liter engines are excluded.
