 Up for auction is a 1952 Dodge Coronet 4 door sedan.  The car was last titled in 1985 with 22,000 miles on it.  It now has about 30,000.  The car has the Flathead 230ci engine with the Gyromatic transmission, or Tip Toe shift (Desoto).  The transmission works great.  The car drives smooth, but will not go over 35mph then it starts to backfire.  No. 4 intake valve is sticking.  Brakes are hard, and the master cylinder leaks occasionally, mainly when the car sets a while. Exhaust is amateur, NAPA glass pack, clamps, sounds cool, okay for daily driver. 

This car in in great condition for the age. IMO the condition of the body, and the interior are just amazing for a car this old, from Illinois! Some of the parts appear to be brand new.  I have to sell it because my daughter is getting braces, and the cash would be nice, but not nice enough to be low balled...Car for sale locally, reserve the right to end auction at any time.  Cash only sale!  Your bill of sale will be the title....plates come with the car.  They came off ebay.

The Great....
-excellent interior, nothing damaged or missing (besides front carpet).
-clock works, but is slow (correct twice a day)
-all original, you can still see the OEM stickers on some parts of the engine
-Decent set of used radials on the vehicle
-new fuel pump, oil pan was dropped and cleaned, newer battery, fuel tank cleaned and lined, carb rebuilt
-ROCK SOLID BODY!  This car sat a log time in a barn (still has hay under bumper), developed a nice patina.  Must have been a lot of cats around...
-clear Illinois title
The Not So Great...
-front fenders have typical sheet metal rust around headlights
-small amount of rust around rear fender/trunk area, passenger rear fender replaced (OEM) due to accident.
-dent on trunk hump
-No.4 cylinder has low compression 30.  All the rest are okay. 
-radiator weeps in some spots when it sets a while.  I have never seen it leak when up to temperature.
-heater controls are seized due to setting for years.
-exhaust manifold has a 1" crack.
-gas gauge does not work

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

2016 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcats see doubled production

Mon, Jul 27 2015

The launch of the Hellcat supercharged V8 in the Dodge Challenger and Charger for the 2015 model year was a massive success. The one-two punch of muscle cars probably grabbed the brand more headlines than it had seen in ages by offering a world-beating 707 horsepower from the growling engine under the hood. The only real wrench in the works was keeping up with all of the orders. For 2016, Dodge might have fixed that little problem with plans to make more than twice as many of these mean machines Despite production seeing a massive boost, a few customers with orders for 2015 examples will need to wait just a little longer to experience those 707 ponies. The automaker will cancel any unscheduled, sold orders for the current model, but those buyers will receive a discount on the 2016. Similar to last year, dealers will earn their allocation of the muscle cars based on Dodge sales and how long the Hellcats stay on their lots. There are some very tiny changes for any buyers who are holding out for the 2016 Hellcats, too. Mechanically, they are identical to the 2015s with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 and eight-speed automatic. The interiors see some improvements, though. Both the Challenger and Charger now receive standard Laguna Leather upholstery and an improved 8.4-inch Uconnect system with navigation, an HD radio, and five years of SiriusXM Travel Link and Traffic. Orders for both open in the second week of August, and production actually begins in September in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
