1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer on 2040-cars
Springfield, Oregon, United States
Here's a car you don't see too often... a 1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer, 2-dr H/T. It is almost complete, but still a project. Here is the description: BODY: very straight, some patches of surface rust here and there. There is a small area under each tail light unit with some holes, as shown in close-up. All the trim is there, with the exception of the LANCER script on each front fender, and the DODGE script on hood. Some other trim pieces that don't appear in photos are in the trunk. The antenna is gone, though. This is a really solid car, in it's original gold & white 2-tone colors. One tail light needs a red lens - it has 2 clear ones. Chrome on front grill pieces is excellent. Bumpers are straight but OK, and need re-chromed. GLASS: Driver's side window is cracked, and windshield has some delaminating going on one side (see close-up) ENGINE: This V8 Red Ram is a 315 ci poly motor. It came from a '56 Dodge Royal donor car - it ran great when it was installed 3 years ago. Still needs linkage hooked up. Radiator has been rebuilt. I'm not sure about tranny, but the donor cars was a driver, so I'm sure it is OK. TIRES: they hold air - that's about it. INTERIOR: It needs totally redone. The original seat covers are still on seats. Door panels are good for patterns only. All door handles & window cranks are in a box. Dash looks pretty good too. I have 3 complete extra dashes, so if you need a part, I have it most likely. Floors have been patched; drivers side has new piece welded in, and the floor is covered in what looks like fiberglass painted silver...not sure what that process was. But it feels solid. No headliner, but bows are in trunk. Trunk has one area of rust holes on left, as shown in close-up. The bottom of the spare tire well is even solid! This would make a really great project - it's all there and solid. Unfortunately there is no title to this car. It has Oregon license plates from 1956, ( 8E 1233) and the DMV shows nothing on record; it's been out of the loop a long time. I will provide Bill of Sale. Arranging transport is buyer's responsibility, but I will help on this end, such as towing it to a pick-up area. Any questions feel free to call or email me: (Terry) 541-726-8467 eves PST Good luck bidding! You won't be disappointed.... PS Several photos did not load properly; I can email them upon request

How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats
Wed, 10 Sep 2014We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.
2015 Dodge Challenger crash test results slip from last year's model
Mon, Dec 22 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released the results of its latest round of crash testing, announcing that the 2015 Dodge Challenger has netted a five-star overall crash rating. Of course, Chrysler won't want us to tell you this, but that NHTSA overall rating is not the whole story here. As The Car Connection so astutely points out, five-star rating aside, the refreshed 2015 Challenger actually performed worse than when it was tested back in 2013. The V6-powered SXT model tested by NHTSA in this latest round of testing was only able to record a four-star rating in its frontal crash test, while it nailed a five-star rating in the side-impact test. The 2013 Challenger managed a five-star rating in the frontal test. Of course, while this rating is a sign of overall good news for Challenger fans, the car, as TCC argues, has yet to be tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It'll be interesting to see if these NHTSA ratings translate to an IIHS Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick Plus. Scroll down for the full press release from FCA. All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger Earns Five-Star Overall Safety Rating From U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2015 Dodge Challenger coupe earns five stars overall, the highest possible score in NHTSA's safety rating program More than 70 safety and security features, including new for 2015 class-exclusive Forward Collision Warning, adaptive cruise control, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection All-new 2015 Dodge Challenger starts at $26,995 (excluding tax, destination and title) December 18, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Five stars is the highest possible safety rating given by NHTSA. "The new Dodge Challenger coupe further demonstrates our commitment to broaden the proliferation of advanced safety technologies, such as driver-assist features," says Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President-Vehicle Safety and Regulatory, FCA-North America. In its assessment of the new Challenger, NHTSA notes the availability of Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which features forward-facing sensors programmed to detect the potential for certain types of frontal collisions. If detected, the driver is alerted with visual and audible warnings. The 2015 Dodge Challenger is the only car in its segment with such capability.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns
Thu, 16 Oct 2014Fiat 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.
