Up for auction is a classic 1965 Dodge Coronet 440 2 Door Hardtop in very decent restorable condition or drive it as a daily driver. This car is tan in color with mostly original paint that is in daily driver condition. The car has tan cloth interior with a stock original bench seat with some front to rear tears and a back seat that is original and does not have any tears. The pictures do not show the back seat as it was out for floor cleaning of normal trash when I took the pictures. Starting at the front, grill and bumper decent but not perfect, left front fender has some damage at the front corner with some minor dents, hood has one minor ding, minor dents on the left door and left quarter panel, roof looks perfect, all glass nice condition, deck lid has no dents, rear bumper has some dents, right door and quarter panel have several small dents, minimal dents on the right front fender, some rust etching in the right front floor area, no rust through, very little rust etching in left front floor area, no rust through, left rear floor area has no rust, and right rear has some rust etching but again nothing close to rust through. The trunk floor area has some moderate rust etching and I noticed a few pin holes when I had the gas tank out for cleaning. The trunk area has been completely treated with por-15 and looks just fine. This car was sitting for over 15 years and I had to clean out the fuel system (fuel tank clean and no rust inside) rebuild the carburetor, replace some fuel hoses, minor tune-up, new timing chain, new water pump, new radiator hoses, new thermostat, rodded out radiator, new freeze plugs, and new anti-freeze.318 V-8 engine has good compression, does not smoke, but does still idle kind of rough when cold. Probably my carb rebuild but no big deal on that. This car has had the automatic transmission oil and filter replaced and works very well. All rear end seals and fluid have been replaced. New master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, new brake shoes, and the drums have been machined. Car has good tires including a spare and jack assembly. All lights work, car has factory air conditioning which seems to work ok, has a remote type left side mirror, and has a stock radio that does not work. This car was originally a power window car but none of the windows worked so I converted it to nice working original type manual windows. The interior door panels are pretty rough and will need replacing as well as the rear package tray and the carpets. I do still have most all of the original power window parts and they are available if someone wants to convert this car back to power windows. I think I have covered most every thing I can think up and if there are any questions, feel free to ask or give me a call at 408-507-4362. This car is currently registered up to date in Calif. with a current non-op title. Thanks for looking.

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.
Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes
Wed, 05 Jun 2013What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
