 Here we have a super nice survivor I actually found when I was out garage saling during a town-wide sale out in the country. The son of the original owner was selling due to his fathers death and mother not being able to drive anymore. It has never sat for any long period of time. It was periodically used to keep everything working well. I drove it home and it drove like a dream. The radial tires are excellent, the exhaust is quiet, it drives straight, brakes good, and it actually feels like a Cadillac compared to the older mopar musclecars I have. It's truly a most enjoyable ride. It is all original other then the rear lower quarters under the side trim were touched up. The son stated there was some lower surface rust his father didn't like and had a body shop do the minor repairs. The rest is all original FE5 rallye red. original vinyl top, original seat covers. carpeting, dash. trunk. engine compartment etc. When is the last time you saw a 2 dr 75 coronet, let alone in rallye red, with the original road wheels(on build sheet), and dual chromed remote racing mirrors(on build sheet). Odometer shows 61,000+ miles. The father had duct tape inside door recording his oil changes. Car came with power steering, power disc brakes, a/c, cruise control. road wheels, am radio, vinyl top, and the upgrade interior door panels and seats you get with being a Custom. This car even has the gas miser light alert on the left fender turn signal lamp. The gas crunch was big in mid 70's, so fuel mileage was important. The light will come on when you get on it or downshift indicating over consumption of fuel. It's really a neat thing for back in 75. All the guages work, runs cool, no overheating. All glass original with one rock chip on windshield behind the rear view mirror. Tires are not dry rotted and have NO sidewall cracks. Headliner, door panels excellent. Couple of small rub tears on drivers side front bench where you get in and out alot rubbing that edge. A/c all there buts needs charging. Engine compartment all original other than orange plug wires and one red heater hose. The 2 speed wiper motor works but the nut attaching them to the arms must be off(it looks tough to get to with a/c under dash). Alot of paperwork, including build sheet, dealer invoice showing he traded a 72 charger in, total cost, trade-in allowance, owners manual, etc. It's not a musclecar but I guarantee you will still get alot of attention at the cruises or car shows, just because its a survivor and something different. All I had to do was replace front disc brakes since I've had it.There is no rust out on the frame or under carriage. This is absolutely a drive home car. If its long distance I would bring a good spare tire or 2 to have piece of mind. Really don't know how old tires are. Car is still in original owners name with original 1975 small Illinois title. Ask all questions before bidding.  High bidder must sent $250 to my paypal account within 2 days after auction. Remaining balance due in cash at vehicle pick-up(with-in 7 days of end of auction). USA bidders only.

Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.

Will the Dodge Demon do a 10-second quarter-mile?

Fri, Apr 7 2017

The final teaser for the Dodge Demon is finally here, and it might just give us a clue as to how quick the new car really is. A brief glimpse at a time slip shows what might be a 10-second quarter-mile time. That's a significant step up from the standard Hellcat's 11.7 seconds, but considering all of the Demon's modifications, it's not an unreasonable time. The new video, "Judgment Day," shows the new Demon in its natural habitat, a quarter-mile drag strip. There isn't much new information, aside from the brief glimpse at a time slip. There is a good shot of the car in action and some nice audio from what we assume is a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi. For comparison, the new 2016 Chevrolet COPO Camaro is capable of a 10.7-second quarter-mile run, while the 2016 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet dips all the way down into the 8s. The full reveal is less than a week away. Look for more information, including the long-awaited horsepower rating, next week during our coverage of the 2017 New York Auto Show.

Dodge Viper ACR still can't quite capture Nurburgring record

Mon, Aug 28 2017

Dodge Viper production ended just a few weeks ago. So in an effort to go out with a bang, a crowdfunded effort sent a pair of new Viper ACRs to the Nurburgring in order to reclaim the production-car lap record. Despite its best efforts, the team failed to top the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's time of 6 minutes and 52 seconds. The Viper's best lap was 7 minutes and 3.45 seconds, leaving a seemingly insurmountable gap between it and the Lamborghini. This past week, the Vipers went out again. Unfortunately the new time of 7:3.23 only shaved a few tenths. Road & Track reports that the hot weather played a major factor into the car's performance. August is hot in Germany, and the northern part of the track had a recorded temperature of 111 degrees. This was killing tires and therefore grip. While Kumho has been kind enough to supply the team with tires, an endless supply of rubber doesn't help if they keep getting cooked. In two hours, the team managed just two hot laps, killing 16 tires in the process. It's not over. A return trip is in the works. The team believes it can slide under the 7 minute mark. Still, it looks like it's going to take some really ideal conditions to make it work. Either way, the Viper ACR is and will remain one of the fastest production cars ever built and something of the likes we'll never see again. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
