I recently took this car on as a partial trade for a motorcycle I was selling. I drove this car home from 4 hours away and had zero issues. I though it was a unique and cool car but I have too many cars as it is. So I am going to sell it. Here is what I know of this car:

GOOD STUFF:

1961 Dodge Dart Seneca

Factory Slant 6 225 ci

Pushbutton automatic transmission

The car starts right up with no smoke or issues. Runs strong! Transmission shifts strong and even kicks down strong in passing gear.

Runs and drives GREAT!

Handles wonderful with factory power steering. 

Floats like a Cadillac.

New water pump, tires, front wheel cylinder on drivers side bottom, hoses, fuel pump and bulbs.

All external lights work including tail, brake, turn signals, back ups and headlights HI/LO.

Cars charging system is working properly as well.

Speedometer, wipers and even the cigar lighter works.

Glass is all nice.

Trunk floor is pretty solid.

NOT SO GOOD STUFF:

Interior is rough. Seats are torn up under the covers. Door panels are rough. Windows all roll up and down with some assistance.

Body has had previous rust damage and dent repair. Bondo in various places throughout. Mainly right rear quarter panel is wavy and tail panel sculpted a bit but the car still looks decent from 20 feet or so. 

Structurally the car looks solid and sound however the rear floors have a few rust issues that could use a patch.

Brakes need a GOOD bleeding. The car stops fine but after a couple of pumps. No leaking lines or wheel cylinders just air needs bled out.

Thanks about it. The car is what it is. NOT a $5000-$10,000 car. 

Priced fair for a decent old car to have fun with.

Call for any specific questions or concerns: (812)631-9351

Thanks


LEGAL MUMBO JUMBO:

Car is old and sold "As Is" and "Where Is" obviously. No warranty expressed or implied.

Buyer is responsible for shipping the car but I will work with you on that in terms of storing the car awaiting shipping. It is not in my way and can sit here for a few weeks no problem.

I prefer cash and a hand shake, cashiers' checks or if you wish to pay the entire amount using Paypal, buyer is responsible for the 3% fees they make us pay.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango still catching fire after recall

Thu, May 7 2015

Automakers issue recalls all the time. It's part of the cost of doing business. We just assume that once the recall has been carried out, the problem in question has been fixed. But that's not always the case, as this latest investigation being undertaken by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration goes to show. The problem stems back to a recall issued by Chrysler last summer. It revolved rather the sun visor in the SUVs it makes at its Jefferson North Assembly Plant – specifically, the screw affixing the sun visor could end up rubbing against the wiring for the lamp in the vanity mirror, potentially causing an electrical short and even a fire. 62 such short circuits, 38 fires and three injuries reported, prompting Chrysler to recall nearly 900,000 units of the 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango (over 650,000 of them in the United States). The plastic spacers they installed to rectify the problem, however, may not have done the trick. Eight reports (but none involving injuries) have been filed with the NHTSA regarding the same issue recurring, spurring the government agency to open a new investigation into the matter. If deemed necessary, the NHTSA could ask FCA to issue another recall to fix the issue again, which we may necessitate the installation of a fuze to prevent any such the electric short.

The recall was in response to the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) investigation EA14-001 during which data provided by Chrysler indicates that the fire is caused by an electrical short in the vanity lamp wiring for either one of the sun visors mounted on the vehicle. The sun visors are mounted to the roof of the vehicle through the headliner with three metal screws.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
