What we have for sale today is a rare piece of American Iron that was not considered part of the muscle car era, but really should be. This year is the only year that the Dart was a "B" body. I am selling this car for one of my customers. We performed quite a bit of work on the car but did not do the initial restoration. We are "KC's Classic Cars" in Bradenton, Florida and the restoration was done by "Mopars by Crane" in Bradenton, Florida in 2004. I have all of the restoration paperwork and our work orders over the years. There were 1962 Dodge's built with the 413 Max Wedge in the 2 door hardtop version and we think there may be one version in a convertible showing in a museum, from what the owner was told. He wanted to replicate that car and he achieved it with great success. I have lots of photos on our Facebook page: "KC's Classics" and please feel free to call us at any time (941-747-1800) or e-mail (buildkc@aol.com) to ask us any questions about the Dart. Mike (the owner) keeps her at our shop and cannot drive the car any longer. I could photo/video anything in question. I have tried to show any blemish in the paint. The hood does have a crack (1 inch long) in the paint (see photo) from where I think someone closed the hood on something. That looks like the only flaw that I see. All of the chrome looks good, with exception of the rear bumper (see photo) part of the chrome has rubbed through, and the rest of the chrome on the car just needs to be waxed. The other item is that the gas gauge does not work. The sending unit works fine (we checked it out). The gauge itself is not working. Everything else works, including the power top.

The specs on the engine, transmission, etc. is as follows:

1) 440 ci .030 = 446 ci

2) Forged steel crank 10/10

3) Cam-Hughes HEH4650BL, lobe lift .379 int, .384 exh, valve lift .606 int, .614 exh, duration 246 deg int, 250 deg exh @.050

4) Heads Casting Number 2406518, New Max Wedge Heads 5249824 valve size 214 intake, 181 exhaust, stainless

5) Pistons- TRW Speed Pro Forged # 2355F .030, Rings- Seal Power E424K .030, all balanced internally

6) 435 Stock Rods- reconditioned

7) 1.6 Roller Rockers, Hughes

8) Hold Downs, Hughes

9) Push Rods Custom Made, Hughes

10) Aluminum water pump and housing

11) Valve springs, Hughes # 1106

12) Mallory Unilite Distributor with cap and rotor

22) Transmission cooler

23) Rebuilt 3:55 posi unit

24) Torsion bars

25) Heavy duty frame connectors

26) Balanced driveline

27) Max Wedge ceramic coated exhaust manifolds, 3 chamber Delta-Flow Flowmasters Series 50 mufflers

28) Cragar SS 15x8 rears with spinner knock offs

29) Cragar SS 15x7 fronts with spinner knock offs

30) BFG T/A 275/50/15 rears

31) BFG T/A 225/60/15 fronts

32) Interior was all restored with added gauges

When Mike originally bought the Dart, it had 30,596 miles on it and was told they were correct. There was very little rust on the car that had to be addressed (floor pans).

So bid with confidence for an awesome piece of Americana and go cruising with the top down and trust me, when you open the hood at the car shows, jaws will drop when they see what is in there. Even when driving down the road I am constantly asked what year and make the car is. That's how rare they are! Gas mileage is not bad when cruising along on the highway! But this is not a daily driver, is it?

There is no warranty implied by us, KC's Classic Cars (we are not a dealer). We restore classic cars. We are helping our customer with the process. Check us out at kcsclassiccars.com. You are responsible for the pick up and delivery of the car. Please ask questions if you have any.

This is an auction and I will have a reserve. Please don't ask what the reserve is! This is a legal and binding auction, if you don't have the funds to bid, please don't waste anybody's time, especially mine. At the end of the auction the winning bidder will have 48 hours to put $500 into my Pay Pal account and the make arrangements to pay the balance and pick up the car. Thank you for bidding!

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.

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. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Headliner Fires Date Investigation Opened: MAY 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: RQ15003 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , INTERIOR LIGHTING Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: On July 1st, 2014 Chrysler (FCA US LLC) issued safety recall 14V-391 to remedy a wiring-related fire hazard on the headliner of approximately 661,888 model year (MY) 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured between January 5, 2010 and December 11, 2013. 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.

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles

Fri, Dec 7 2018

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is tapping executives from Amazon and Shell Oil Company with previous automotive industry experience to fill its ranks. CEO Mike Manley said in a letter to employees Thursday that Mark Stewart would join FCA as chief operating officer of North America from Amazon, "a company known for its culture of innovation, and obsession with delivering incredible value to customers." At Amazon, Stewart led teams focused on advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and automation methods. He previously was COO of ZF TRW automotive components supplier. Niel Golightly was named head of global communications. He was most recently Shell's vice president for external relations in North and South America, with a focus on reputation, brand and stakeholder engagement beyond communication strategies. He previously held roles at Ford Motor Company. Related Video: Image Credit: REUTERS/Rebecca Cook Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM FCA Amazon shell Mike Manley
