1966 Dodge Dart Gt Convertible Numbers Matching V8, Most Restoration Done! on 2040-cars

Year:1966 Mileage:97000
Location:

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Original #s matching 273 V8, original #s matching automatic in the console professionally rebuilt ($1,100.), bodywork 90% done, original bucket seats professionally reupholstered ($900), runs and drives great, easy to finish restoration of a real (Not a clone!) rare numbers matching 1966 DART GT V8 Convertible!

Car was originally yellow, now in black primer; see photos of restoration in progress.

This car had factory undercoating and/or rustproofing treatment when new, much of which remains.

This car runs and drives beautifully; the numbers matching 273 V8 purrs beautifully. 
The original numbers matching Torqueflite automatic transmission was just rebuilt.
New muffler, new battery, good brakes, shocks, frame, undercarriage, etc.

97,000 actual miles!

Most of the bodywork has been done (over $3,000 spent on body), only minor dents and finishing details remain.
Original seats have been professionally reupholstered ($900). Needs carpet and interior detail work.  

Convertible top works good manually, is serviceable, but needs to be replaced to complete the restoration properly.

Tires have good tread, but are older.  I would recommend replacing them before you drive home.  I drive this car locally but would not trust the tires on the Interstates.  Of course, if you're trailering it home, you can replace them later.

I have owned this car for many years.  I simply do not have the money to complete the restoration now. 
My loss is your gain!

When the restoration is finished, this car could easily be a $30,000 car at a collector car auction, etc.  Here is an opportunity for someone to finish the job and make a very good profit, or finish it and just enjoy this beautiful rare Mopar!  You could even drive it like it is and restore it gradually while you are driving it!

The title is clear, in my name, so transfer of title is easy and trouble-free.

$500 deposit within 24 hours, balance in 7 days in cash, or verifiable Cashier's Check, or bank-to-bank transfer.

Pick up or Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.   Delivery is available at $1 per mile, within a reasonable distance, if the car is paid for in advance.

Thank you for looking, bidding on and buying my car!  The winning bidder will get quite a nice, rare bargain here!

John Schneider's General Lee Dodge Charger up for auction

Thu, Jun 25 2015

Over 150 years after it was first adopted, the Confederate flag is disappearing from license plates, state-legislature flagpoles, and even toy cars across the American South. While some are ready to bury those Stars and Bars forever as a symbol of racism and slavery, others will miss them as an emblem of freedom. Regardless of where you stand, the emergence of this particular vehicle on the auction block couldn't have come at a more poignant time. It's a 1969 Dodge Charger, and as you can see it's been done up just like the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard. While it may not be one of the cars used in the original television series, it's not without its provenance. The vehicle is the last of four that were customized by John Schneider, the actor who – long after the rebel flag ceases to fly – will forever be remembered for his portrayal of Bo Duke on that timeless television show. It's painted orange, emblazoned with the number 01 on the doors, the words "Bo's General Lee" above each window, and that controversial flag on the roof. It also features signatures and messages inscribed by Schneider, as well as by Sonny Shroyer (who played Deputy Enos Strate on the show), and by sportscaster and former pro basketball player Jalen Rose who once owned the car. It appeared alongside Schneider in commercials and films, and in the pages of the Mopar Collector's Guide. Now it's set to be sold off to the highest bidder this weekend by Invaluable Auctions and Julien's Auctions, where it's expected to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000 – assuming the latest controversies don't hinder its chances.

FCA recalling 63k Jeeps, Vipers and Ram ProMaster City vans

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced a pair of recalls cover nearly 63,000 vehicles. The bigger of the two actions covers manual-transmission-equipped vehicles from 2006, including the Jeep Liberty and Wrangler, as well as the Dodge Viper. FCA engineers uncovered that the clutch ignition interlock switches use a kind of wire that was part of a previous recall campaign. Because of this, the company said that affected vehicles may not start, although in rare cases, "if recommended starting procedures are not followed," the affected vehicles may lurch forward after turning the key. Those recommended starting procedures "include activating the parking brake, placing the shift lever in neutral and pressing the clutch pedal before turning the vehicle's ignition key." Recall number two affects the company's 2015 Ram ProMaster City cargo and passenger vans. Owners will need to report to dealers to have a piece of tape removed from the side-curtain airbags. The tape is added during assembly and in some cases, may not have been removed. That could prevent the airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. Just under 59,000 vehicles are included in the first recall, including 43,874 in the United States, 11,309 outside of North America, 2,944 in Canada and 706 in Mexico. The ProMaster City recall includes just over 3,900 vehicles. FCA claims it's unaware of any injuries, fatalities or accidents related to either recall and will perform repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official press release on both campaigns. Related Video: Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch April 23, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary recall of an estimated 43,874 older-model U.S.-market cars and SUVs equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers that discovered these vehicles are equipped with switches that contain a certain type of wire implicated in a previous campaign. The wire, which was temporarily substituted by a supplier for the specified material, may break. As a result, the vehicles may not start, and in rare cases – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – a vehicle may exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. FCA US is unaware of aware of any related injuries or accidents involving this population of vehicles.

Watch dual-engined Dodge SRT4 do a FWD burnout, a RWD burnout, then AWD launch

Wed, Dec 3 2014

There's something fantastically insane about racers who go out on their own and build something unique. Just take this crazy video from last year of a twin-engine Dodge SRT4 at a drag strip that can burn the rubber at either end – or both ends – at a moment's notice. With tires sticking out way past the fenders, a massive cooling system at the front and no back window to speak of, this Dodge is clearly meant solely for speed. Though it's real party trick is being able to spin the front or rear wheels independently. The setup makes for three quite showy burnouts. When it came time to actually get down the track, things got somewhat awkward. Like other twin-engine creations we've seen, the separate powertrains make for some odd sounds and a weird look launching down the strip. Still, there's no doubt that the engineering behind this Frankenstein is very impressive. Scroll down to see this monster in action and another of it in a very mismatched race last year.
