Selling my 1968 Dodge Dart. This is a GREAT car, I love this thing! Very awesome muscle car, super fun with a great look. This isn't your grandmas Dart from the late 60's, this is one bad boy, flat black paint job with a rear red racing stripe lets it be known that this thing means business and it ain't afraid to get dirty! 

Equipped with a '70 block 318 V8 (pre smog set up) with an edelbrock performer intake manifold and a edelbrock 1405 600cfm 4 barrel carburetor, going out to long tube Heddman Headers connected to dual glasspak mufflers for that old school sound. 

It has the famous Mopar A-883 4-speed transmission, great strong tranny here with a hurst shifter, you can almost say this is where all the fun is ;) shifts great! 

The rear end is 8 1/4 3.55 sure grip, good streetable gear ratio, keeps your RPMs just under 3,000 while doing about 75 on the freeway, and with the sure grip your leaving 2 tire marks for your burnouts and doing some great donuts, no peg leg here! 

Front end of car was upgraded with the better suspension, k-member and DISC brakes of a 1973 Plymouth Duster. Giving you better handling, better braking, better k-member for V8s. Also has smooth feeling manual steering box out of the 73 Duster with the 73 steering column to go to the matching box. Drives great feels like power steering, won't even notice it's manual steering. All suspension was redone with the PST front end suspension kits and Moog. Has all new brake system, calipers, master cylinder, lines, etc... 
Rear end drum brakes were rebuilt and differential was gone through, the rear end is also out of a 73 Duster. 

Cool comfortable front buckets seats with head rest, new headliner, carpet... 
Mounted Tachometer, new electrical temp gauge and gas gauge (gives you good accurate readings) this car stays COOL!!! Never had an issue with this car overheating, not once!! Stays at a solid 160-170, NEVER MORE! Interior is decent, doesn't really look bad, could use a LITTLE love, but for a daily driver it's perfectly fine! 

Runs and drives great!! I'm estimating about 300 Hp from this 318. My favorite thing about this car is it starts up by the turn of a key after it's morning warm up. Just like a modern car, no gas pumping or holding, priming the carb with fuel, just simple turn the key and on.

This car was completely gone through front to back, so much of this car is brand new! This was my project car that was purchased about a year ago, and I worked on this thing day and night for countless hours, buying this car pretty much as a parts car and turning it into what you see today. 

Here are links to some videos of the car. First one is a great cruising video of having some fun in the car

Check out the links great videos, included in the sell I will include a list of parts in the vehicle (that's sometimes half the battle with an old car), photos of the resto. 

This is a great car, get in this thing and drive!! Car is registered, has insurance, and title on hand. 

Shipping can be made at buyers cost. Or local pick-up.

Dodge Charger and Challenger go Plum Crazy for Woodward Dream Cruise

Wed, Aug 12 2015

Dodge will be rolling through a purple haze at the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise on August 15 with the reintroduction of Plum Crazy to the color options on most trims of the 2016 Challenger and Charger. To premiere the latest use of the wild shade, the brand's display at the annual Detroit-area automotive event will be showing off violet versions of the 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack. The brash tone originally debuted in 1970, but Dodge has kept the lavender hue special in recent years by limiting the option to specific trims. It was last offered during the 2014 model year on R/T and SRT trims of the two vehicles. Practically any buyer will be able to go Plum Crazy if they want. On the Challenger, the color will be available on the SXT Plus, R/T models, Hemi Scat Pack Shaker, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat trims. The choices for the Charger will be similarly broad, including the SXT when ordered with 20-inch wheels, R/T versions, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat. Customers desperately wanting a vehicle in the insanely violet shade will be able to place the first orders in September, and dealers will get the chance from October through the end of the year. Production of the lavender muscle cars will then commence in November. Dodge Debuts Plum Crazy Heritage Hue for 2016 Challenger and Charger at Woodward Dream Cruise, Provides Collector-demanded Production Numbers for High-impact Paint Colors New 2016 Dodge Challenger 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker and Charger R/T Scat Pack Models in Plum Crazy Will Be Shown at the Dodge Display at 13 Mile and Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, Mich.

FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger

Wed, Oct 30 2019

Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.
