1969 Dodge Dart Gts 340 4 Speed Bucket Seat Console Factory Tach Hurst Shifter on 2040-cars
Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States
This is the same model car that was only rated (most say underrated insurance companies corrected it to 325 hp) at 275 horse but could run with or outrun the 350HP 350 corvette and run with the 383 Dart GTS in a straight line and outperform the 383 gts in corners! Here is a link providing more info about how incredible these cars really are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_LA_engine I have included pictures of everything I have for the car, so if there is a part that's not pictured Its likely I don't have it! That being said I believe the car is very complete. If there are any items you are concerned about, please call me or email me through ebay and I can help determine if there is something missing! This car is 99.99% rust free 1969 dart 340 gts 4 SPEED CAR with bucket seats console and factory tachometer. This is a very solid NEW MEXICO car . I purchased it from the second owner a month ago but due to financial reasons I cannot build it at this time. This car is very straight rust free and about the most solid old mopar I have seen in a long time. Body is straight (has had minor bodywork in 2 places small scrapes on drivers rear quarter maybe one size of silver dollar and the other even smaller. These have already been repaired. it has all the original sheet metal and has never showed any signs of rust. Frame rails, quarters fenders doors,truck pan and floor pans original solid and rust free. car has a tiny ding (about 1 cm dimple) by top body line just above and to left of gas filler hole, I showed it in the pictures. It also has a bend lower radiator support, looks like someone may have tried to tow it from radiator support or something, it may be able to be straightened but it will need a repair. Its a very easy repair to make, even for a novice!This car is very close to 100% complete, it needs some final sanding and then paint and re-assembly. THE 340 IN THE PICTURES IS NOT INCLUDE IN AUCTION BUT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO WINNER FOR $2900. IT IS COMPLETELY REBUILT PROFESSIONAL WITH MILD PORT WORK ON HEADS A 268 CAM AND EDELBROCK INTAKE (edelbrock name ground off intake painted orange for stock appearance). I have decoded all the options and they are listed below, this car has many desirable options!!! I HAVE MORE PICTURES OF CAR AND PARTS HERE http://s817.photobucket.com/user/ddodgeman03/library/dodge%20dart%20gts The parts that are on newspaper in pictures have already been refinished/painted and are ready for installation. I realize lighting in pictures was off on some, however if you need i can send more pictures so you can see how straight car really is. These cars bring over $30,000 or more easily when completed. I have had estimates of $1400 to $2200 for paint and final sanding etc to complete body. It has new interior still in box including seat foam that needs replacing and headliner. From what I can tell car is very complete and many parts have already been painted and reconditioned. It will need some Misc parts like vinyl top headlights and battery etc. I estimated car could be completed for about $3000-$4500 depending on who did paint and interior/vinyl top and how much work a the new owner wanted to tackle himself (this would be assuming winner bought engine available for $2900 to winning bidder). You could build this car enjoy then sell for a huge profit! As most people know its hard to get your money back out of most projects, but this car is so solid and complete it wont be a long costly painful restoration. I SEE SO MANY RUSTED OUT JUNK CARS SOLD TO PEOPLE LOOKING FOR PROJECTS. I WONDER IF THESE GUYS REALIZE HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO GET A RUSTED OUT JUNKER INTO THE KIND OF CONDITION THIS CAR IS IN? YOU COULD BUY A CHEAPER CAR THAT NEEDS TONS OF RUST REPAIR/BODY WORK AND PARTS, BUT IN THE END YOU WOULD SPEND WAY LESS TIME AND MONEY TO BUY A SOLID 99% COMPLETE PROJECT LIKE THIS. IT JUST MAKES SENSE! This car has a factory tach that mounts on the console. Tack is in very nice condition and has been checked out and verified to work by a local company that works on auto gauges. THESE TACHS ALONE CAN BRING $1100 ON EBAY!!! Tach is included with auction along with everything else shown in pictures EXCEPT THE ENGINE!!! If you are looking for a great muscle car to restore this is an easy project. Car was stored in dry storage in New Mexico for better part of 2 decades and it shows. The only rust is slight surface rust on a few surfaces, just hit quickly with sandpaper ans its gone! I invite you to inspect car and parts in person. Just call me at 505-203-3447 and we can arrange that! Don't spend tons of time and money scouring swap meets and the net for parts then tons more time doing lots of rust repair to frame and body, with this car you wont need to!!! This is a no reserve auction so bid to win, and remember REBUILT 340 ENGINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN AUCTION BUT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO WINNING BIDDER FOR AN ADDITIONAL $2900, WHICH JUST COVERS COST OF REBUILD AFTER CORE WAS PURCHASED! If you need car delivered that can be arranged but call me to make arrangements before you bid! I have a flatbed and can deliver for a reasonable price!

Dodge Grand Caravan to live in fleets through 2017
Mon, Jun 22 2015After a hard-working career of hauling around families for decades, the Dodge Grand Caravan name was set to retire in 2016 under FCA's five-year plan for the US. The decision would have put all of the automaker's focus behind the next-generation Chrysler Town & Country, but that original strategy might have changed. Now, Dodge's minivan may have to work just a few more years before it can finally shuffle off. There are set to be 2016 and 2017 model year examples of the current Grand Caravan, according to an internal FCA production document obtained by Automotive News. This report suggests no changes in the minivan between those two years, and there's no mention of the company's intentions deeper into the future. "While we've announced the Grand Caravan will eventually be the minivan that goes away, we're not going into more detail at this time," a Dodge spokesperson said to AN. For the next Town & Country, production would start in Windsor, Ontario, in late February 2016. This document also suggests a brief run of 2016 Chrysler minivans based on the current model from August 2015 until February 2016. Automotive News speculates that the reprieve for the Grand Caravan could allow that model to focus on fleets and the Canadian market while the new Town and Country gets up and running. The latest generation T&C will reportedly debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show and will possibly carry a higher price to befit a vehicle with a more modern platform and improved tech.
Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways
Sat, Feb 7 2015Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
