Up for sale is my 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger. This is a low mileage (approximately 35,000), NEVER rusty survivor with one repaint. It was originally a 318/904/7.25 car. I bought it 100% stock. This is now a very fast street/strip car with an original style appearance. The weatherstripping is good, the doors don't sag, windows go up and down, etc. Paint is nice, shiny, not cracked. Not Barrett Jackson, but a LOT better than Maaco. Reserve price is lower than the cost of the parts!

The engine is a 5.9 Magnum disguised to look like an LA 360, 904 with transbrake, A body 8.75 rear end, Cal tracs and monoleafs, calvert shocks. It has been converted to the larger bolt pattern wheels (5*4.5) and front disk brakes from Stainless Steel Brakes. It has new fuel lines, new brake lines, new gas tank, new exhaust, new vinyl top and on and on and on. All the best stuff. 

This car has run a best time of 11.70 @ 113 on an 8" slick. Don't let that fool you though, this is not a pure race car, and it is a blast to drive on the street (it has mufflers and is not ridiculously loud). It is almost zero maintenance (hydraulic roller cam -not solid). It gets lots of attention at that shows and the track.

If racing is your thing, there is a ton of performance left in this car. It is tuned for street-strip and it is full wieght with the entire original interior.

Incomplete parts list:
Engine:
1999 5.9 Magnum engine.
Hughes Iron Ram heads (drilled for LA intakes)
RPM Air Gap intake
Mallory Electronic ignition (with two step, rev limit, spark retard, etc)
Kevko oil pan

Hooker Comp headers with Darkside ceramic coating.
TTI X-pipe with Ultraflow mufflers into dumps ( have TTI tailpipes also)

This engine made 332 rwhp on a Dynojet dyno.

Drivetrain:
904 Transmission
Basically every trick from the A&A catalog except it has a stock drum (I have over $2000 in parts in this transmission).
A&A manual transbrake valve body
Cast aluminum pan
AN fittings and B&M stacked plate cooler
Ultimate Converter Concepts 9” torque converter (Streetable 3500 stall) ($900 new)

This is not a cobbled together hack-work kids hot-rod car. This is a solid low mile original Mopar. The modifications are well thought out and expertly installed. Everything has been done to make the minimum impact on the car's originality. I have the original window sticker, and lots of other cool documentation. Two fender tags.

I have a photobucket gallery with more pics. For some reason, Ebay won't let me put the link in this listing, so please ask if interested.

I have a clear title in my name. The car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I will work with the buyer to physically get the car on a transport, but shipping is the buyer's responsibility. This is a no disappointments car, but I highly recommend checking it out in person - I am available for in-person appointments.

PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE CASH!

Please send me a message if you'd like to learn more. I can provide my phone number to interested buyers.

Thanks for looking!

ATTENTION BIDDERS:


Due to the actions of a few, I am forced to run this auction like a kindergarten class.

IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 FEEDBACK 
contact me BEFORE bidding. I will require your name, your phone number and will want to actually speak to you on the phone BEFORE you bid.  OR YOUR BID WILL BE DELETED. THERE WILL BE NO WARNINGS.

This is a real auction, by a real guy with a REAL car for sale. I will only deal with REAL bidders with REAL money. If you aren't willing to deal with that, don't bid. 

The reserve on this auction is $11,750, and it is worth every damn penny and then some. It is supposed to be $12,750, but for some reason it isn't. This is potentially lucky for a REAL buyer.

If you are thinking about bidding on this car and actually want it, this is your last chance. After all these games and garbage, this car will not be listed on Ebay again, ever. 

I am happy to talk to REAL buyers with REAL money. If you are not a REAL buyer with REAL money, don't waste my time.

FURTHER, if there is a real buyer out there who wins the auction, I highly recommend contacting me IMMEDIATELY after the end of this auction.

2015 Dodge Charger darts into NY traffic

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Meet the refreshed 2015 Dodge Charger; notice anything different? You would have to be pretty farsighted to miss the sedan's new Dart-like nose, and it's likely going to be quite polarizing to the car's fans. Gone are the previous furrowed, aggressive headlights in favor of a wider, friendlier look.
While the more rounded headlights and narrower grille are going to be the first thing most people notice, Dodge claims its designers have made changes to nearly every panel on the Charger. The hood dips down deeper at the front, and the doors show off a more angled version of the car's shoulder blister. LED running lights and taillights are standard on all models, and SXT and RT trims get LED foglights. Even though the front might not be as intimidating, Dodge has hung onto the sedan's muscular stance with angular contours making up the rest of the redesign.
Under the hood is the same engine range you've come to know over recent years. Both the 5.7-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 return for 2015, with the Hemi making 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, and the standard Pentestar outputting 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. All models are now equipped with Chrysler's TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic as standard. Fuel economy for V8 Chargers is predicted at 16 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, compared to 15 mpg / 25 mpg last year with a five-speed automatic. All models also come with electric power steering, and the axles are cast from aluminum to save weight.

Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Chrysler will shortly make a significant $266-million investment into its Kokomo, IN transmission factory in a bid to expand production of its eight-speed automatic transmissions. The gearboxes, which are built under license from Germany's ZF Friedrichshafen, have been well received by customers and critics, and according to an SEC filing obtained by Automotive News, the transmissions will eventually find their way to all of Chrysler's rear-drive offerings (Viper and heavy-duty Ram models, aside). According to AN, a Chrysler spokesman says the investment has not been confirmed, but once it is, it'll mark the company's latest in a growing line of investments at the facility. Chrysler has poured $1.5 billion into Kokomo since 2009.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
