1971 Dodge Demon

This car is in the greater Los Angeles area and must be local pickup only.

This auction has NO RESERVE PRICE


This listing is for a 1971 dodge demon project car. I have owned this car since 1993. It was originally a 6 cylinder car that was converted to a v8 by the previous owner. In 2001 I completely disassembled the car down to the unibody with intentions to do a ground up restomod restoration. Of course, life doesn't always work out how you plan it to, so it has sat in the garage, untouched for 13 years. This car was fully functional, and one hell of a fast, fun car up until the day she came apart. The only parts for the car that I no longer have are both front fenders, the front valance and the front bumper, as my intention was to install a flip up fiberglass front end on the car. The missing pieces were sold years ago to ease in storage. The hood on the car is originally from a 340 car and has the functional dual scoops. I have a 318 v8 with big valve 360 heads that is currently disassembled, but complete and in need of freshening. A brand new, never run, TCI street fighter 727 trans. 8 3/4 rear end with 3.91 gears. A set of superstock leaf springs from mopar perf. that were never installed. A complete interior with front bucket seats in black velour and rear bench is in excellent condition. All interior panels are in good condition. All glass is in excellent condition. no carpet kit or headliner included. The rallye dash that was in the car has been modified to fit a modern stereo and was painted black. It will be included, but is rough. I also have an original floor shift center console that I didn't use in the car, but is complete. The car is manual brake/manual steering and has 4 wheel drum brakes with the small 5X4 bolt pattern. I have a set of small bolt pattern rallye wheels for it that are 80% complete. There is very little rust on this car, just a small spot on the bottom of the passenger quarter and a small spot above the firewall under the hood. slight surface rust in trunk well and driver floor pan, but very light and easily fixed. I drove, maintained, and loved this car for many years and hate to see it go, but life has forced my hand otherwise. Someone looking for an A-body project would be getting one hell of a solid car for their money. Hope that someone out there wants to take this bad boy and put it back out on the street doing burnouts where it belongs, and not locked up in a garage somewhere with the wheels off like I've had it for far too many years. All parts I have for this car will and MUST go with it to the winner of this auction. Including, but not limited to engine and all parts, brand new TCI trans, all interior, glass, and suspension parts. Most everything not attached to car is in labeled rubber bins. I bolted back on the front and rear suspensions, so car is currently a rolling chassis. Title is clear and car has been registered as non-op in California since 1999. Not willing to ship. This car is in the greater Los Angeles area and must be local pickup only.  I have described this car to the best of my ability at this time, but please feel free to message me through ebay with any other questions.

Will airbags sandbag the 2017 Dodge Viper?

Thu, Jan 14 2016

The Dodge Viper is speeding down the road to cancellation for the 2017 model year, and at least part of the reason for the V10 monster's death is a problem fitting it with federally mandated side curtain airbags. An anonymous source close to FCA US told Motor Trend the automaker can't install the parts because they would further limit the coupe's already tight headroom. The government believes the side curtain airbags can reduce occupant ejections during accidents, and all vehicles must have them for the 2017 model year. The Viper's slow sales also don't provide FCA US much motivation to work out a solution to this problem. The automaker moved just 676 of the handmade sports coupes in the US in 2015, which was down 11 percent from 760 deliveries in 2014. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne hinted at the Detroit Auto Show that the Viper could return eventually. He doesn't like that the current model has a dedicated platform but indicated a new one could share the underpinnings with another of the company's products. Marchionne's current business plan for FCA stresses building the automaker's value, so it might be a while before we see the sweater-clad CEO focusing on a niche vehicle like the Viper.

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Japan seems willing to embrace a level of automotive insanity that many other places lack. Whether it's 1,200-horsepower Nissan GT-Rs blasting through tight, tree-lined mountain roads or advertisements with dances for the Toyota Prius Plug-in, the country definitely has a unique way of expressing a love for autos. The D-Van Grand Prix might be one of our favorite examples yet of crazy Japanese car culture, because the annual, one-make race at the Ebisu Circuit is exclusively for heavily customized Dodge vans. Like many great things, this wonderfully crazy idea came from a little rule breaking. D-Van Grand Prix organizer Takuro Abe was at a track event for a motorcycle racing school, and vans were used to haul the bikes around. During lunch someone came up with the idea for a race. Ignoring that the big machines weren't actually allowed on the circuit, the drivers headed out. The popularity has just grown since then. These days, the racing vans absolutely aren't the stock machines from the event's inspiration. In addition to stripped interiors and track rubber that you might expect, the list of mods for them is a mile long. For every possible advantage, the racers fit them with things like Brembo brakes, cross-drilled rotors, heavy-duty transmissions, and much more. Seeing vans lumbering around the track is very weird at first, but the racers take the competition very seriously. These folks even employ all sorts of little tricks to coax the most from the machines. This is a fascinating motorsports story, but be sure to turn on the subtitles to understand the interviews with the competitors.

Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.
