Front passenger seat correct but different material. Motor locked due to main bearing failure, probably due to some idiot forgetting the oil."

1978 Dodge Magnum GT, only 681 GT cars were produced in 1978.  This body style car was briefly used for NASCAR.  The body of this car is in excellent overall condition.  The only rust is some very small bubbles on lower right quarter panel, see pictures.  All floors are clean and have no rot.  This car has T-tops, hideaway headlights, a 400 motor, automatic transmission, and only 57,393 miles.  Appears to be original mileage judging by seats and brake petal.  Also, doors, hood, and trunk all open and close like new.  I purchased this car at an auction.  The motor appears to be rebuilt and there are lots of new parts under the hood.  However, the motor is locked due to main bearing failure.  Some idiot may have forgot to put oil in after the oil change.  Lower end of motor should be rebuildable.  I do have a 1978 440 out of a motor home with low mileage that can be purchased separately for $600.  I don't know the history of this car, just bought it to put on Ebay so some Dodge lover can put it back on the road.  The front passenger seat is correct but has different material than the rest of the seats, otherwise interior looks good.  I have broken down the VIN and fender tags.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers

Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...

Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.

It ain't easy keeping a Hellcat steady at 170 mph on ice

Mon, Mar 28 2016

The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat you see hit the ice at Arsunda Speed Weekend in Sweden, over two hours north of Stockholm. It's said to be bone stock, save for the studded tires that help it grip on ice. But it apparently takes more than some steel studs and a lead foot to keep it pointed the right way. Just look at how much driver Alx Danielsson has to saw at the wheel to keep the Hellcat from veering off course. Fortunately he seems to have the chops to do so, being not only a native of Sweden (and therefor imbued from birth with otherworldly abilities to drive on ice) but also having won the highly competitive Formula Renault 3.5 Series championship back in 2006. In the end Danielsson hit a top speed in excess of 170 miles per hour, touted as some sort of record, however unofficial (and specific to Dodge Challengers). That's a fair bit shy of the 205 mph that Bentley achieved in the Continental Supersports, but while that model had slightly less power than the Hellcat, it did have the benefit of all-wheel drive – something that could make all the difference in these kinds of slippery conditions.
