1968 Dodge Charger 383 #'s Match 727 Auto 68 Solid Project 96k Original No Res!! on 2040-cars
Up for bids is my 1968 Dodge Charger. This car is pretty much original, never been cut up or molested. Still wears all it's original sheetmetal as far as i know. The car is triple green, and the engine is original to the car. 383 2 barrel, and is still in that configuration. The car had one respray in the 80's, and it's showing it's age. The car has sat mostly since the early 90's, and could made into a daily driver very easily, or could be a good resto project .While i did go on a 5 mile journey in it recently, and it actually drove really nice, the carb is a little tired and could stand a kit being put in it. The body is WAY better than most charger projects out there. It has a mint grill, mint hood, the fenders are very nice, no rust, one ding in front passenger as shown in pic. The doors are fantastic with no rust, as are the rockers. The quarters are 90% there, could get by with some patching. The driver's side back towards the bery back has some bondo fro a dent in it's past that was repaired. It's above the middle belt line, not down low. The tail panel and rear valance are in great shape, and these are normally nonexistant on a 46 year old charger. There is a small spot on one of the valance corners. The back window lower corner area that is prone to rust is pretty awesome on this car. The worst area on this car is the roof. There is quite a bit of pimpling under the original vinyl top, and if you are going to replace and put a new vinyl top, then the roof can be fixed and then a new top put on. If you are planning on a non vinyl top when redoing, it may warrant a skin. The trunk is good on the extensions, could use a center trunk pan. The floors are in great shape, as are frame rails front to back. There was one small rust spot by the gas pedal(driver's front) that was replaced with metal 20 years ago, otherwise floors are mint. Gas gauge and speedo work, oil and temp do not. Factory A/C car, not currently working. I do have the AM thumbwheel radio for the car. Interior is very presentable for a driver, could use carpet, upper dash pad and headliner. Fender tag is present as well as the build sheet. As you have read, this is an excellent hard to find solid unmolested project car that you can drive as you make better. These kinds of chargers are the hardest to find. People nowadays want $50k for a restored 383 charger, or they want 10k for rustbucket project cars. It's hard to find a good one that just needs some TLC. You will not find a better project car for the money. I am listing the car NO RESERVE so high bidder owns it. That being said, PLEASE SERIOUS bidders only. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time for any reason, as car is for sale locally. Please feel free to ask with any questions. I do have a clear Tennessee title in hand. Thanks for looking and good luck! |

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper
Sat, Jun 6 2015MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.
