This auction is for a true one of a kind "survivor" style 1968 Dodge Charger. This car is so original and untouched, it is unreal. It is also optioned to be a very unique car from the factory. It is the very rare and desirable Surf Turquoise Metallic LL1 exterior color without the commonly seen vinyl top and a tan interior of all things. The options this car has are air conditioning, power steering, am radio and the top of the food chain for non R/T Chargers, H code 383 4bbl engine. The car has manual drum brakes and column shift 727 Torquflite auto transmission and factory dog dish hubcaps.

The condition of this car is the other reason that this car is so unique. It has 93, 000 original miles on it and it is numbers matching from stem to stearn. Engine, Trans, fender tag, broadcast sheet and all body numbers are inline and match on this car. The paint is 100% all original everywhere and shines up very well. Te grill is perfect, the trim and pot metal pieces are in great shape. There is some sun fading on the roof though and the car does have it s share of parking lot dings and dents on both sides, but real damage. The only rust on the car is located on the lower right quarter panel and lower rear valance. The rust is pictured below. The framerails,floorpans, trunkpans and all other sheet metal is rust free. The interior has a perfect dash in it. The Am radio needs to be connected, but did test well ( It was removed when purchased and never connected in the car, just installed ). The headliner, sunvisors, upper door pads and door panels are in excellent original shape. The drivers seat, upper rear seat and carpets are ripped in areas, but they are original once. The headlights, signals dashlights and everything work correctly.

Drivability of the car is surprisingly good considering its originality. It has good power, doesnt burn any oil, trans shifts well, no front or rear end noises and brakes work well. There was a new fuel tank and sending unit installed after initial purchase sue to the original pieces being old and smelling like varnish. The car is wearing period correct 14 inch bias ply redline tires, so you do feel every inch of the road, but the look is worth it.

Overall, this car is a very nice example of what a 68 Charger would look like in 1973 if it were well maintained. A true time capsule.

I am listing this car for sale for my father. Any and all questions should be directed to him at (734)775-0738. His name is Steve.

Dont miss your chance at a true original 68 383 4 bbl Charger that is sure to make people jealous. They are only original once.

NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged

Fri, 23 May 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.
