This Charger is an R/T clone car, originally a 318.  The car was brought here from New Mexico and sat in a warehouse for many years until I bought it 2 yrs ago.  The car had exceptionally little rust, but was hit in a couple places requiring the passenger side quarter to be replaced with a new AMD piece.  The left front fender was replaced with an original NOS fender as well as an NOS lower front valence.  It also appears to have had some quarter panel work done early on in it's life on the drivers side, probably from a fender bender.  


The entire car was sandblasted except outer body panels which were taken down to steel.  Everything was professionally repaired and refinished using quality products.  The car was painted professionally in a downdraft booth, and looks very nice.  This car is not a trailer queen, but a very very nice car you can actually drive and enjoy.  The chrome trim on the car was all excellent due to the western climate so it was cleaned up and retained.  The stainless trim was all hand polished on a professional buffing system.  The grill is near perfect, but I did put new outer trim on it due to the anodizing fading.  The bumpers are new AMD.  I do have new front bumperettes, which go with the car.  I just thought it looked cleaner without it.  

The drivetrain is out of an original 69 Charger 383 HP and runs and drives super.  It is all original and correct down to the carb, distributor, exhaust manifolds, etc.. It has a brand new radiator which looks stock but is not original.  Even though the air cleaner pie plate says 440 Magnum it is indeed a 383 Magnum.  I did not do a front end suspension kit on this car because it didn't need it, but it has been aligned and drives nice.  New fuel tank, fuel pump, water pump, dual exhaust, shocks, etc.

The interior is very nice with the unusual buddy seat in between the buckets vs the more commonly seen counsel.  The radio does not work and the radio plate really should be replaced, it is the only real defect on the interior.  I didn't spend the money because 90% of people install an aftermarket stereo anyway.  The carpet, headliner, rear package tray, drivers front armrest, seat foam and covers are new.  Everything else is OEM. Even though the lower dash pad has vents for A/C it is an original non A/C car which is very unusual coming from New Mexico.  The dash pads are out of another Charger and are perfect.   New windshield and gasket.  Remainder of glass is decent.  

In summary I would like to say that this Charger is a super nice car overall and I don't think anyone would be disappointed with it.  I am a detail freak and have sold a fair number of old Mopars that I have restored to many happy people who still own them today.  Bid with confidence.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit is ready to serve and protect

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Okay speed freaks, it's time to update your cheat sheet of police headlights, as Dodge has just unveiled the new 2015 Charger sedan's police variant, the Pursuit.
Like previous Charger Pursuits, the 2015 model is based on a modified version of the civilian sedan, featuring the same basic batch of mechanicals and sheetmetal, while adding a number of items specific to the five-oh.
For 2015, cops can select from the same 3.6-ltier V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 available to the civilian population, with former turning out 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and the latter packing 370 ponies and 390 lb-ft. Even loaded down with equipment, Dodge claims the Hemi-powered cop car can hit 60 miles per hour in under six seconds, while both engines are expected return 26 miles per gallon on the highway (thanks to the V8's four-cylinder mode). Rear-wheel drive is standard with both engines, while V8 Pursuits can be fitted with all-wheel drive.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.
