Howdy,
I'm selling my 1969 Charger. Somewhat begrudgingly. I love the car, I'm just not driving it that much lately. And you'll notice a pic of a 1969 Coronet. I figured I should bankroll another project. Anyhow, Here's a little description for you. I bought this car 6 years ago. When I bought it the body had just received a frame off restoration with fresh paint. It had a brand new TCI 727 Sizzler transmission and a freshly rebuilt bored out 30 over 383. None of this had been assembled. There was no interior in the car, no body trim, no vinyl top, and some nasty old 72 rims. I put the car together and did the entire interior. The vinyl top I had professionally done. As you can see from the pics the car is beautiful and I assure you in runs very well. Brakes, suspension, and bushings were all new at time of restoration. They are all in great condition. I used to live in rural Oregon and regularly drove the car on weekends along those beatiful highways where few people go. This is where the car belongs. It wants to run. It's not tuned for stop and go traffic. Since moving to the Bay Area a couple of years ago, dealing with traffic all the time, I just don't feel like driving in my off time and would feel terrible subjecting such a beauty to nasty Bay Area commute traffic. Hence the sell. The rims are excellent condition 71 rallys. I had debated mags but I had these and I decided I really liked them once I put them on. They are real metal hubs with new trim rings. The tires are barely used BF Goodrich radial T/As. Honestly the car has all of 3000 miles on it since restoration. All of the gauges and lights work except the turn signal indicators on the front hood. A couple of the gauges read a little off. The fuel is empty when it reads a quarter full and the needle is buried when you fill it. Things like that. The vacume headlight doors work great. The radio does not work. The undercarriage is immaculate and I plan on including a couple of pics to show that soon. There is no rust on this car at all. There are however a couple of small body issues. Two driver side door dings. And I believe a tire of a large pickup rubbed at the juncture or the driver door and front fender. The car was stored inside for all but 5 months since I've had it. Unfortunately I was out of town for a couple of months when a storm hit and water got under the car cover. It formed a bunch of little bubbles on the horizontal surfaces. These are tiny and unnoticable from 5 feet away. I included a pic of the one bubble I opened up to see if there was any undercoat damage. There is not. This is strictly a surface coat issue. It happened 5 years ago and there has been no change. Another unusual feature of this car. It is registered as a 68 Charger. I am not entirely sure why. If you know your Chargers you can see that there is nothing that is not 1969 about this car except for the engine color. It may be that that the fellow I bought it from had two bad Chargers and made one good one. I don't know. $1000 to be paid within 24hrs of completion of auction. The balance will need to clear before I turn over the title. I accept Paypal, Cashiers Check, Money Order, or Cash. The reserve is upper mid 20's. The vehicle will need to be picked up within 3 weeks of payment. I am happy to meet a shipper for pickup. Email if you have any questions. Thanks for reading!

Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

Aficionauto drives Vin Diesel's fast and furious 1970 Dodge Charger
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The Aficionauto host Christopher Rutkowski has a real passion for original and replica cars from movies and television, whether they are from James Bond, Jurassic Park, or incredibly obscure Japanese shows. However, he might have outdone himself this time because he hopped into one of the biggest automotive stars of contemporary cinema. This 1970 Dodge Charger appeared in Fast & Furious and came back in Fast Five, where Paul Walker actually drove it. The menacing, black muscle car will make its return to the franchise in the seventh film, too.
The Fast and Furious Charger is a real beast no matter how you look at it. The interior is nothing more than two seats and a roll cage, and as the video shows, this thing vibrates constantly like a coiled mass of muscle ready to strike. The camera can barely stay in place most of the time. Also, Dom's Dodge is more than happy to do a smoky burnout and leave the driver partially deaf afterward from its wonderful, ear-splitting engine roar.
The Aficionauto also interviews the man who controls the keys to this beast. Bob Hartwig was once an F-15 pilot, but he also loved Hollywood vehicles. Now, he's a partner at Picture Car Warehouse, a company with about 850 cars that supplies vehicles to film studios. This Charger definitely seems to be Hartwig's favorite in the collection, as it should be.
Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013To be honest, we're surprised something like this didn't pop up sooner. Chrysler is riffing on gift registries for couples getting married or expecting babies and cross-pollinating it with a social media funding website like Kickstarter to help customers buy its 2013 Dodge Dart. The Dodge Dart Registry allows people to build and customize a new Dart exactly how they want it, then let other people purchase some or all of the components as gifts.
The registry lets you add features like dark headlights, dual exhaust, various wheels and even interior options without choosing a specific trim level. This sounds a lot like the system Scion uses to let its customers configure cars, and this could be a great idea for Dodge. Of course, this system has the added benefit of being a social media affair for you to share with your friends... you know, so they can help pay for some of the parts, too.
The best thing about the registry is that you can configure your dream Dart from the comfort of your home computer, which strikes us as much better than walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond for the better part of an afternoon with an electronic scanner. The one thing that Dodge doesn't offer? "Thank You" cards. Those are on you.
