1970 Dodge Charger R/T Clone with a dual 4 barrels
Clear Texas Tittle Originally a 318 auto the car is now a 440 auto car with 2 four barrel carbs. This is a car we built several years ago and drove every day. Since my son went to work in Dallas it has set in my garage collecting dust. He wants to go to Law school so something has to give. This is a great opportunity to own a car that has not been rusted out or mis treated. This car was completely rebuilt in 2007 for daily driving. This is a great car. Most of the original sheet metal is there. Only the quarters and maybe the rear valance has been replaced. All original floor pans and trunk pan that have been under coated inside and out. It isn't perfect but the frame rails, floor pans and sheet metal all look good. All lights were working when it was parked, believe they still are. Head light doors open and close good. New rubber strip under the hood. New trunk weather strip, new door and body seal rubber replaced. Good windshield and glass with all new rubber. Some of the side glass has the usual scratches. The wheels are nice chrome, not aluminum, chrome with good tread on the tires. The drive train was completely gone through. Rebuilt 440 motor from a 70 dodge truck with new 10.5:1 pistons, bearings, purple shaft cam and Edelbrock dual 4 barrel carbs. Professionally rebuilt bored 30 over no expense spared. The transmission is a 727 rebuilt at a local shop with a good reputation. The rear end is a 489 with an eaton 3:55 posi. All new bearings brakes, etc. The exhaust is flow master 3" with 40's mufflers and competition headers. The suspension was completely rebuilt with energy suspension bushings. New ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm, stabilizer bushings, shocks and bearings. The steering was getting a little sloppy so we bought a new power steering gear box that is still setting in the trunk ready to install. The brakes are front disc from a 74 charger with good pads and rebuilt calipers, and new hoses.The rear brakes came from a 70 station wagon with the wider shoes. New engine and transmission mounts. 4 core radiator recored in 2007. Power brake booster from a 70 R/T, chrome alternator, new power steering pump. The interior has some minor tears in the drivers seat. We bought two new seat covers from year one and they are still in the box in the front seat. The rear seat still looks good. The carpets, dash pad, door panels, package tray, seal plates, arm rests, window cranks head liner etc. were replace in 2007. It has a TIC-TOC-TACH, and fLoor shift console. When I got in it and started it the fuel gage didn't work correctly. It came up some but not all the way when I filled it up. Don't know why, the sending unit was new in 2007, all other gauges work. Some of the dash lights are out but you can read the gauges. The stereo is awesome with a CD player and sub woofer in the trunk, and an electric antennae. All of the wiring was replaced with year one wiring harnesses. The paint was awesome but now has a few minor blemishes as would be expected now that its 6 years old. It really cleans up nice but has a couple of minor chips, and a small place on the hood where the clear is peeled. They are small and not visible if your moving, but if you want to take it to the show you will need to have them spiffed up. A friend in the business did the chrome on the bumpers for me and the chrome is deep and shiny. The remote mirror is original and needs chromed to look as nice as the bumpers. The stainless is good with a few minor digs that can be straightened. A lot of money was spent on this car. It was so much fun to drive but has been off the road since 2010 as you can see in the photos of the tag and sticker. I had to use a shot of ether to make it start after setting for months since it was last started. The carbs were sticky and it took a while for it to warm up. The brakes were a little squishy, not sure whats up there. May need bled or may just need driven. It wouldn't take much at all to have it road worthy. Keep in mind we drove the car into the garage and it has been started several times since, I did drive it to the gas station a few miles down the road to fill it up, but the tags went out in 2010 so it needs to be checked out and properly prepared before you take off down the highway. Not a lot of these left around so don't let this one get away. This car is not perfect and I know i missed a few things, so please look at the pictures and ask before you bid. Also this is a 43 year old car, so. There is NO warranty and it is sold as is and will need shipped or trailered since the tags and sticker are out and it has been setting. I will cancel bids from anyone with NO or BAD feed back unless you contact me first. I have heard all the scams don't waste our time. I will just report you and move on. This is not an option to buy it is a binding contract. There will be a $1000 Paypal deposit that is NON-REFUNDABLE due within 24 hrs from the time the auction ends. The remaining balance must be paid for in person with cash, or a certified check from your bank will need to clear my bank before the car will be released. If I am not contacted within 24 hours or the deposit is not made on time I will re-list the car. I will keep the car for 30 days from the end of auction or work with a shipper for a pick up date. If you need more storage time contact me in person and we can work out the details, however all payments must be made in the 30 day period. If I am here I will help load it and do my best to assist with loading it for shippers, BUT, ALL shipping is the buyers responsibility. I am not always here but it can be picked up at anytime if you call ahead a bit. I will have someone available to release the car and take your money. This is a nice car. Its not perfect but I have a reasonable reserve. Me and my sons drove this car ourselves for many years. Call me with questions or ask before you bid. Come see it if you are near enough. After the auction is too late to ask and I will not refund deposits because you forgot to ask your wife if you could have it. or its not what you wanted after all. I would like to maintain my good feedback so talk to me so this deal is good for everyone involved. Non-payers will be reported and will receive bad feedback as it costs me money when it sells. My number is 1-806-664-9778, Good Luck and Thank You for bidding. Corky. |

This or That: 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 vs. 2005 Subaru WRX STI [w/poll]
Thu, May 7 2015Some cars, due to ultimate desirability, particular rareness, or spectacular performance/prestige eventually become collectible. It's darn near impossible to know which ones will make it into the rarefied stratosphere of collectibility – why is a late 1960s AMC AMX so affordable these days, whereas prices for late '70s Pontiac Trans Ams are soaring? – but there are some useful indicators to keep tabs on. We're not exactly experts on investing, but we do know cars. As such, we've decided to take our non-expertise on one hand, combine it in the other with our knowledge of all things automotive, wad it up, throw it out and ask for your forgiveness. Or something like that. I've challenged Senior Editor Seyth Miersma to choose a car he thinks will become a future collector's item that's not more than 10 years old, and for no more than $25,000. I've done the same, and we vigorously argued for and against each other's picks. I feel good about my choice, but I don't have the best track record in these contests (I've lost three times, won twice, but they've all been pretty close), so, while I'm not going to beg (please vote for me!), I do hope you find my argument convincing. But first, let's hear from Seyth: Miersma: Ten-years old or newer makes this challenging. At that age most vehicles feel like a plain old used car to me, few hit the "classic" button. But the Subaru WRX STI has always been a special car, and the 2005 cutoff year proves to be very attractive for the parameters of our contest. It's rare; with fewer than 5,000 STI models sold that model year. It's probably the best looking WRX STI ever sold in America; narrowly avoiding the dreadful "horse collar" front fascia. And it's got one of the more die-hard car-geek followings out there. For $25,000, you can also still find examples that have reasonable miles, are in good condition, and haven't all been molested by grown-up Initial D wannabes. With the street racers hacking up collectable examples every day, I like my odds for steep appreciation by way of conservation. I couldn't agree more. It really is difficult to predict what cars will catch the eye of collectors, and the WRX STI seems like a pretty good choice. But I think mine is even better, and I can't let him know that I'd love to park just such an STI in my very own garage. And so goes my argument: Korzeniewski: I like your choice as a driver, Seyth. I'm less convinced of its status as a sure-fire collectible.
Dodge muscle cars, armored Jeep to star in Furious 7 [w/video]
Wed, Mar 11 2015We're less than a month away from the smorgasbord of speed, stunts and shooting that is Furious 7, and it arrives in theaters on April 3 as one of the first big films of the year. Starring Fast and Furious regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, plus Jason Statham as the big villain, this entry looks to be another exciting addition to the franchise. With such a major movie that features cars as much as the actors, it shouldn't be a surprise that an automaker is getting in on the action as a promotional partner. FCA US supplied nearly 30 vehicles for the film, including prominent roles for a 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger R/T and armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. To really play up the connection, the automaker has laid out a global advertising campaign featuring its models. The marketing includes a variety of unique spots with the cars appearing online and in music videos. Among them in the US is a TV ad called Flash to the Future (embedded below) for the Challenger. Hopefully, Furious 7 can live up to all its pre-release hype. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Dodge, Hyundai crowdsourced-funding sites deemed successes
Wed, 05 Jun 2013What's not to love about crowdsourcing? This idea, after all, has given us Kickstarter as well Local Motors, but automakers are starting to use the social platform to sell more cars (or just drum up a little PR). Both Dodge and Hyundai have used "crowd-funding" recently, and while Automotive News is reporting that neither has racked up big sales with this gimmick, both automakers are pleased with the attention.
For Hyundai, it teamed up with website Motozuma.com to help customers crowdsource money for a down payment, and the automaker matched this amount up to $500. Last year, this helped Hyundai sell an extra 1,600 units, a fraction of its total 2012 sales. That figure is far larger than Dodge fared with the Dodge Dart Registry - it netted only two sales and a small number of individual options. This registry did help University of Southern California fraternity crowdsource $18,000 to buy a Dart for a local Meals on Wheels, however. Despite the low sales figures, Dodge and Hyundai are considering their crowdsourcing programs a success since it helped them connect with younger buyers.
