1978 Dodge Charger SE. 3rd owner car! 88,406 miles on body. I was a professional Mechanic and Service Manager for 10 years, and I'm as close to a perfectionist as you can get. At 82,000 miles, I performed the following work to the car:
.040 over Jasper 360 short block engine
Lightly massaged factory Cylinder Heads
Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold, Carb, Cam, and Lifter kit
Headers and custom 3" stainless steel Exhaust.
Transmission rebuilt with mild Shift Kit installed.
Differential serviced.
New Power Steering Pump.
New master Cylinder.
New Radiator & Fan Clutch.
New Alternator.
New A/C Compressor & Expansion Valve w/134A refrigerant.
New Belts, Hoses, Ignition Wires, etc.
Virtually EVERYTHING under the hood was replaced! In addition, I have also replaced;
Shock Absorbers
Wheel Bearings
4 New Tires/Alignment
Inside, I have installed a Kenwood CD player/stereo w/4 new speakers, a small console tachometer, and a triple gauge set. The remainder of the interior you see in the pictures is all original, except the Rear View Mirror and the console cover which needed re-covering. There are no cracks in the original dash pad, and the interior is in great shape!
The car runs like new, and is driven weekly. I would hop in and drive this car ANYWHERE (and do)!
While a beautiful car and a great running classic, it is not perfect. I have not addressed any of the bodywork on the car yet. It was rust-proofed by the original selling dealer (it's everywhere!), but time does take it's toll on older cars of this age. Please look at the pictures. On the right side, there is some rust beginning to show through the lower fenderwells, and there are two spots directly below the vinyl top that have rusted through and will need attention. In addition, this car was ordered with the heavy sound insulation package. Unfortunately the trunk seal had failed, and the sound insulation saturated and began some rust in the trunk. I removed the insulation upon buying the car, but the damage was done. The edges of the trunk lid have a little surface rust due to poor prep procedures from an old repair job. I don't believe the car has EVER been in a major accident, but the couple shades of Burgundy that are on it tells me it's had a few previous minor scrapes.
The ONLY thing I could say that's not perfect about the engine is that apparently it's got a "lazy lifter". From time to time when started cold, one lifter will tick lightly until it pumps up. It's a minor issue, but one I have wanted to address. The interior will need a new headliner (it has been replaced, but is sagging), and there is a very small tear in the driver's seatback.
I have done my best to honestly represent what this car is (and isn't). While not perfect, it is still a beautiful example of Chrysler's Cordoba/Charger/Magnum body style, and far more rare than a Cordoba due to lower sales numbers. I do believe this to be a "one of one" optioned car, but I can not verify that fact. I have over $10,000.00 invested, and must sell immediately.
Please remember that your bid is a binding agreement to purchase. If you're not serious, don't place a bid! I am advertising this car locally, and reserve the right to cancel auction at any time. $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT is due within 24 hours of auction close. Remainder of payment MUST be made within one week, and vehicle must be picked up within 2 weeks. If you have any questions, please email me. I will answer any questions that I can. Thank you!

Chrysler's next-gen minivans will get more expensive
Mon, Feb 2 2015Chrysler introduced the value-oriented Great American Package on the base model Chrysler 300 in 2005. That morphed into the American Value Package available as an option on the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2012, which made it the lowest-priced minivan in the country, now with an MSRP of $21,395. Automotive News reports that Chrysler is going to kill the value package when the new Town & Country arrives for 2017, because the new platform and technology of the coming minivan make it "a difficult price point to get to." AN says the next-generation haulers will come in around $26,000 and can go beyond $45,000 with options; clicking every "Add" button we could find on the Town & Country build page, we couldn't get past $43,000 for today's model. That entry pricing in 2017 would eliminate the first three trims on the Dodge option, the American Value Package, the SE that starts at $24,195, and the SE Plus that starts at $24,995. This makes us think the next-generation haulers will take a sizable step upscale in terms of feel, content, and trim, a la the Chrysler 200. In this writer's opinion, if they do as good a job as they've been doing recently, the extra money will be worth it. There have been spy shots and a lot of rumors about it, like the Caravan minivan going away and becoming a crossover, but we'll see it revealed at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.

Watch a Dodge Viper driver show off his V10 all the way into a wall
Mon, Apr 11 2016Has there ever been a show-off video that doesn't end terribly? This video clip captured with a cellphone shows the driver of a neon green Viper GTS giving a fellow motorist a couple throttle blips to signify his intent – which seems to be to crash the Viper into a concrete wall as quickly as possible. It's not pretty. The mean machine seems to be a second-generation Viper GTS in Stryker Green. To our knowledge, no photos have surfaced of the aftermath, so we wish both the driver and their most-likely bruised ego a speedy recovery. Who knows, maybe the Viper is also salvageable.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
