Numbers Matching 1968 Charger Rt on 2040-cars
Riverdale, Georgia, United States
|
For sale is a numbers matching 1968 Charger RT. The photo with the white interior is how I received the car 6 months ago. Absolutely all original body panels (floors, trunk, doors, valance), minor surface rust on the under carriage, no holes or patches.original drive train (engine, transmission and rear end 3.23 sure grip). Original 4 wheel drum brakes (power). The interior was originally white. After purchasing different seat covers and door panels (upper and lower) it became obvious that all the white 'colors' would not match so I opted for black. That means the complete interior was replaced, including the console, dash, seat covers, door panels (upper and lower), arm rest and base, door handles, window cranks, steering wheel (power steering), carpet, seat belts and headliner (headliner comes with car, complete with bows but not yet installed). The car has new bumpers, bumper support brackets, side markers (front& back), LED tail lights, emblems, hood blinkers, 18' Magnum tires and wheels (or original 14"), trunk liner, headlights, windshield, windshield rubber, windshield chrome, rear window chrome, headlight bezels, antennae, radio, under dash wiring harness, battery, dynamat insulation.....the list goes on. You can check my eBay purchases over the last 6 months which total well over 10K spent on this car. Another 4K spent outside of eBay and an additional 6K on the paint. Of course this does not include the cost of the rust free, numbers matching, absolutely straight body 1968 RT. This car does not have a fender tag which can be ordered but does have a Tennessee title. I never registered the car since they do NOT issue titles in Georgia and would have kept the title I have. Also have new 68 Charger tailpipes and hangers which may or may not be installed by close of auction but will go with car.
The paint is 3 months old and has not been completely buffed out. There are flaws in the paint. nothing major but I believe in full disclosure. The original color of the car was burgundy. The new paint is a Dodge color, Wildberry Pearl. It is absolutely stunning. I tried to match the original burgundy as close as I could so I would not have to pull the engine to paint the engine compartment. The engine was rebuilt 5 years ago before the car was but in storage and started every 6-8 months by the previous owner. It runs great. I changed the carburetor to a period correct Carter. The wheels on the car are 18 inch but the original 14 inch magnum wheels can be substituted. The pictures speak for themselves. This car is not that pricey given the fact that it is an original numbers matching car. I've sold two XP cars that were no where near as nice for more than the reserve on this car. Please do not ask the reserve, as the auction will run its course. Only an unrestored, non numbers matching (or rolling) 68 RT will be considered as partial trade ( I have a 426 Hemi I need to find a home for). I am sure I have left out a lot of information so feel free to ask. |

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger
Sun, 23 Feb 2014When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
Fiat brand chief reassigned then resigns amid flagging sales
Tue, Oct 13 2015Jason Stoicevich was replaced as head of the Fiat brand in North America just the other day. He was immediately reassigned to another job within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. But according to Automotive News, Stoicevich quit the new job – and the company altogether – the very next day. The development comes amidst flagging sales for the Fiat brand in America. The introduction of the awkward-looking 500L multi-purpose vehicle has been largely regarded as a sales disaster in the US. Despite having just introduced the new 500X into the growing crossover market, and an overall upward trend across FCA group sales, the Fiat brand's figures have been dropping all year. While the Italian brand's volume has fluctuated from month to month compared to last year's sales, the number of cars its dealers sells on an average day has been firmly in decline. Fiat's downward trend reflects a general tendency in the market towards larger vehicles at the expense of smaller ones. However, the powers that be in Auburn Hills evidently felt that a change of leadership was in order, so it placed Dodge chief Tim Kuniskis in charge of all the company's mass-market passenger-car brands – namely Dodge, Chrysler, and Fiat – and moved Stoicevich to running the group's fleet and small-business operations. Stoicevich remained in charge of the company's California Business Center, but it seems as though he was as dissatisfied with the switch as his superiors were with the performance of the brand over which he presided, and so he apparently elected to step down and leave the company.
