I purchased car from family that purchased the car new in 1966. 

A great candidate for daily diver or restoration.  Car will need work before it can be driven.

I bought this car earlier this year in Arkansas.  It was a one family owned and unrestored.  The car is sold “as is” and is detailed with pictures and details below.

History

Car was originally bought in Virginia (see dealer tag on decklid).  That owner moved to Dallas in theMid-Seventies and drove the car until it was given to his Sister in the late-Seventies to early-Eighties.  The car was then passed on to the Son of the Sister of the original owner.  He drove the car throughout the eighties and nineties as a second car. He painted the car in its current color in the late eighties/early nineties and kept the car in running/drivable condition. He parked it sometime in the nineties and kept it garaged until he gave it to his step-son a few early ago. 

Current Condition 

Engine/Trans/Mechanicals: The car is as depicted in thepictures.  Car has over 140,000 miles on it.  Odometer stopped working according to last driver in mid-nineties just prior to the car being parked.  The car was not running when I got it, but after adjusting the points, cleaning the sparkplugs, correcting the spark plug firing order, fixing the accelerator pump in the carb, I was able toget the engine to run.  It runs fairly smooth, but I have no way to know its internal condition.  The transmission seems to be fine, and will move as necessary in forward/reverse.  I have not taken this car on the road.  Car charges and A/C system does not seem to function, but is charged and is underpressure with Freon.

Brakes:  Brakes needwork.

Tires:  Tires are over20 years old and need replacing

Exterior:  Speaking to the previous owner, the car was painted once around 20-25 years ago.  The paint job is poor.  There are a few spots where there are some rust bubbles coming through, but they are minimal based on the number or years ago this was painted.  These spots are all the traditional trouble areas with 1966 Dodge Chargers.  Additionally, it appears that the lower passenger Quarter panel had been repaired in the past and is cracking (see pic).  This is the worst exterior part of thecar.  The back window leaks, but does not appear to be rusted and the rear window trim is missing.  Also, the trunk is slightly rusted in two small areas.  I believe it would need twosmall patches to repair.   Floor pansappear to be solid.  However, I cannot guarantee what is under the paint, since there is no way to know withoutremoving the paint.  Glass is in goodshape with the exception of the Windshield (cracked).  All the exterior trim (except rear window) is intact with some minor denting.  Top passenger fender trim is heavily dented. Rotating headlights do not operate, but all parts appear to be intact (relays, limit switches and motors).

Interior: Electroluminescence works for all gauges.  Does not work for A/C, radio and shifter.  Speedometer, Tachometer and Gas Gauge do no tappear to function.   Seats, carpet and door panels are in fairly good shape. The passenger seat has a tear.

CAR HAS CLEAN TITLE AND SOLD “AS IS”

$500 deposit due within 24 hours via paypal.  Balance due within 7 days via cashier’scheck, cash or wire transfer.  Car needs to be picked up or shipping arranged within a few weeks.  I’d be happy to answer any questions or take additional pictures.

NHTSA probing Ram recall pace, communication

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it's looking into Chrysler Group's handling of a pair of recalls affecting roughly one million Ram pickup trucks. Reuters is reporting that the regulatory agency is focusing on the availability (or lack thereof) of parts and "poor communications" from the automaker in its investigation.
"Customers have been advised in accordance with the regulations governing recalls," Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne told Reuters via email. "We are continually replenishing our supply of replacement parts. Chrysler Group regrets any inconvenience our customers may have experienced."
NHTSA disagrees, arguing that the recalls, which affect 972,000 trucks from 2003 to 2012, are being delayed by the lack of parts.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

Watch the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat verify its 204-mph top speed

Thu, Jan 29 2015

The industry is producing some ridiculously fast four-doors these days, from the Porsche Panamera and Maserati Quattroporte to the Mercedes E63 AMG and BMW M5. But the fastest of them all doesn't cost six figures. It doesn't even come from Europe. It's made right here in North America, by a US automaker. And it starts at under $64k. We're talking about the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, the Pentastar muscle sedan with the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 and its 707 horsepower. Dodge claims it's the "quickest, fastest, most powerful [production] sedan ever," and they're not just blowing smoke... or smoking tires. During the final stages of development, engineers from Auburn Hills took a bone-stock, Hellcat-powered Charger out to a seven-mile oval for a top speed run and they filmed the occasion for posterity. The result? 206.9 miles per hour with the wind, 202.2 against it, for a two-way average top speed of 204.55 mph. Chew on that, imports.
