Before I am asked... No, there is not a Buy it Now price. If you are interested in the car, please bid what you are willing to pay. The auction will run the full 7 days and will not end until Sunday evening (12-15-13). Thank you for understanding.
Now... Up for auction is your chance to own a very rare 1968 Dodge Charger. This isn't your regular run-of-the-mill Charger... this car is one of only 902 built in 1968 with a 225 cubic inch slant six engine and an automatic transmission. Originally, this car was white with a black vinyl top and red interior. I saved this car from someone who had plans of "fixing it up one day"... when in reality, the car would have just sat in their yard and it would have gone downhill from there. The original slant six and automatic transmission are not in the car and the previous owner did not have it either. From what I heard, the car was up and running just fine until the late 90's when it ran hot and was parked. The engine was pulled for overhaul... the owner never got around to it and decided to sell it. The previous owner bought the car with the intensions to drop a V8 in it... and never did. That is when I purchased the car. The car is actually in pretty nice shape! It has your typical B-body rust issues here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary. The reddish-orange paint job is "amateur" best. It does not look like much (if any) body work was done before the paint was applied. It even has a few cat paw prints here and there... haha. From what I can tell, all of the original body panels are still on the car and it has never been wrecked. The grille looks very nice with just a couple stress cracks on the surround. I do not see any missing sections on the grille, which is nearly impossible! It even has the '68-only bezel surrounding the bulbs which are commonly missing. The doors, hood, and trunk lid open and close fine. As I mentioned... this car has typical B-body rust in the lower quarters, trunk floor, trunk extensions, rear valance, one rocker panel and a couple small flaky soft spots in the floor. All four frame rails and torsion bar crossmember look to be very solid though!! Surprisingly, the rear glass area looks to be very solid... which if you've looked at Chargers, you know this spot usually goes first. The roof has a small spot right above the rear glass and it will need some attention as well as the seams on the sail panels. Every panel has it's fair share of minor dents and dings... but like I said, it has never been wrecked. This car was a daily driver for 30 years. It's amazing that it is still in good shape. Drive it as is or restore it back to show quality. The interior will need to be replaced but is mostly intact. The cluster shows it's age and displays 944 miles. I'm sure this is actually 100,944 miles. The seats are not original to the car and I'm not sure what they came out of. The buckets are currently not bolted in, but were at one time. There is no headliner in the car, but most of the bows are in the trunk. The glass looks decent but the windshield will need to be replaced. The engine bay looks very solid with the exception of the battery tray. The car originally had power steering, manual drum brakes, non-A/C, and a 2 speed windshield wiper motor. The original slant six K-frame and swap bar is still in the car. The car also still has its original 8 1/4 rear end. The grille and all of it's components are still intact. The headlight doors are not frozen and will open and close by hand. I do not have a driveshaft for the car. All four wheels roll fine but two of the tires will only hold air for a few hours. I can air up the tires when it is time to pick up the car, but if you decide to pull this car on a two wheel dolly, I would strongly recommend bringing a good pair of wheels and tires. The fender tag and VIN plate are still on the car and I have a CLEAR MISSISSIPPI TITLE that is ready to be signed over to the new owner. The fender tag decodes as followed: XP29: Dodge Charger 2 Door Sports Hardtop 21: 225cid Slant Six Engine 5: 3-Speed Automatic Transmission 33: 7.35x14 Tires 325: March 25, 1968 Build Date AX2: 2.94 Rear Axle Ratio TRM C6R: Charger Trim Grade, Vinyl Bucket Seats. Red Interior. PNY WW1: Monotone White Paint. UBS R: Burgundy Metallic Upper Door Frame Color. MOLDINGS: 25: Drip Rail Mouldings 30: Body Belt Mouldings 78: Wheel Lip Mouldings ABC OPTIONS: R1: AM Radio Y6: Black Vinyl Top abc OPTIONS: b4: Bucket Seats This would make a GREAT Christmas present for someone who has always been wanting a Dodge Charger! It would also be a great start to building a Dukes of Hazzard General Lee replica (It looks like it was heading that way anyways). But if you are like me, I would love to see it restored back to original with a correct slant six... and put it back white, w/ a black top, and red interior... but that's just me. I'm kind of a purist for rare and unusual Mopars! :) The sky is the limit. ALL BIDDERS, PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: ** SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!!!!!!! ** If you do not have money to buy the car... or if you have no intensions to even pay for the car, please do not bid. I WILL turn you in to eBay as a non-paying bidder. ** I am very easy to work with but I ask that you pay for the car IN FULL within 10 days after the auction has ended. I have room on my property, so if you need extra time to schedule deliver/pick up, I am perfectly fine with that... as long as the car is paid for in full. I will not charge a storage fee. ** A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 3 days after the auction has ended. I will accept Paypal or payment through the mail for the deposit. I will not accept Paypal for the remaining balance unless you do not mind paying the 3% fee that I will be charged. ** All payments must be paid in full and must clear my bank before I will release the vehicle for delivery. ** Please to not show up on a Sunday afternoon and expect to pick up the car with a handwritten personal check. That will not work. Feel free to contact me with with any questions. Thank you for looking at my auction!! |

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars
Thu, Jan 29 2015Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger. Take a look. News Source: howtoPRANKitup via YouTube, The Detroit News Humor Detroit Auto Show Audi Dodge Mercedes-Benz Coupe Luxury Performance Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show prank
