1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer on 2040-cars
Springfield, Oregon, United States
Here's a car you don't see too often... a 1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer, 2-dr H/T. It is almost complete, but still a project. Here is the description: BODY: very straight, some patches of surface rust here and there. There is a small area under each tail light unit with some holes, as shown in close-up. All the trim is there, with the exception of the LANCER script on each front fender, and the DODGE script on hood. Some other trim pieces that don't appear in photos are in the trunk. The antenna is gone, though. This is a really solid car, in it's original gold & white 2-tone colors. One tail light needs a red lens - it has 2 clear ones. Chrome on front grill pieces is excellent. Bumpers are straight but OK, and need re-chromed. GLASS: Driver's side window is cracked, and windshield has some delaminating going on one side (see close-up) ENGINE: This V8 Red Ram is a 315 ci poly motor. It came from a '56 Dodge Royal donor car - it ran great when it was installed 3 years ago. Still needs linkage hooked up. Radiator has been rebuilt. I'm not sure about tranny, but the donor cars was a driver, so I'm sure it is OK. TIRES: they hold air - that's about it. INTERIOR: It needs totally redone. The original seat covers are still on seats. Door panels are good for patterns only. All door handles & window cranks are in a box. Dash looks pretty good too. I have 3 complete extra dashes, so if you need a part, I have it most likely. Floors have been patched; drivers side has new piece welded in, and the floor is covered in what looks like fiberglass painted silver...not sure what that process was. But it feels solid. No headliner, but bows are in trunk. Trunk has one area of rust holes on left, as shown in close-up. The bottom of the spare tire well is even solid! This would make a really great project - it's all there and solid. Unfortunately there is no title to this car. It has Oregon license plates from 1956, ( 8E 1233) and the DMV shows nothing on record; it's been out of the loop a long time. I will provide Bill of Sale. Arranging transport is buyer's responsibility, but I will help on this end, such as towing it to a pick-up area. Any questions feel free to call or email me: (Terry) 541-726-8467 eves PST Good luck bidding! You won't be disappointed.... PS Several photos did not load properly; I can email them upon request

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Dodge Colt Vista
Wed, Oct 19 2016The partnership between Chrysler and Mitsubishi started way back in 1971 and led to plenty of Mitsubishis being sold in the United States as Chryslers, Dodges, Plymouths, and Eagles (plus the use of Mitsubishi engines in all manner of Chrysler-built vehicles). The Colt name – used on a series of Galant-, Lancer-, and Mirage-based cars – became a fairly successful brand for Chrysler, and so it was slapped on Dodge- and Plymouth-badged Mitsubishi Chariots. The Colt Vista wasn't a huge sales success, and you won't see many today, but they had a certain following. Here's a rare '90 that I spotted in a Minneapolis self-service wrecking yard over the summer. Just 114k miles on this one, but the rust got pretty bad and that's the most likely culprit for its junkyardization. These cars made good family haulers, although you wouldn't find many of their 2016 counterparts sporting three pedals. Turbo Tom kept it going for quite a while, but rust never sleeps in Minnesota.

Watch these Super Bowl car commercials [UPDATE]
Sat, Feb 2 2019On Sunday, February 3, the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Some will watch because of the storyline of the old-school dynasty facing off against the new-school wunderkinds, but a large chunk of people will solely be watching for the commercials. Lucky for those who slot into the latter category, many of the manufacturers release their super bowl ads ahead of time, or have simply opted to release the commercials only online. Scroll down to see what car companies have already shown their cards. Audi Audi goes the comedic route in its clip for the Big Game. It starts with a grandpa showing his grandson a gorgeous Audi e-tron GT tucked away in a garage before he's shaken awake. Turns out he was just choking on a cashew in his cubicle at his boring job. Dodge Dodge does what it knows: create enough smoke to punch more holes in the ozone layer. Set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia (the Super Bowl is in Atlanta, get it!?), a Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Durango SRT are seen ripping through a city, leaving a trail of rubber crumbs in their wakes. Genesis Genesis has not yet released a commercial prior to the Super Bowl, but it is the official luxury vehicle of the NFL. Because of this, Genesis is hosting a fan experience for 10 days before the game. It will showcase the brand's cars, offer games, and have photos opportunities and autograph days. Hyundai Jason Bateman alert! Hyundai is one of the few companies to hook a major celebrity for its advertisement, and the casting is perfect. Bateman plays a doorman who takes people to various terrible events in life, including root canals, the middle seat, and shopping for a car. The ad centers around Hyundai's Shopper Assurance, which is Hyundai's new method for car shopping. Jeep An old 1963 Jeep Gladiator finds its strength in the crusher and transforms into a a new 2020 Gladiator, with a firm declaration that the nameplate is officially back. Kia Through Kia's commercial, a young boy wonders out loud what it'd be like if the millions spent on Super Bowl commercials were used to help others.
2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee
Tue, 12 Mar 2013I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.
