Dundas, Ontario, Canada
|
This car was originally from the USA and was imported into Canada 16 years ago. It is located in Dundas, ON which is just outside Hamilton in storage. Viewing can be arranged. I purchased it off the previous owner who had it for 16 years and drove it every year except winter. I was going to customize it, but found something already done, so im going to put it up for sale. The Good:It runs, drives and stops. I had it at about 60-70mph on the highway for about an hour. I have drove it around town as well. I have drove maybe 3 or 400 miles in the car. The radiator and carburetor have been professionally rebuilt right after i got it. The brakes work as they will lock the wheels if you hit them hard enough, I do have 6 new wheel cylinders to go with the car as i was going to change to a dual master set up. The interior was done at some point. Its in very good condition. Original tube radio still works, wipers are new and work (no washer though), horn works. All glass is there and not cracked, windows roll up and down. Body is solid from the grass line up no rust. No rust on the doors. Original headliner still in car and intact. Starts right up, first time cold no problems. I have the original factory service repair manual and parts catalogue with all the parts numbers, and a owners manual. Cigarette lighter still works. Push button transmission functions great in all gears. Original generator works fine. Oil pressure is good. The oil pressure and amp meter both work fine. Has Power steering, but manual drum brakes. Heater works. Headlights, signal lights and tail and brake lights all work. All body parts needed are available. Classic 2 Current has the floors and all panels needed, also here on ebay. This is a good place to start on your restoration. Something you can drive while you work. The Bad: The floors, trunk and rockers were done before i bought it from previous owner. He drove it for 16 years, but they were done right. He described it as a wrap around job. So while you can drive this car as it sits, they need to be done again. Oil leak from valve covers, but have new valve cover gaskets in the trunk. Also speedometer and odometer dont work, I have new speedo in the trunk. The odometer reads 85000 and change and previous owner estimated current mileage at around 88000. The fuel gauge doesnt work, new owner had new fuel tank installed so not sure if sending unit in there or not. I did noticed if i fill it right up it will leak, it appears to come from where filler neck meets tank, so im guessing no seal was used in there.Temperature guage also doesnt work, I put in new thermostat and housing. But thats as far as i got there. There is some rust on the inside of the trunk lip, not on the trunk itself but just the lower substructure. The lower quarters, rockers, lower fender by the door all have bondo, as well the the top of the fenders by the headlights. Missing passenger side sun visor. Exhaust is aftermarket cherry bomb that wasnt routed correctly in my opinion, but leaks as well so needs to be redone. May be a leak from the manifold, but not sure. It will smoke after it gets warm, so may be from valve cover leak. Also paid a friend to change the oil and filter, and he complained about how hard it was to get the gaskets right (old style canister). So now when it runs there appears to be a slight leak from there. It didnt leak before he changed oil, so im guessing he botched the gaskets. When i got the car, the keys didnt work in any of the locks. I shot WD40 in them all, now they all work fine except drivers door. Will sell to USA and Canada only. Please only serious bidders, as this costs over a 125 dollars to list. Only bidders with over 10 feedback. I will cancel others unless you contact me first. I will assist in shipping if I can and can help load it, but shipping is the sole responsibility of the winning bidder. 500 Deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. If buy it now is used, 500 deposit is due immediately. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. I may have missed something, or if i haven't covered something you want to know i can surely find out if i can. Ive tried to be as honest on here as i can. As I hate surprises. Of course selling as is, where is with no warranty. Ive seen this listed in a few auctions so i will repeat it, its bid to win, not to view it. Thank you for your time. Best of luck. |

Roadkill builds crazy-cheap 1968 Dodge Charger rat rod using an old motorhome
Tue, 24 Dec 2013Certain requests for description simply cannot be fulfilled, like if someone asked you to describe Picasso's Guernica or Gilliam's Brazil. There is only one appropriate answer to such entreaties, and that is: "You just gotta see it." That's where we are with the latest episode of Roadkill, wherein Messr's Freiburger and Finnegan dig out a 1968 Dodge Charger that Freiburger acquired in exchange for a set of cylinder heads, and intend to stuff it with the big-block motor from a long-bed, three-quarter ton Dodge pickup.
Only the pickup is too nice to tear apart, and the Charger needs a whole lot more lovin' - and parts - than initially expected. Enter, stage right, the Class A Dodge Pace Arrow motorhome with a 440 big-block purchased for $1,000, and a retired Plymouth Fury from a previous episode.
What ensues over the course of the 40-minute installment is more cuttin', yankin', leakin', stallin', hammerin' and smokin' action than you've seen in a long time, and some techniques that would have made even Cooter wonder, "I'm not sure if we should do that." By the end, though, the payoff is good enough to make you think about perusing AutoTrader for a '68 Charger just to see if maybe...
Dodge revives Challenger T/A and Charger Daytona trims for 2017
Tue, Aug 16 2016Dodge is reviving the Challenger's T/A trim and the Charger's Daytona line for 2017. Introduced on iconic Woodward Avenue just days before the annual Woodward Dream Cruise kicks off, the new variants promise more performance hardware and sportier aesthetics. We'll start with the two-door. The Challenger T/A, available with either the R/T trim's 5.7-liter V8 or the fire-breathing 6.4-liter Hemi V8, is inspired by the Challenger T/As of old. That means a less restrictive, 2.75-inch active exhaust system and a conical Mopar air filter. But there's no clear bump in output – Dodge still lists the base 5.7-liter at 375 horsepower and the 6.4-liter model at 485 hp. But hey, they're going to look cooler. Unlike the Challenger Hellcat, which should have it as standard, Dodge is including a Satin Black hood on every Challenger T/A. In fact, Satin Black is a recurring theme on this Challenger's front fascia, roof, rear decklid, and T/A bodyside stripes. And yes, the 20-inch Mopar wheels are black, too – they're also an inch wider than normal. Dodge is offering the T/A in three different trims. The base T/A has everything we described above, while the T/A Plus adds some comfort features like heated and vented Nappa leather seats, an 8.4-inch UConnect system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a six-speaker stereo, and a shortcut button for the Dodge Performance Pages. The T/A 392, meanwhile, adds the 6.4-liter V8, even wider wheels, and Brembo six-pot calipers. If you prefer smoking tires with four doors, there's the new Charger Daytona. No, there's not an enormous wing on the back. But Dodge added the same kind of engine/exhaust upgrades found on the T/A while upping the top speed from 135 to 150 miles per hour. Satin Black features prominently again, with hood and rear fender graphics. The roof is also black. Unlike the Challenger, Dodge is only offering two different versions of the Daytona – the 5.7-liter base model and the 6.4-liter version, called the Daytona 392. Prices for the Challenger T/A start at $38,485, including a $1,095-destination charge, while the T/A Plus adds $2,750. Adding the 392 means shelling out $45,090. For the Daytona, you'll need a check for $40,985 for the 5.7-liter or $46,090 for the 6.4-liter. Orders for the Charger Daytona open in September, while the T/A is a month later. Related Video:
Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
