Here's the story on this car.  I had been looking for a mid 60's MOPAR for a few different reasons.  My wife's Uncle was part owner of a Dodge dealership back in the 60's and early 70's (Heaven for any MOPAR lover).  I had seen the movie    " Mr. Holland's Opus " and he used a 65 Coronet for his first Driver's Education car - with some very funny scenes.  My Granddaughter is going thru Drivers Ed right now and I thought a tribute care with EAST TOWER DODGE on the side of the car would be great for everybody.  WELL, I just can't get it done.  For some reason I just don't get everything done anymore like I used to.  I'm 60 now and things just take longer.  I'm not going to be able to get this car anywhere near finished in time.  So it's for sale. 

I bought the car out of Nebraska and had it shipped here so it's not an Illinois rust bucket.  But PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read this description closely.  This car needs a complete restoration.  Yes, it will run.  Yes, the transmission works, Yes, the brakes work and yes, it has good tires on it.  The car runs rough and it smokes (blue).  It looks pretty good in the pictures but it's a rattle can paint job just so the neighbors wouldn't complain when it's out (it's been stored inside most all the time).  The lower part of the left front fender is rusted pretty bad.  The lower front part of the right front fender is bent and can probably be straightened.  The rear quarters are in surprisingly good shape as are the floors.  The interior needs restored.  The windshield has wiper streaks on it but the rest of the glass looks good.  The car has an almost new battery and a new fuel pump in it but I think the carb needs rebuilt to help it run a little smoother.  I also purchased a set of used "driver quality" tail lights that may be worth about half of my starting price.  I also have access to another wide block 318 (from a 64 I think).  It can go with the car if it is picked up before March 31.  IT MUST BE OUT OF THE STORAGE AREA BY THEN.  It's a spare 318 a buddy had for his 64 Dodge and it was supposed to be a good running engine before it was pulled and put in storage.  Keep in mind that if the car is shipped, the only place to put the spare engine would be in the trunk of this car and to leave the trunk lid open.  It could do some terrific damage before it got to where it was going. 

Another thing, I would like a deposit on the car within 3-4 days but some of you may be waiting on a tax return (I remember those).  I will wait up to a month on the balance but the car must be paid for before it ships or is picked up.  NO I WILL NOT TAKE A CHECK ON THE DAY THE CAR IS PICKED UP.  Bring green money (or silver or gold).  Good Luck

Please ask any questions.  I want the buyer to be well informed about this car.  THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION

Dodge Challenger Hellcat X is 805-hp worth of charity [w/video]

Mon, Jul 20 2015

Donating to charity is good for the soul. You feel good and help out those in need, and while you should donate out of the goodness of your heart, there's nothing wrong with getting something in return. That's doubly true if that something (or somethings) happen to run on gasoline... a lot of gasoline. For just $3 (plus $40,000 in taxes), you could park not one, but two high-powered Mopars in your driveway. The big item, of course, is the world's most powerful Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Dubbed the Hellcat X after the XF6F, a twin-charged US Navy prototype that evolved into the Hellcat fighter from World War II. Its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 has been supplemented by a turbocharger, boosting output to 805 horsepower. Because, you know, 707 just wasn't quite enough. It should be noted that the Hellcat X isn't a production model – Fiat Chrysler isn't going to be putting a twin-charged Hemi into production – but that it's a one-off job built for the 2015 Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle. Joining the Hellcat X is a handsome, black 1970 Challenger 440 R/T. Complete with a four-barrel carburetor (yeah, we were hoping for a Six Pack, as well), a pistol-grip shifter, and menacing black paint, this exact car was the star of 2012's "Revolution Reborn" television spot. And if this car's on-air claim to fame isn't enough, rest easy knowing you're the owner of just one of 100 black 440 R/Ts produced in 1970. Now, single tickets do start at $3, although there are larger bundles available, including a $5,000, 6,000-ticket package. Proceeds from the drawing, which is being put on by Dream Giveaway, will go towards New Beginning Children's Home charity, which issues grants to everything from the National Guard Educational Foundation to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. You can check out more on the Hellcat X in the video, below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2014 Dodge Durango

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.

The Dodge Demon is coming, an evil mutation of the Challenger SRT Hellcat

Thu, Jan 12 2017

If there's one thing we'll take more of, it's Hellcat. Dodge's 707-horsepower supercharged V8 is a shining star of muscle car ideals. A panacea to the cylinder-count and displacement atrophy. And according to Dodge's new website, www.ifyouknowyouknow.com, a even crazier version of the Challenger SRT Hellcat is on the way. It's called the Dodge Demon. The website features a series of videos that reveal more and more details of the upcoming car. As of this writing, only the first teaser is available, title cage (and also seen above). The final video, and full reveal, of the car, coincides with the dates for the 2017 New York Auto Show. Details are scant at this point. The video, and the press release statement from FCA passenger car chief Tim Kuniskis, point to quarter-mile performance as the Demon's sole purpose in life. Said Kuniskis, "The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is conceived, designed and engineered for a subculture of enthusiasts who know that a tenth is a car and a half second is your reputation." Whether that means an all-wheel-drive Hellcat, more power, or both remains to be seen. Stay tuned. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
