1966 Dodge Dart Gt Convertible Numbers Matching V8, Most Restoration Done! on 2040-cars

Year:1966 Mileage:97000
Location:

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Original #s matching 273 V8, original #s matching automatic in the console professionally rebuilt ($1,100.), bodywork 90% done, original bucket seats professionally reupholstered ($900), runs and drives great, easy to finish restoration of a real (Not a clone!) rare numbers matching 1966 DART GT V8 Convertible!

Car was originally yellow, now in black primer; see photos of restoration in progress.

This car had factory undercoating and/or rustproofing treatment when new, much of which remains.

This car runs and drives beautifully; the numbers matching 273 V8 purrs beautifully. 
The original numbers matching Torqueflite automatic transmission was just rebuilt.
New muffler, new battery, good brakes, shocks, frame, undercarriage, etc.

97,000 actual miles!

Most of the bodywork has been done (over $3,000 spent on body), only minor dents and finishing details remain.
Original seats have been professionally reupholstered ($900). Needs carpet and interior detail work.  

Convertible top works good manually, is serviceable, but needs to be replaced to complete the restoration properly.

Tires have good tread, but are older.  I would recommend replacing them before you drive home.  I drive this car locally but would not trust the tires on the Interstates.  Of course, if you're trailering it home, you can replace them later.

I have owned this car for many years.  I simply do not have the money to complete the restoration now. 
My loss is your gain!

When the restoration is finished, this car could easily be a $30,000 car at a collector car auction, etc.  Here is an opportunity for someone to finish the job and make a very good profit, or finish it and just enjoy this beautiful rare Mopar!  You could even drive it like it is and restore it gradually while you are driving it!

The title is clear, in my name, so transfer of title is easy and trouble-free.

$500 deposit within 24 hours, balance in 7 days in cash, or verifiable Cashier's Check, or bank-to-bank transfer.

Pick up or Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.   Delivery is available at $1 per mile, within a reasonable distance, if the car is paid for in advance.

Thank you for looking, bidding on and buying my car!  The winning bidder will get quite a nice, rare bargain here!

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
